More parade

Santa Claus parade

Went to the local Santa Claus parade with Sebastian and Madelaine, and their mommy and daddy. Got to sit in Sebastian's cool wagon and share candy canes!

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.

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.

Ready to go for a walk!

Class picture!

This is me smiling for my first class picture!


Here is my class and all my friends. The teacher on the left is the head toddler teacher, and the one in the middle speaks French to me all day. I'm not smiling in the class picture because I was confused, and later on when we took the whole school picture I was wailing as loud as all the other toddlers....luckily I never got to see that picture.

Pipi in the potty!

My new potty! Sometimes I pee in the toilet, but I need help climbing up there. This potty makes it a little easier to do myself. And yes, sometimes I pee in it!

But peeing in the bathwater is still more fun...

Halloween!

Not sure what's going on but I got this cool basket and a pumpkin flashlight...

Preparing for Halloween

Daddy's scary pumpkin!
Trying on Maia's old costume...

Placing decorations on the window...

Evolution

Who wants to dispute evolution? Perhaps Darwin's theory is correct after all...

After daycare pre-meltdown antics

Sometimes I'm very tired after daycare. I like to whine and carry on when we enter the house. If mommy asks me to come in and have some lunch, I drop down on the floor like a sack of potatos and have a bit of a meltdown. But when mommy picks me up, I give her hugs and kisses and all is well again.

Thanksgiving at the cottage

The bigger house is the cottage, the smaller one the garage.
Although I'm all bundled up here, the weather was warm and sunny the entire weekend!

At the cottage

Cosmo and uncle Kevin are playing with me.

Fall colours

Canadian forest in the fall...so beautiful and peaceful.

Trucks and diggers

Uncle Kevin's friends have construction equipment!

Fire in the pit!

The nightly fire helped calm me down while I was sick with a head cold and relaxed me enough to put me right to sleep!

Eating at the cottage

Auntie Brig and daddy are feeding me!

ATV with uncle Kevin

Uncle Kevin is the fun uncle...he's got this cool ATV!
