My "Bumbin"(Pumpkin)

Dalby LOVES pumpkins. She figured out how to say pumpkin("bumpin") around the time the Halloween decorations starting coming out and she can't get enough of seeing pumpkins. We count the pumpkins at the grocery store, we watch the inflatable pumpkins(that are advertising candy) at the grocery store, we see them on our walks, car rides, tv....she can spot a pumpkin from a mile away. And once she does she says, "bumbin, bumbin, bumbin..." until you acknowledge that you saw the pumpkin too. Dalby has now also sort of figured out that a pumpkin doesn't have to have to be a jack-o-lantern to be a pumpkin so we are spotting a ton more. Ryan and I got her a plastic pumpkin that she carries around the house like it is her purse. All of this has really made Halloween so much fun. I am thinking of leaving a few pumpkins out until Thanksgiving...and who knows maybe until Christmas. Today we went and got a pumpkin and she was so proud of her pumpkin. It sat on the car seat next to her on the way home and then she sat next to it on the front step. The joy of running in a big circle... I have to make sure I get all of the grass off my hands after I fall...yuck!Please swing me daddy!
