Well, nothing has changed much on the pumpkin carving front in the last year. Ainsley is still not willing to dig in. This year she did take a hold of the spoon and make an effort at some scoops in cleaning out the pumpkin.
Then Ainsley decided that the pumpkin smelled funny. This has been her new thing lately, "Mom, I smell something pewy." And once, I hear that it's all over. She's usually right, and often it's Andrew. But you know there was no cleaning out the pumpkin after that statement. Dad, was called in for the remainder of the clean out.
Andrew was completely unsure of the whole pumpkin thing. He looked inside it, didn't even make an attempt to touch it, and when I helped he remained unfazed. Admittedly, I was disappointed.
Perhaps next year will get more of a reaction out of him. Right now, he is just content with his thumb and his lambie.
She was definitely into the carving portion more this year. We purchased a new pumpkin carving knife but she's still not quite strong enough to do it without some assistance. She still loves to yank out the carved pieces though. This year, no toothpick necessary!
Our girl is a puzzle fanatic. Have I mentioned we are up to 300 piece puzzles with her. She can really get going if the puzzle has discernible colors. So it was no surprise that she loved fitting the pumpkin top back on. "Mom, it's like a puzzle!"
