Apple Orchard

Since the weather was finally acting like Fall weather we decided to make a quick trip to the Hastings Afton Apple Orchard. It was a great Orchard! When we arrived we hopped on a hay ride which took us to the pumpkin patch. Miley ran straight out into the patch as if she had spotted the perfect pumpkin a mile away! We each got a pumpkin and carried it to the other side of the patch where we could pick some apples. Miley was very excited about her little pumpkin she so proudly discovered, she wouldn’t let go of it for the life of her.

Then Taylor took her to an apple tree and showed her how to pick good ones off of the tree branches, she figured that out quickly and was dropping them into the apple bag. Since we came up to the row of trees in the middle we had no idea what kind of apples we had picked so I grabbed one off the tree to try a sample and tried to see if Miley wanted a bite as eating apple slices is a new thing for her and I didn’t think she’d be able to eat the apple off the core, well, to our surprise, she went over and picked her own apple and started chowing! She did really well eating the apple, she munched on it on our entire ride back to the store on the hay wagon. Then she wanted another one once we got in the car and started to head home! I’m glad we had this adventure because now we have a new snack for her, and she asks for them by name and loves apples! I knew she would once she would finally try them.









I am very excited for Sunday as we will be carving our pumpkins! It will be interesting to see how she does this year, she wasn’t too enthused last year but I have a feeling it will be a BIG hit this year!

The other night I was folding her laundry and we have a stock of big girl panties now as we are thinking we are going to have potty training/learning weekend in two weeks. So, she had on her Elmo jammies, as she calls them, and she saw the Elmo panties that I was folding and she got so excited and couldn’t believe she Elmo panties AND Elmo jammies and of course then she had to have them on. Silly girl! She was dancing around the whole living room and kitchen so proud of her Elmo’s, it was hard to get a picture of her as she was too excited to stand still and say Cheese!



As for her Baby Brother- things are still going well, he’s still really low! I don’t ever feel any movements up high, they are all down by my pelvic bone and hips. Miley now gets excited when we talk about her baby brother and her being a big sister. I had gotten some clothes for him the other day and she was looking at them and I explained to her that they were for her baby brother and she ran around carrying them saying Baby Brother Baby Brother Baby Brother, so hopefully that is a good sign that she will be excited to have a new baby in the house! And when we ask her where her Baby Brother is she rubs my tummy like it’s some magic crystal ball, it is so cute!
