First Day of Preschool

Josh started preschool today, I thought he needed a bit more interaction with kids his age. He was so excited to go, although he thought he was going to be able to ride on a school bus and was quite upset that I was actually driving him.



The morning started off with a tasty breakfast and Josh was bursting at the seams with excitement. Then it was time to get dressed and head out the door.

When I dropped him off there were lots of tears, but the teacher said that he was fine once I was out of sight. He had a great time and was so excited when I picked him up! I admit it was nice to come home and spend some time with one child and then do a bit of cleaning while she napped!

A walk in the snow with Daddy

Chris took Joshua out for a walk on New Years Day, December was quite cold here so we weren't able to enjoy much time outside, even on this day Joshua was very bundled up and by the time they got home we was quite cold and wanted to come inside. The good thing about this cold is that the pond in our neighborhood was frozen so they were able to treck across it.

Things Joshua says

A few of funny things Joshua has said tonight.

When Chris walked into the room and said to Josh "Hey J-man" Josh says "I not J-man I Joshua" he also says the same thing when we call him Dude!

Whenever we give Joshua things like a banana or his all time favourite fruit bar, we always take the wrapper off and tell him it is garbage and we throw it away. Tonight Joshua asked for a banana and as I was peeling he started yelling "no mommy leave in garbage" he wanted me to leave the peel on!

I came downstairs to Josh making a loud screeching noise and he said "mommy, I'm whistling"

Welcome!

Welcome to our new, more accurately named blog for our two wonderful children, Joshua and Abigail!

AAL Day 3

Today we set up the mini Christmas Tree. Chris and I bought this little tree when we were living in our first apartment, about 5 years ago. Once we bought our big tree we thought this little one would be perfect for the kids to decorate themselves every year. Josh was so excited to see the lights on and loved hanging all of the miniature balls by himself.

AAL Day 2

Today we made a paper wreath by tracing Joshua's hand's, cutting them out and glue them to a cardboard ring. Josh giggled the entire time I was tracing his hand and when I cut them out and placed them on the table he would count how many were on the table.




He was so proud of his creation that he insisted on taking it with him for his nap, I managed to convince him to put it on his headboard so it wouldn't get wrecked so it came out fine. Unfortunately it did get a bit crumpled when he was sitting under layers of blankets while watching his "paborite moomie" (favourite movie) before bed.

Advent Activity List Day 1

Today was the first day of our Advent Activity and our activity for today was to hang the wreath on the front door! When ever we walk by the front door now Josh says, "I hang reaf on door!".

Oh goodness, I look horrendus and Josh isn't even looking at the camera. Oh well!
