It's super underwear boy! (he's 100% potty trained when naked, and we're just starting to try underpants.. so far, we've had mixed success, so his usual attire is a sweatshirt, socks and nothing else!)	We went to the Tunbridge fair with Rachel and family. Here's Elliott with a winning pumpkin	Hm, I'll have this ribbon!
oh, honey bees!	petting a cow while she's getting milked	Riding high (and staying out of trouble!)
Rachel has a turn!		Rachel's grandma looks on
he escaped!	a cow takes a snooze	Can ya just itch this spot riiiight here?
Aww, Elliott pets a nice baby cow	Hey, you wouldn't believe what I just heard..	a boy cow - yeah, I moved quickly after taking this picture!
Elliott escapes and wanders into the baby cow stalls	Moo, if only I could lick my bum!	Elliott's most memorable moment of the whole fair was watching the cows poop. He can't mention "cow" without mentioning "pooping" in the same sentence. Since the poop was bigger than his head, I guess it made quite an impression!
Nana pets a boy moo	Elliott pets one	Oh, horns!
Pointy!	some beautiful wool	maaaa...
Hey guys, there's cabbage over there!	baby piggies	Rachel wants one, aww Mom, they're only $65!!
co-sleeping wins again!	a beautiful goat	Yeah, and when my ears get a little longer, I'm going to fly outta here!
Elliott mimicks the goats with gusto	So excited!	baby chickens
Come over here!	Elliott pets one momentarily before it scoots away	Back at Grandma Nancy's house, we settle in for a little Rachel birthday party (13!). Here, Simon, her old and very sweet kittie, explores the loot
Elliott most graciously helps Rachel open her presents	Grandma Nancy and Simon	Grandpa George becomes Elliott's best buddy by sharing jelly beans with him
OOh, I'll have that one!	What are these darn matches made of, paper?! oh, yeah...	finally, success!
Elliott had a great time at the fair. Nana offered to ride down with us, which was great fun for Elliott, and fun for us too. She also was a great navigator. We left the fair around 5pm or so, and Elliott almost fell asleep in the car, but Rachel and Nana were there and we decided to keep him awake, so one of us wouldn't end up stuck out in the car watching him nap instead of visiting (we didn't have a monitor or anything). He held up relatively well at Grandma Nancy's house, but as soon as we left (around 8pm) he crashed, and slept all the way through until 9am the next morning. Amazing. In general, he can't do that very often. He really needs his naps still (thank goodness!), though sometimes they can be painfully short.
Back at home.. "if I move really slowly, she won't realize I'm up here.." - "mama, I being careful!"	Elliott loves to "beed the bith"	Elliott explores the art of hiding food
no really, I ate that yellow squash	touching some mums	touching the hydrangea
oh, spider web!	Elliott touches the web gently	Later that week, we make the first apple pie of the fall...
Ahh, flour feels so nice!	"I a good helper boy, yup, mhm!"	Apples, yum!
Helping Dad mow the lawn	hauling things around in his wheel barrow	It's finally time to give up on the pool for the season
No water coming out!	oh, water coming out!	I all wet!
a flock of wild turkeys wandered through our yard!	unfortunately, I scared them away with the camera and only got these lousy pictures. Oh well. Trust me, they were ugly. :-)
