Dougie knows how to pick up food using a pincer grasp (using his thumb and index finger) but he hasn’t learned to then put it his own mouth. He has learned to put it in our mouths.
We’re hoping that this means he’ll learn to feed himself soon. That’ll make dinners a lot easier.
It’s been our first weekend home in a while. It was sure nice to be around. We had a bunch of things to do but we ignored the list most of the weekend. Instead, we did family things around town and relaxed. Everyone seems to have a cold so we all worked on getting over those.
On Saturday, we took Dougie to the Butterfly Flutterby. It’s a festival that celebrates the passing of the monarch butterfly through the area as it migrates to Mexico for the winter. It was a lot larger than we expected. All the kids dress up like butterflies so it is very cute. Dougie, of course, dressed up. So we, of course, took pictures.
On Sunday morning, we packed ourselves up and went out to Flower Mound to go to the “good” pumpkin patch. It was certainly worth the drive. It was much more impressive than the local one. There were a lot of activities that were much too old for Dougie but I’m sure he’s going to love it in a few years. The best part was that all the activities were free. We spent about an hour there and then came home.
Sssh, don’t tell him this is really his second pumpkin patch
