Snugglebug enjoyed the pumpkins immensely. He has been learning the word pumpkin in sign language and by the time we went to the pumpkin patch, he was signing it quite well. He was almost chanting in sign language, "pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin."
The hay maze was a favorite of Snugglebug. He ran through the maze and then climbed on the hay bales. This was his first attempt at climbin
Climbing on the hay bales is a big deal for this texture sensitive child. The first time he touched the hay he drew back his hands and rubbed them on his shirt. The second time he tried just touching the hay with his knuckles. Still not good. He gave up and continued running through the maze but the desire to climb overcame his texture issues, and he succeeded in climbing the hay bale. That was only the beginning. There wasn't a hay bale that he didn't climb after that.
There were hay bales everywhere with pumpkins of all sizes piled on them and around them. The kids could climb all over the hay and the pumpkins. No rules about looking but not touching.
My favorite pic of the day. He chose this pose himself.
"I'll have pumpkin, please." Sitting in the chair was his idea, but he wanted the chair the girl in pink was sitting in.
My sweet baby boy and I.

Thanks, Liz. I appreciate the compliment. Hugs to you as well!
What great pictures! I laughed when you talked about the texture thing. That totally takes me back to toddler Jackson days. I hope the perfect pumpkin was located and is now sitting proudly on your porch! :)
Jennie, actually, there were NO pumpkins for sale. Isn't that funny? We'll have to resort to one from the grocery store....OR visit another pumpkin patch. One can never visit too many pumpkin patches.
