The Difference in a One and a Two Year Old


Driving the tractor last year and flailing herself off of it this year




Chewing the gourd last year
and carrying it this year



Last picture of the day last year
Last picture of the day this year -Back to Nana & Papa's and happy!


The only thing that made her happy this year were the goats

The title of this post was going to be "Another Pumpkin Patch" but after we went to the Sweet Berry Farms pumpkin patch on Sunday I learned more about my child's development. Last Year, Tillie and I went to this same pumpkin patch with Ashton's daycare class. As a 1 year old, Ashton loved exploring everything. At the time I was thinking oh, I wish she would just sit still and let me take a pic but she had only been walking for less than 2 months so she was on the move.

This year as a 2 year old, Ashton has fear of the most random things and tantrums. 98.9% of the time she is sooo much fun and entertaining and loveable. But on those 1.1% days, like this Sunday, she wanted absolutely nothing to do with all of the crowds at the Sweet Berry Farms. Some of her most favorite things are riding a horse and painting anything both options given to her... not on that day. So here are my pics trying to still get her "precious picture". Tillie was trying to help and humor me but Ken agreed with Little A that looking at pumpkins was dumb.

This is the most classic picture of the whole trip

Nana & Pop such troopers!
