Train Town!

We went to Sonoma this weekend to check out a place to live and also to take Ford to Train Town. It is this super cute amusement park for little kids that has rides, petting zoo and of course a train! Ford loved it all! I think we will be going a lot more once we move!

 

 

Ford loves animals and has no fear when it comes to feeding an petting them!

 

Train Town has an old western town with a jail, chapel and a saloon!

This boy has no fear! Although he looks terrified on this roller coaster he loved it! He was by far the youngest one riding! I am in the car in front of them and hold the my phone over my head to capture these pics! Luckily I held onto on my phone!

 

 

 

Ford and I rode the "Scrambler" and it is just as the name says! We definitely got scrambled and neither one of us were a fan!! 

 

He's on the train about to go through the tunnel!!!

 

 Mr. Personality waving to his fans as he flies by!!

Halloween 2013

Holidays are getting to be so much fun because Ford is finally old enough to really participate! This year he was a fire man (shocking, I know!), and could not wait to go trick-or-treating (even though he had no idea what that meant!). We set out on Halloween night and Ford was a bit uncertain, but by the 3rd  house he was ringing the doorbell, saying trick-or-treat, grabbing a fist full of candy, and then saying "Thanks, see you soon!". Several times after he said trick-or-treat he would just walk right into the people's houses! Erik and I laughed so hard watching him, and I think that we might of had more fun than Ford! That little boy keeps us laughing with all that personality! On Friday morning when I went to get him out of bed, he said "I go trick-or-treat again?!?".

 

 

 



 

We carved our pumkins waaaay too early this year and ended up having to throw them out, but it was still a fun memory!



I am 27 months old!

I find myself thinking "I can't believe how much I love this little boy" pretty much everyday! Ford is such a sweet little boy and is almost always so good! Knock on wood we really haven't had much of the "terrible two's", but I am sure that could change! He definitely has his moments, but they are rare  and usually don't last long! He really is such a joy to be around I don't know how I will ever send him off to school! Here are some facts about Ford at 27 months!

 

 

*He talks all the time and knows so many words! If he doesn't know the name of something he just makes it up!

*Here are some funny words he uses:

Up-mess: Mickey Mouse

Up-fly: Butterfly

Saw-saur: Dinosaur

Jewey: Zebra

Popdo: Popcicle

Dada ahhh: tractor

Peace car: Police car

Sue-shwee: Sommer

Kiki: Kinsey (our neighbor)

Kaka: McKenna (our neighbor)

aaa-ence: ambulance

*He has an unbelievable memory! He remembers things all the time that totally blow me away!

*He is still obsessed with all things truck and tractor! He loves to point out all the trucks, police cars, fire trucks and ambulances on the road and say "wook Mama, peace car!"

*Monday's are probably his favorite day because that's trash day, and he gets to see garbage trucks! When he hears them he runs to the windows yelling "hurry hurry I see ga-bage truck, Mama!"

*He loves his trucks so much that he has to have a least 4 of them in his bed for nap time and at night! I have to sneak in once he's asleep and get them out of his bed so he doesn't roll over onto a dump truck! If I would let him he would fill his entire bed with trucks!

*He knows all his colors including brown, black, pink, purple and gray!
*He loves baby goats and wants to watch YouTube videos of them!

*He can count to 10, but usually leaves out the number 7!

*We are working on his ABC's and he is getting close! At the end he just sings "I know, I know, I know"!

*He still loves to watch Curious George on TV. He says "I watch Ha, Mama!".

*He loves to say "Georgio" with an Italian accent like Chef Pescetti Does on Curious George!

*He has finally started to take interest in riding his Strider bike and getting really good!

*I always tell him he is precious and he says " I presh!"

*We started taking classes at My Gym this month, and he loves it! His favorite part is playing in the ball pit!

*When he wants me to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to him he says "Tinko Tinko, Mama!"

*He loves to do puzzles and when he finishes them he starts screaming "I did it, I did it!"

*He is so sweet to other little kids and always shares his toys, and never tries to take toys away from other kids!

*He loves to draw and color with crayons and markers. He prefers to use markers! How do kids know that markers are better??

*He loves to look on the fridge at his art work and yell "I draw that, I draw that!"

 

 

Here is our little Ford at 27 months! I just don't think I could love him anymore!
