Happy Halloween from our little ladybug and Elmo! After all the tears and tantrums with his firefighter costume, Josh didn't think there was any point in trying to dress Wyatt up. Wyatt still had it in his head that he wanted to go trick or treating, but he wanted to be a monster truck, or Cookie Monster. We went to Walmart this afternoon, and it was so picked over. Superstore had a few more options, and I lucked out with Elmo. It took a little cajoling to get Wyatt into the costume, and a little more to get him to go trick or treating, but once he figured out what happens when you say "trick or treat", he was all for it. :) Josh and Paige went back home, and we hit up about 10 houses. I only brought with a small paper lunch bag for Wyatt, thinking he wouldn't want to be out for very long, but even after his bag was jam-packed, he wanted to keep going! I'm glad he enjoyed it. :)

I call this "The Reluctant Firefighter." He wanted to be a firefighter for Halloween, so I found a costume for him. Then he didn't want to wear the hat or the jacket. I bribed him with Smarties and took a picture because dammit, he looked cute.

This isn't exactly what I had in mind for Paige's Halloween costume! After her nap this afernoon, she was just so incredibly fussy. Then I noticed her eye was getting red, and tearing up even if she wasn't crying. By the time Josh came home from work at 3, it was starting to get swollen too. I quickly brought her into the walk-in, and the doctor swabbed her eye (!) and then put drops in to see if there was a scratch. Sure enough, right across her pupil and iris. So now I have to give her eyedrops (sooooo easy to do on a baby), and she is supposed to wear an eyepatch to keep her from blinking and irritating it further. She's really thrown off by it, and honestly just sad. After we left the clinic she just rested her head on my shoulder and didn't move - and anyone who knows her knows that is not like her at all. Hopefully after a few days it'll be good as new, but we do have to go to the optomestrist for a 2nd look on Monday.

Wyatt loves to make wrinkles in his nose now, and asks me to do it all the time too. I'm just waiting for him to point out the ones I have that I don't have to try to make, ha ha. :P

Sorry kiddo, I don't know how that happened either.

I just realized I never posted this yesterday. I was certain I had....go figure. Anyway, we decided to try a little cereal yesterday, and Paige hoggered it back like she's been eating solids her whole life.
Oh yeah, and it's our anniversary today. We celebrated it by taking turns dealing with an insufferably whiny toddler (daycare days turn him into a little monster by supper) and a teething baby. Wheeeeeeee.

Happy 5 months Paige! :)

I haven't posted much over the past few days - I had a rough couple of days, and then Josh and I were in the city to celebrate our anniversary (early) by shopping for other people. :P I am almost done Christmas shopping though! And today I spent almost the entire day work on jewellery orders - the Christmas rush has begun!

Not a lot of pictures of Wyatt, either. He's potty training, and therefore running around nekkid from the waist down most of the time. Not really blog-friendly pictures. He's doing good though, so long as he doesn't have any sort of clothing on. :S Suggestions?
