Even though many things are cancelled or different this year, we've been trying to fit in what Halloween fun we can. I can't believe it's tomorrow - Tatum is very ready to "trick or treat." Our annual chili night and Hayride to the Witches House was a success earlier this month.

Tatum is Three
Our not so little boy turned three years old last week! He has fully developed his own little personality, loves to help and do things on his own, has been doing well with at home learning (numbers, colors, letters), will be starting in school preschool soon and his favorites continue to be trains, "wee-ooo's" (firetrucks) and golf.
We had a great day celebrating - it was pouring rain outside so we had a lazy morning playing with new things, Daddy was able to join us for lunch and that evening family came over for dinner, presents, celebrating and playing - he had a blast!
I happened to have a doctor's appointment the day before so baby brother even sent him a special message for the big day.

Third Birthday Wishlist
Tatum will be three tomorrow - this year (and past three have flown by). He's at a very fun age for playing and despite a few toys we got to stay entertained during quarantine, hasn't gotten many recently and definitely is ready to jump from toddler toys to things a little bit older. His two favorites are golf and trains so a train set and real golf clubs are high up on his list plus accessories for each. He loves building, puzzles and anything he can do with his hands/on his own. We're finally getting into the age of board games too which will be fun for all three of us.

This & That: October Fun
This month is already flying by - on the first of October each year, we have a basket ready for Tatum with some fun things for the months - a couple holiday books to add to his collection, festive pajamas, crafts/activities to work on.
We got started on the activities right away, I usually keep them all in a bin and we grab out a few each week plus holiday coloring, Pinterest crafts, baking, etc.Tuesday, October 6, 2020
This & That: Start of Fall
This season has brought on a nice schedule for us after quarantine and a lazy summer. Hopefully soon Tatum will be back in person at school but for now at least a little bit of structure including soccer on the weekends...

First Trimester
At this point the first trimester feels like forever ago, in a few weeks I'll be into the 3rd trimester. Luckily, similar to with Tatum, I had a super easy early weeks of pregnancy. The worst thing was being totally exhausted, even more so than when I was pregnant with him. Luckily he still naps and being right at the end of quarantine, I was able to nap most days too and early to bed.
I had some other occasional very mild symptoms, barely any sickness, a few morning headaches, crazy dreams. My doctor appointments went well, again being that it was right towards the end of quarantine in late May, I was able to go into the office like normal just with a mask, temperature check, alone, etc.
Around 11 weeks we really started telling family and friends and continued sharing the news for the next few weeks into the second trimester as well.
