Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween

Today is HALLOWEEN!!!! I love HALLOWEEN!!! I dressed up as Woody from Toy Story. First we had a parade where we walked once around the neighborhood. Then we trick or treated. I got so much candy. YUM-YUM! I got to see my friends Santiago, Jena, John Parker and Sammy. Elli and Megan moved so I didn't see them this year. Santiago's daddy dressed up too. He was IRON MAN. He was so cool! I also saw a buzz lightyear. We hung out a bit but I don't know him at all.

Mommy will post photos soon.

Tackle football

Today Mr. Juan (Santiago's daddy) taught me how to play tackle football. This is the coolest thing ever. I run with the ball and Santiago has to tackle me to the ground or Santiago will run with the ball and I get to tackle him. This is so much fun. Mommy was shocked that I could play this game and daddy was really proud of me. Next time mommy will get this on video.

Quinten's Birthday Party!

Finger paints

Mommy's note: I'm really impressed with Cody's art work in preschool. I'll be posting some of his masterpieces soon.

Cody comes home!

I'm fully potty trained!!!

I've been using the potty for awhile now and mom's been putting me down at nap time without a pull up. So tonight I told mommy I wanted to wear big boy underwear. Mommy hesitated but she let me pick out a clean pair of big boy underwear and off to bed I went.

Mommy's Note: I woke up several times throughout the night wondering if Cody was ok. Last week, he came in our bedroom a few times to wake me up so I could help him use the potty but tonight he didn't so I checked on him. Cody was out cold. I checked around his bed with my hand and it was dry. Hummm..... A few hours later I woke up and again checked on him. He was totally snoring away. I guess he's going to make it thru the night without waking up and that's exactly what he did. I woke him up around 6:15am and he was ready to use the potty. I'm so proud of Cody right now. He's really turning into such the big boy.

Birthday invites done!

Mommy's note: So about 2 weeks ago Cody decided he wanted to be Woody from Toy Story for Halloween. From that we (Cody and I) decided he was going to have a TOY STORY Birthday Party!!! We had so much fun talking about it and he's getting very excited about having a party. So after 2 weeks of thinking of his theme and how I was going to potentially decorate the house for his party I decided that I wanted to make his invitations. I just didn't love the store bought ones and unfortunately I kind of waited to long to order some really cute ones on the internet so I thought I made the invites last year why not this year. Well, last year was so much easier than this. I went from Toy Story invite ideas, to Buzz ideas to finally settling on Woody invites. Even though I wanted to have a Toy Story party I kind of chose to just stick with Woody on the invites since Cody had a woody costume and that of course makes for a good photo shoot. Ha-ha!

With the help of my sister Wendy, we came up with the perfect invites. I'll post a photo of the invites after I download them.

Mommy don't forget to turn the light on.

Daddy read me 2 books before bed tonight. Then both of them gave me kisses goodnight. A few minutes later I called out for mommy. I told her that she forgot to turn the light on. Then I pointed to my shelf with the camera on it.

Bye bye sunglasses

So today mommy took me to meet up with Aunt Wee Wee at Michaels. I've never been in this store before. As we were walking in I told mommy how sunny it was. We got in the store and mommy and Aunt Wee Wee were looking for some stuff for me. They roamed the store and paid. On our way out mommy said where's your sunglasses Cody? Oh no mommy, I said. So mommy and I went back in to search for them. What's crazy is I don't even know where I left them. Mommy never heard me drop them and I certainly didn't throw them otherwise she would have seen me or probably felt them as they hit her head. Mommy's really bummed. This is the 2nd pair I lost. Well, I actually threw the other pair in the river but mommy didn't see that. I was with daddy when I flung them with all my might. The funny thing is it's October and today was actually in the upper 80's which required us to wear our sunglasses. Heck it's the end of summer we really wasn't suppose to get a sunny day and I'm thinking we won't get any more from here on out so did I really need to keep my shades? Nahhh, I didn't think so.

Anyway, mommy left her name and number with Michael's but she knows it's a lost cause. But she'll make a call tomorrow just in case they found them over night while cleaning up the store or stocking the shelves.

BEDTIME:

So I didn't take my nap today. Like I mentioned, it was an extremely warm day. Mommy and daddy kept their windows open so it was a little warm in the house. I just couldn't sleep. So mommy and I ran a few errands, played outside, planted some mums, and watched Nemo. Mommy also made homemade chicken noodle soup for dinner tonight. She really wanted to cook out on the grill but I can't eat the chicken and dumplings they are serving at preschool tomorrow so mommy decided to boil a whole chicken, debone it, and then with the left over juice, make homemade chicken soup. She bought some tiny noodles at Giant, cooked them and added them to the soup. Unfortunately just eating the soup made us even hotter. Anyway, to make a long story short, I missed my nap so mommy figured I'd goto sleep around 7pm. Wrong. Sure I was a little tired but the quick bath to get the sweat off of me woke me right up. Mommy finally got me in my bed but I kept coming out of my room. 1st I had to use the bathroom. Then I had to use the bathroom again. Then I had to sing her Mary had a little lamb. Then I needed some water. Oh and lastly I had to sing her another rhyme I learned on Dora. I could tell mommy was getting tired of my game. So I told her goodnight and that it was ok to close the door 1/2 way.

Mommy's note: Suddenly I heard silence. Could this be true? Could sweet little, on the go, never stops, Codyman be asleep? Ahh.....now it's time to relax.
