Tyler, Pumpkin Patch & Halloween

We had a nice Halloween this year (well, the dog would seriously disagree but I digress).

Maelle went as a baby dragon - adorable - and Loic went as Batman!  He said Batman doesn't smile in photos.  We started at my parents' house and then my mom and I walked with the kids up to Dave and Linda's.  A fun night for us all.  Well, not Rob - he stayed home with the terrified dogs.  Why do people feel the need to blow up sticks of dynamite on Halloween?  I will never understand it.

She spent a lot of the night asking us for Chocolate

Batman is very serious about photos :)

We are almost at the 4 week point with Tyler's recovery.
We have now done 3 acupuncture sessions and have our 4th and last session tomorrow.  Tyler has improved enough to go to rehab and we went to our first session this week.  Tyler did an awesome job!  The sessions are an hour long at Canada West with two rehab technicians.  They did some laser therapy, some exercises (that we do at home 3 times a day) and Tyler learned how to go into the underwater treadmill contraption.  They gave him a lot of cookies so he was game to play along.

"I am in a giant glass box full of water but there are COOKIES!!"

Tyler is not in any pain anymore, but, he has to relearn how to use his hind end properly.  The goal of rehab is to teach him how to walk properly so that he has less of a chance of re-injuring himself.  Rob still has to carry him up and down the stairs and I use a sling; he can do the stairs but the worry is that he will slip and re-injure his back.    We have 5 more sessions planned and then we will see how he is doing.

We went to our annual Pumpkin Patch visit last weekend!  It was as awesome as always.  This was our 5th year going!!

How did he get so grown up all of a sudden?

The best of many photo attempts....

She spent a lot of time climbing over and under these ropes!

So much cute and so much naughty in one tiny person!!
