Weaning Max

Weaning Penny at 20 months was a smooth and easy transition.  I was working and we were both ready for it.  Weaning Max (I was hoping by 20 months, too) is not as easy.  I am ready to stop and he is not.  He expects and requests it at wake-up, before nap, after nap, and at bedtime.  The gentle way to wean is, "don't offer, don't refuse" That probably will not work for this one.  There will be some whining and crying on his part, and some ignoring and some giving-in on my part.  Wish us luck!

All dressed-up

We had some family photos taken yesterday and we took these at home afterwards.  You can't tell from this picture, but it took both of us pinning Max down, and Pocky treats, to get him into this shirt and bow tie!  He also did his best to escape the photographer the entire time during the photo session...

Tilden park

We finally tried the steam train ride at Tilden Park in Berkeley.  Max has been obsessed with trains and watching train videos on YouTube.  He loved it.  Choo-Choo!

Pumpkin time!

Hay ride, corn pit, hay maze, wagon, and pumpkins!  These pics are from Penny's preschool field trip to G&M Farm.  Daddy, Max and I all went along had a great time!
