We went to Green Bluffs: Harvest House on Saturday to go find a pumpkin. This one wasn’t quite the “pumpkin patch” that we went to last year; the pumpkins were all together on the grass surrounded by haybails. But, we did get some pumpkins, Sasha picked hers out and Braden got a little 5oz. pumpkin. Braden didn't quite have the same experience as Sasha did, but he survived.
However, the highlight of the day was when Sasha got to experience every little girl’s dream … She got her very own pony … to ride. (Actually, it was truly a horse, just a miniature horse)
She didn’t have the patience to wait in line, but when her turn finally came, she got the smallest horse they had (which was quite a bit smaller than the rest). After riding around for a few minutes, Sasha obviously did not want to get off. Oh, the protest! But it all worked out in the end. She calmed down and we were able to continue on our adventure for the day. Some of us were a little tuckered out by the time we got home (still holding on to her balloon).
After such a long day, we converted the new crib into a toddler bed for Sasha. She fell in love with it and although we were worried about how she would sleep, she did fine. (it was nap time the next day that did not go well) We went in to see how she was doing around 1a.m. and before Hilary’s eyes could adjust to the dark, she found Sasha like this …
In the morning, however, she was back in her bed like normal! She is simply amazing. (the next night, though, was a little more difficult to get her to go to bed). We now have a bed rail for her bed so she won't fall out anymore. I think that gives her a little more comfort when going to bed at night.
