Thanks to Nonni and Sarah for the cute Thanksgiving outfits!

San Diego and Sea World

When we went to Sea World for Gus’ birthday we got these fun day passes that allow us to go as often as we want before Dec 31, 2012.  So Gus and I took advantage of them and went last Monday.  We went down on Sunday afternoon, played at the beach and stayed at Aunt Colleen’s house.  Gus thought that was pretty cool!  On Monday we went to Sea World.  We did the usually stuff like seeing the dolphins and Shamu, but the high light for Gus was touching a baby alligator.  He is in an alligator “phase” right now and they are his favorite animals.  His little eyes got so big when he saw it and then the lady let him touch it.  It was very cool.  His second favorite animal that day was the water monitor, which he thought was related to the alligator except it was yellow.  I tried to explain to him the difference but he kept saying, “Actually Mom, they are the same animal just different colors.”  I don’t know where he gets his stubbornness.  It must be the Peterson side.

This water monitor was very interesting to Gus

Halloween 2012

This year for Halloween Gus wanted to be a flat bed truck.  However, he needed a new pair of rain boots and he remembered ones we had seen in July that looked like fireman boots.  So I talked him into being a fireman.  The boots had a matching raincoat, which he also needed.  His personal shopper (Nonni) got right on it and sent us the set.  I then got online and found a hat that lit up and had a siren.  I also found a backpack that looked like two fire extinguisher that you could fill with water and spray it out on “fires”.  Gus thought that was pretty cool.  He put out pretend fires all along the parade route.  Mom also found a little sleeper for Marlin that had fire trucks all over it.
