So, Noah's pretty much had it with the highchair. This came a lot sooner than I expected, but since he refuses to eat in it half the time, we had to do something. My friend Jennifer loves the Cooshie Classic booster seat by BabySmart, so I thought we would try it out.

So far, Noah loves it. Can you tell?

On Saturday we went to the Pumpkin Patch at Bill Gates Ranch up in Celina. They have goats, cows and sheep that you can feed, but I wouldn't recommend it with a 1 year old who wants to touch everything and then put his hands in his mouth. Thank god for baby wipes and hand sanitizer. Unfortunately, we didn't get any good 'pumpkin patch' pictures because Noah is completely uninterested in looking at the camera. Ever. But we had a good time and managed to get out of there before it got too busy or too hot. :)

Today Noah walked through sprinklers for the first time. It wasn't a planned event, of course. We walked to the pond to feed the ducks (which never happened because (1) the ducks weren't around and (2) Noah ate most of the bread on the way there; the kid loves wheat bread!), and on the way back the neighbor's sprinklers were running. He walked right into them, and, as you can see, he had a blast. By the end, he was completely and totally drenched.

So, it happened. Noah was bitten at daycare on Monday. I didn't even know until I got home that night and read the "Incident Report" in his bag. I didn't really notice until then because he's pretty much covered with bumps, bruises and scrapes from playing at school and learning to walk. But, sure enough, there is a bite-shaped bruise on his arm. The teacher said that the 'offender' (who they won't divulge but was referred to as a 'she') "got him good". Gee, thanks. I still haven't decided which is worse: having your kid bitten at daycare or having a kid that bites at daycare. Anyway, here is a not-so-good picture of his poor little arm. :(
