Wow \u2013 what a week!\u00a0 It started out as a normal week but finished with a flurry of activity.\u00a0 Henry has been working on his clapping for a little while, but on Saturday he thrilled himself and Mom and Dad with a clapping session at dinner, and he could even hear himself making noise as he clapped.\u00a0 This really had him giggling, but then he picked up a towel and started playing \u201cWhere\u2019s Henry\u201d, lifting the towel over his head and then dropping it all by himself.\u00a0 Mom and Dad were just about rolling on the ground laughing at this point.\u00a0 Henry loved his new role as active entertainer.\u00a0 \u00a0On Sunday, Henry took his first trip to a pumpkin patch, and found a few pumpkins that were about his size.<\/p>\n

Eleanor started full on potty training on Thursday, and had some early success going twice with Lala that evening.\u00a0 Friday wasn\u2019t as successful, with a number of accidents and no successes.\u00a0 Saturday started with more of the same, with Dad carrying Eleanor to the potty mid-accident.\u00a0 However, after that she turned the corner and successfully went in the potty four times, plus a successful #2. \u00a0On Sunday, we attempted the trip to the pumpkin patch without diapers, but I think that was a bit too much for her even with the Saturday success.\u00a0 We had an accident in the car on the way there, and then two at the pumpkin patch \u2013 amazingly both in the same little play house.\u00a0 Potty problems aside, Eleanor had a blast at the pumpkin patch.\u00a0 The whole family went down the super slide, and Eleanor started saying \u201cagain\u201d before we even stopped at the bottom.\u00a0 We ended up doing the slide three times, she also rode a truck ride twice, and did the pony ride twice.\u00a0 The second pony ride was on a 17 year old pony named \u201cBones\u201d.\u00a0 She got back on potty track when we got home, and hopefully she will have it mastered soon!<\/p>\n
