Jackson's First Field Trip

Jackson had is first field trip with his MDO class.  They went to the pumpkin patch!!  I took off work for the day to take him and we had a great time.  He spent most of the morning just running around picking up leaves and rocks and watching the older kids play.  He was also interested in trying to pet the black lab that was always attempting to hide from us.  She was a sweet dog for letting Jackson get so close and pet her.  Jackson and I went on a hayride to the pumpkin patch.  Jackson wasn't at all interested in the pumpkins.  He wanted to head straight into the woods so I redirected him several times towards the open field.  We had a picnic lunch with all the other kids and their parents.  After we finished at the pumpkin patch, we went by to visit with Aunt Glyn and Bo the Boston Terrier for a few minutes.  We had a great day!!!

Where Does the Time Go?

We have been so busy with work and everything that I almost forgot about our blog.  We have been having so much fun.  Jackson loves the vacuum cleaner.  Fear of that thing is something we don't have to worry about.  I even tried sitting him down on it while it was running and pushing him through the house.  He was hilarious.  Now, when we go to the closet to get it out, he tries to sit on it or play with the piece that has the light on it.  He also loves to play in my doll cabinet.  His favorite thing to do is to take out one of the red nesting dolls and bring it into the living room.  If we catch him trying to open the door to the cabinet we get on to him and tell him no, no.  At that time he asks like he is so innocent and has no idea what we are talking about.  We have also been to the doctor during the month of September because he had the croup.  Thankfully it didn't get too serious and cause us to have to go to the hospital.  At our visit, the doctor gave him a steroid shot after he heard all the "barking" that Jackson was doing.  Jackson loves being outside so much we have ventured out to the park with him.  Ray took him on the big boy slide a couple of times and he loved it.  When we go to the park, he enjoys the freedom of running around and exploring.  Jackson not only like the vacuum cleaner, he also loves the washing machine.  I likes to close the drawer after I put the detergent in and he likes to close the door to the washer and dryer.  When I get ready to do laundry, Jackson loves to come and help out.  I even caught him in the laundry room alone taking clothes out of the hamper and putting them into the washer and then back to the hamper.  It was so funny!
