This Girl

Amazes me with her enthusiasm, sincerity, thoughtfulness, humor...she is just so much fun!

She and S did a little performance for us again tonight. It involved Fred Penner, dancing and a lot of giggling! S had the idea and was all ready to perform on his own, but couldn't do it...so she picked right up and began to encourage him to do his act and then started herself giving him the confidence to join in. Here is a shot following their performance. :)

I'm sure I posted about R and how she is not interested in walking, but she now has those feet moving and will walk for short distances if we hold her hands. These feet will soon be pitter-pattering around the house, running in the grass and playing at school (I'm going to miss this stage).

Extending Christmas!

The same day S got his dinosaur dig in the mail we also got a game from Uncle Trevor! The kids have been practicing a steady hand with Operation. They love the game and ask everyone to play it with them. Grandpa had a quick game with T before he brought S to school this morning. Thank goodness for Gramps with the 60km/hour wind I really didn't want to take little R out on the toboggan in this weather. R is getting around despite her gross motor challenges :) She is just not interested in walking so she scored very low in her gross motor skills at her immunization. I'm certainly not concerned...she is just content to do the army crawl. She is curious and gets around, climbs into things and love playing peek-a-boo.
S has been working on his dinosaur and now has two coats of paint on it...next is the white and it should be complete!

I'm off to play Operation :) T has it all set up!

Digging for a dinosaur

S got a nice little gift from Aunt Robyn and Uncle Dave. It was a lot of fun but wow, did it ever make a mess! There were little pieces of gravel across our kitchen, into the living room and down the hall.



It has been a quiet weekend. We went out for some drinks with friends on Friday night. Did some practicing for my photography course yesterday and today it is off to see Veggie Tales. S is concerned about how noisy it is in the theater and did not want to go until we suggested ear plugs. We will see how it works! Happy Sunday.
