payton was shy at first, but then really warmed up to the Yu's, who visited us recently. it was great seeing you all, thanks for everything!

Picky Eater

Can you guess Payton's favorite food?








Two of his favorites has to be...pickles and olives. Yeah, strange. In fact, we use his weakness for them to our advantage. He generally dislikes meat, which his superpower sense allows him to detect despite Roberta's best attempt to disguise and bury it in a spoonful of food. Yet, we can coax him to eat the occasional cheeseburger or chicken strips by bribing him with pickles.

One more pickle anecdote...It is likely that Payton discovered his affinity for pickles and olives from sharing our Subway sandwiches. Now, anytime Payton smells a Subway store (there is one in a Walmart that we frequent), something triggers in his big head and he immediately begins his repeated demands for...pickles.

Trick or Treat

Payton's first trick or treating experience. He was Eeyore. Note the chocolate stains around his mouth. We had to bribe him with M&M's to get him to wear his costume.

favorite part of the evening, looking at a dog.


It was unseasonably warm, poor payton was sooo hot in his costume...
Running home, because he really didn't get the idea of trick or treating and was even a little scared of taking candy from our neighbors... oh well, maybe he will have more fun next year?
