Oct. 7, 2012 After getting his pumpkin
Happy October! There really hasn't been too many exciting things this past month in our little household, which is a good thing! We needed a little time to slow down!
Now we are starting to get ready for all the holiday fun! We started off the soon-to-be holiday season by visiting a pumpkin patch. We visited TG Farms in Newcastle. It was probably the least attractive pumpkin patch we could have picked but I had a Groupon and Carson LOVED it anyway. While there we got to pet a baby cow and baby goats, run through a hay maze, play on the playground, and pick our own pumpkins right off the vine! I think Carson enjoyed running free, rolling in the hay, sliding, and riding in the wagon the most. It was a very cold weekend and we were unsure how long Carson would last but the weather didn't seem to bother him a bit. There are several pumpkin patches in OK so we hope to make trying out new ones till find our favorite each October a new family tradition.
This was his initial reaction to the tire pony swing. Once it started swinging he was all smiles :)
This past month we went and saw an ENT about Carson's ear infections. Thankfully when we went in his ears were clear! We met with an ENT that Carson's dr. had recommended and we really liked him. He basically said we could go either way right now, tubes or no tubes. Since Carson has just had his 4th infection and his ears looked great the day of the appointment he really couldn't say he definitely needed them. So he gave us some information about the pros and cons and all about the two different procedure options and told us to think on it. He didn't feel that the infections now or in the future would cause Carson any type of developmental delays, which is what we were most worried about, so we have decided to wait on tubes and see if what we are doing now works for our little guy. But after meeting the doctor and really liking him, if tubes are in our future we are happy we found such a great ENT. I really feel kind and caring doctors are kind of rare!
This month Carson and I will get to enjoy Fall Break, and as a family we will be enjoying some (hopefully) Sooner wins, Halloween candy, and lots of snuggles!
Happy Halloween!!
I look forward to sharing what Carson will look like in his Dragon Costume next month!
