I'm a little behind on getting up our September post, I know! We've been getting back into our school year schedule of playdates, library events, and more. Luckily the weather was nice a lot during this past month, so we spent a lot of time outdoors.
We went to several playgrounds.
Climbing all over the fire truck with friends
Attempting the rope bridge (successful on the way up, but needed some help on the way down)
Spinning the steering wheel
Whee!
Pushing the merry-go-round
One of the playgrounds was new to us, but we're definitely going back because it offered some different things (plus lots of shade and places to sit).
Dig digs in the giant sandbox
Bouncy ride-on dinosaurs
Neigh neigh!
Playing trucks with a buddy
We went to a storybook walk sponsored by our library.
Reading the book (photo courtesy of the library)
Trying to read and keep an eye on what everyone else is doing
Puppets!
We went over to several friends' houses for playdates

Sidewalk construction plus pumpkin cupcakes made for one successful playgroup.
Whee down the slide at a buddy's house

Trying to give his friend a hug
The monthly open gym we attended a lot last year has resumed.
Matt tried to claim the train for himself.
Matt still loves cars and trucks, especially construction vehicles and fire trucks.

With his blue car at home
And he'll play with any train set, especially ones that "hook" together.
At the library, building his own set of tracks
At the children's museum (yes, he put that very long train together pretty much all by himself)
At a friend's house
Matt still loves reading.
Reading to himself on the couch
And he still likes his puzzles and easel.

Doing a little painting
Winnie the Pooh has been his fairly constant companion this past month.

Playing catch with Dada
Hmm, I could have sworn I had a basket of freshly picked tomatoes around here somewhere.
Sitting with his favorite stick
Playing with his favorite stick, looking like he's trying to disperse the rain clouds with a wizard's staff
Playing with the cat
Blowing bubbles and watching airplanes (yes, his sweatshirt is on backwards, but he put it on himself)
