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.



the back of the costume.With "mickey mouse"


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?

Krolls Farm

Last weekend we went to a farm with our neighbors, who also have a toddler named Payton.


Payton and Payton loved all the animals that you could pet at the farm. Above, they are looking at baby chickens. In below's video, they are still looking at the baby chickens. Our Payton, I believe, is trying to mimic chicken sounds.

Dancing to Music

Payton loves to listen to music (just like daddy) and dance (unlike daddy). This was taken right before our move to Illinois.
