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.

Tired - Müed

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!

Cardinal on my sunflower

He came with the wife, right in front of our window!

Wife is picture-shy.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Swiss Carrot Cake with candles and decaf tea!

Silly faces - herum albern

Fall has arrived - es ist Herbst geworden

Aren't I stylish with my new fall clothes!

My many expressions

I'm 18 months now, my hair is too long, and some of the pictures are fuzzy...

Montessori Prepared Environment

This is what the classrooms are called in a Montessori School. There is lots of natural light, and lots of toys and items made with materials taken directly from the natural environment (lots of wood, very little plastic). I like the orderly way every item has been placed in a strategic location that is reachable by even the smallest child.

This classroom was designed with toddlers (up to 3 years) in mind. There is also another classroom that toddlers use, the drop-off location, which looks more like a gymnasium. It has pushtoys, balls, tents, mats and little gyms for climbing.

My first day at school!

Tuesday, September 5 was my first day of school! I only stayed there for the morning, but it was long enough...I didn't cry at drop-off, and I had fun, but I did cry with relief when they came to pick me up!

Mein erster Schultag war am Dienstag den 5. September. Zwar gehe ich nur morgens, aber es scheint mir lange genug...Wenn sie mich hinbringen habe ich viel zu tun, und es gefällt mir eigentlich recht gut. Wenn sie mich dann wieder abholen bin ich so erleichtert dass ich halt trotzdem weinen muss!
