Autographs Of People I Care About

As I was decluttering, I found this tucked into the bottom of one of the boxes. It's so adorable...I'll try to scan some of the pages and post them over there some time soon.

First Hair Cut

271110
We decided it was time to get J's crazy hair tidied up a bit...she had a great time with Janita and smiled through pretty much the whole thing. It probably helped that there was a candy cane waiting for her when she finished!

Sanity Savers

261110
These two DVDs are what gets us through the time between getting home and dinner being ready. J watches just the songs in The Sound of Music and she calls it "the singing lady." Raffi, well, she just loves him and his tuitar (yes, I know it should be a g, not a t)

I Think She Likes It

251110
J played with play dough for quite a while before dinner...and wore her new toque.

J's New Toque

241110
It's cold. J's toque is too small for her. So, tonight I made her a new toque. I'm not as fast as I used to be...this took 3-4 hours...I used to be able to make this particular pattern in about 2.5 hours. Oh well, it looks warm and cozy and lovely...I want one. Too bad that's the end of the wool!

Brrrr...

It's so cold...look at the FROST on J's window!

Bed Time Blur


J was in a bit of a crazy mood at bed time tonight. You can't really tell, but she's getting ready for stories on our bed...and moving very quickly!

Snow!

201110
J doesn't remember seeing snow before...I don't think we had any last year and her first winter, she was too little. She loved it!

Story Time For Callie

191110
J figured baby Callie needed a bedtime Baby Beluga before she went home, so J got out her book and sang to her.

Very cute!

Shaker

One of the little girls at daycare had a birthday this week and she brought little shakers for all of the other kids. J loves hers.

Orange Peel Disposal

161110
J has been eating "little oranges," mini mandarins. Their skin is soft enough that she can peel them herself. She had one in the back seat on the way home tonight with a container for the peels. Apparently peels are better on the window sill of the car than in their container!

Arthur Came Back!

151110
J was ever so excited to see that Arthur came back tonight for dinner again. They leave for home in a couple of days and this is the last time we'll see them. J tried to read to him in English, but he wasn't interested...hmmmm...

When Bloggers Meet

141110
Stacey and I met AndreaClaire today at Granville Island. Apparently I was playing with my phone a little too much...this is one of two gorgeous pictures I have of our get together. This is the better one.

Crayon Candle Snake

131110
J likes to line these crayons up and pretend she's blowing out the candles on a cake...today she told me the candles were a snake!

That Time Of Year

121110
I stopped to get a coffee and a little treat on my way to work this morning...seems Remembrance Day is over and it's now Christmas time at the coffee shop!

J's Poppy

111110
We spent part of the morning watching the Remembrance Day celebrations. J was quite intrigued by the whole thing and drew this poppy.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Just as it was time to go out the door to daycare and work, J decided she really needed to sing us a special rendition of Twinkle Twinkle!

Clock Tower

I had a lunch meeting today and it was a beautiful day and lovely walk...look at the clock tower!

Mon Artiste!

071110
We've got some huge paper taped to the floor in our living room (yes, we most certainly have a toddler) and J loves lying on it and colouring. When it's full she asked for it to be turned over, so she can decorate the back.

A Present For You Daddy!

061110
J is really starting to understand the concept of privacy and closed doors. Alex was in our bedroom and she really wanted to share with him, so, because he had gone in the bedroom and closed the door, she tried to share under the door with him!

Rabbit's Happy Day

J got this from our Danish visitors. She loves it! The pages all have sparkles and it's about BUNNIES!

Sharing With Arthur

041110
Kelsey's friends are here from Denmark with their 10 month old and J is in heaven. They don't speak the same language, but they're still having a great time playing together...or rather, he's loving playing with J's toys and she's loving trying to tell him what to do with those toys!

Let Me In!

031110
I've mentioned before how much J likes going to daycare. She usually runs up the path to this gate and tries to open it herself...

Ready For Daycare

011110
J still loves going to daycare...this grinning face is what I usually see in the back seat in the morning (not always in the afternoon though...she sometimes wants to stay forever!)
