The Canadians lost the Spengler Cup to the Swiss today!

Die Kanadier haben den Spengler Cup gegen die Schweizer verloren!!

We went skating at an ourdoor rink today....daddy bought me this nice helmet and skates!


But there was this distracting machine nearby so daddy skated around the rink by himself.

Baby art

Here is some of my artwork from school. I had some help, but if it's crooked and full of glue streaks then I did most of it myself!

Ich han die schöne Sache sälber gmacht. Zwar hätt mer d'Lehrerin ghulfä. Deet wos Liimstreife hätt oder wänns schräg uusgseht, dänn han i's meischte sälber gmacht!

The reindeer is really clever. They traced his foot for the face, and the hands for the antlers!

Christmas Tree - Weihnachtsbaum

I just had to post these photos! Benjamin continues to love the Christmas tree. This is his second year of admiring it!

Benjamin staunt noch immer über den Weihnachtsbaum! Hier sind Photos vom letzten Jahr, und diesem Jahr.

The only difference between this year and last year is that he has learned to say I made that!

In der Zwischenzeit aber hat er gelernt zu sagen ich hab' das gemacht!

School play!

I had my first school play today. We performed the Nutcracker. I and all the toddlers were flowers. We had to wear black clothing and some colourful flower decorations, and spin and wave on the stage. Unfortunately, I was the only one who remembered to spin, and I kept spinning until a teacher stopped me! Some of the toddlers cried, but I didn't until after I got off the stage. I think I saw mommy in the audience, she was smiling and waving at me. Later on, I showed Grosmami, Nonno, Auntie Ing and Uncle John my school upstairs. Then we went home for cake!

Blow Dry!

I absolutely LOVE to blowdry my hair! As soon as we pull the plug in the tub, I start giggling and calling "bo dye". Can't wait till they plug in the blowdrier. Daddy does it like this so I can see myself in the mirror, but mommy keeps me grounded. She also uses a brush to style my hair nice.

Sobald sie dä stöpsl vo dä Badwanne usenimmt, rüef ich "bo dei" (auf Englisch blowdry), und dänn wird gföhnet! Mid em daddy däf ich vor em Spiegel stah und zueluege, aber mit dem Mami bliib ich uf em Bode und sie tuet defür mit de Bürschte mini Haar stiile.





Sleeping with my new book!

This is my new sticker book. I love it so much I have to sleep with it!

Benjamin in school

Benjamin at work in the prepared environment. The level of concentration that is so prevalant in these pictures is exactly how Dr. Maria Montessori described it in her books.
