Time Out

Tonight, Mason put his Elmo in a time out. It was so hard not to crack up. He sat him in the chair and said "Don't move! No no, be nice!" Then he told us "Elmo got a time out. Elmo mean to Mason."

After a while, he walked over to Elmo, kneeled down and looked at Elmo and said "You gonna be good? Okay, give me hug!" (I say this to Mason every time he gets a time out) It was so funny to see Mason doing this exactly as I do to him. Poor Elmo. Mason made him sit there most of the night.

Pumpkin Patch

Proud Moments

The other day, we were playing at Chic-Fil-a. There was a little girl there and she kept looking at Mason's toy elephant that he had. He said "Wanna see it?" and handed it to her. Of course, this doesn't happen often, but I was still proud of him. He only let her hold it for a few seconds and then wanted it back, but it's a start.

Then, as we were walking out, this teeny little guy came walking up. He was about 10-12 months and you could tell he hadn't been walking long. Mason ran towards him with his arms out and I thought he was going to push him. So, I started running to grab Mason. Then, Mason gave the little boy a big hug. He said "Look! It's a baby. Mason hugged the baby."

Today we went to Starbucks and I was drinking my coffee, and Mason was drinking his juice. He sat still in his own chair and was so good. There was another little girl about the same age and she was running around crazy while her parents kept yelling at her. I know that a lot of it has to do with Mason's personality, but I was still proud that he was so good while I had my coffee break.

On another note, a great proud moment... The other day, Mason's nose was a little runny and we were in the grocery store with no tissues. So, I took the inside of his shirt and wiped his nose with it. Just now, I was laying Mason down for a nap. He had a runny nose, so I used a Kleenex to clean his nose. He said "No, Mommy! Use the shirt to clean it." I guess I'm going to have to start setting a better example :)

Apple Festival

Mason and I went with my mom to the Apple Festival in my home town this past weekend. Mason got to do lots of fun stuff. He really loved riding the ponies. He almost had a huge meltdown when he had to get off.

He played some games. This game was basically bowling, but with apples. He wouldn't really roll the apples. He just carried the apples down to the end where the pins were and then knocked them down :)
Here he is sitting VERY patiently while he had a pumpkin painted on his face.

And this is him on the hay ride. He really loved this. He kept saying "Weeeee! Horsey ride!"
