A few things I want to remember about this time in our lives:
-This kid is fantastic. She loves anything we do together as a family whether it be work, travel, or play.
-We have been pretty solid with potty training for about the past month. There have been a few accidents here or there, but overall she's doing really well!
-Meltdowns have been less and less. We have had so much fun just learning and playing together.
-Often at bedtime Scarlett will insist on hugging us both together, accompanied with "I love you boths!" and insisting on kisses on both cheeks at the same time.
-I had a moment recently when I thought "what if she's the only one we're blessed with?" I instantly started crying tears of gratitude for such an amazing daughter and vowed to be a better mom living more in the moment with her. We are so blessed, and really feel like there are more children coming to our family, but are SO grateful for this one right now!
We started the week carving pumpkins together Monday night. S wasn't a huge fan of pulling the goo out, but was happy to get in the action of carving.

We had a very spur of the moment Halloween party with friends. She had a few activities ready and I took a few with us...the result was a pretty perfect bit of time for 3 littles.
Halloween books
wrap a mummy
Halloween twister
pumpkin collage
S put her backpack on one morning and asked to go to school. She went down the front steps, then came and knocked on the door. We got out a chair by the fire to read stories, and sing songs.
letter game :)
our letter practice
S has really been loving practicing her name. She does remarkably well with S's, but the times that she doesn't she very quickly become frustrated with herself.
My sister called on Friday and was having a rough day. Sometimes that just calls for a spontaneous lunch date. Thanks for a fun hour, Jess!
Nana and Papa did a Halloween party for everyone the night before Halloween. There were about 6 different Halloween games. S was up WAY past her bedtime, but she totally loved it! Nana always does super special things and makes fun Halloween treats.

The only picture I got of her on Halloween. She was to excited for much more than that. I love how much fun she had!
