Trip to hardware store





Grandpa Bob thought it was time to show Maxwell his very favorite hardware store, Marine Hardware in Anacortes. Maxwell's favorite thing in the store was the large yellow rope. Maxwell did a great job visiting with the store clerk. After visiting with Max, the clerk said Max would do great in school.

Big changes!



There have been a few big changes around our house these past couple of weeks. Maddy started daycare last week, she cried for about 2 hours, did ok playing outside, then during the afternoon apparently spent much of the time standing by the door holding her bag, anxiously awaiting daddy! She went again yesterday and apparently things went much better :-)


Then yesterday was Halloween, and boy did the kids score! Max was a bat, and Maddy was a puppy (see above), and we stayed in our neighborhood and there were TONS of kids here. They had a great time and Max was busy sorting his candy for most of last night and this morning.


Now for the most exciting change...Maddy went poop on the potty today!!!!! We were sitting at the dinner table and she got a funny look on her face, looked at me and said, "poop," then grunted a little. I pulled her out of her seat, expecting the job to already be done, but realized she hadn't gone, we both went to her potty and she sat down, grunted, and there was the poop! We all had a fun little victory dance for her in the living room, and she was really excited! Not to shabby for a 17 1/2 month old!
