Ethan Wayne and the Great Pumpkin

I should start off by saying i am an awful mom! i waited until the last minute to go get a pumpkin. walmart didnt have any more so we went late saturday night to smiths. matt stayed in the car with ethan and i ran in... when i got to the produce section my heart dropped when i saw that all the pumpkins were gone. i walked to the front of the store in tears. what kind of mom doesnt get her kid a pumpkin for his first halloween? as i was walking out of the store i noticed 2 tiny pumpkins with painted faces. they were on managers special and i was on cloud 9! i was so excited and snatched one of them up! it was the perfect size for my little guy! i washed off the paint and helped him carve it! and boy am i glad i did!
Ethan enjoyed following the big orange ball with his eyes. i know its good for his brain to touch different textures and so i helped him explore all the surfaces of the pumpkin.
he was a little bit wary of the pumpkin goo at first

we put him in his bumbo chair and put the goop on the tray while i carved the pumpkin face. it only took him a second to figure out that the pumpkin goop was fun! he played for about 25 minutes and only tried to eat it twice!



he was so amazed with the finished product. ethan loves light and the pumpkin had his attention!




i cant wait till next year!
