Pumpkin Patch

Tonight at our Chinese dinner James and I opened fortune cookies that were fortune-less. We agreed that it was a good thing and that we could decide out fate! Pam (James' mom read the remaining fortune and it said, others enjoy your company. We all decided that the most deserved person for that fortune was, who else--Elliot.
We had the most gorgeous day to take E to the pumpkin patch. The best part was the shady maze made from bales of hay. He ran all around and loved watching the older kids playing chase. He went up and over, up and over. As you can see in one photo, Elliot was so happy to make friends with a little boy about 8 months older. Look at the smile Elliot puts on! He is actually unbelievably captivated by children and VERY eager to make friends...even if they aren't. He's a special person.
I painted a little Elmo pumpkin which Elliot ran to and hugged saying, "Elmo!" Oh--and at the pumpkin patch he was so confused when all the orange balls were so heavy and didn't move! That's just confusing! We do so much tossing and kicking of balls at home that he must have thought these were broken.
On the way home from dinner he attempted to say as many words as possible. Reminds me of someone...
My mom did have to buy me the children's book Little Miss Chatter Box when I was quite young. Wonder if they have a Little Mister Blabber Box? I have to tell you, sometimes he is the best conversationalist.
