Moroni's first pumpkin

Moroni has developed an obsession with pumpkins this year. Every time he sees pumpkins he gets all excited and has to go look at them.

We went to the store last week and he ran up to the pumpkins and picked one up that was almost as big as him and attempted to carry it over to the cart. His determination was so cute that I bought the pumpkin for him. Ever since he has carried and pushed it all around the apartment. Last night we decided we should carve it so it would be done for Halloween. Ty cut the top off the pumpkin and Moroni absolutely lost it because the pumpkin was "broken".

We have posted the video so you can see his reaction. I will try to get a picture of him in his costume tonight so you can see how cute he is.

Moroni and teeth; bad combo.

A couple of weeks ago I had a dream that the nursery had a wall of recognitions. In the "naughty" spot was Moroni's picture. Ok, so maybe it wasn't a dream more like a nightmare.

Today as soon as Relief Society was over I rushed in to get him (I just missed him so much). As soon as I entered the room both nursery teachers immediately noticed me. One of the nursery teachers put the child she was carrying down and started heading in my direction. "Oh, No", I thought "this is it, he made the "naughty wall". I immediately felt horrible for whatever he had done, relieved only that the windows weren't broken and there were no reports of ambulances during class.

Ok - so I may have gotten carried away. It turns out he was bit by one of the other kids and had a good mark left on his hand. I smiled and I think I even laughed a little bit in relief. I simply said, "Great, I would rather have him bitten than doing the biting." One of the other mothers laughed at my relief of having my child abbused during nursery. I said something to the extent that it can be expected with kids this age and brushed it off. Funny how if someone elses child does something it was no big deal, but I am horrified at the idea of my kid doing it.
