In no particular order........here are some of the things that we have done in the last few months. I don't have a working camera right now, so I depend on my iPhone. And it is only a 4, so the pictures are okay, but certainly not as good as my camera would take. It doesn't really feel like I am all that newsworthy right now, but the children who I love are still very special! The one nice thing about toddlers is that they tend to sleep in the afternoon. And for the last couple of months, I have been pretty lucky about getting them all down at the same time.......it leaves me some quiet afternoons with one or two older ones. I have learned to really value my quiet time! Jade had lots of fun with the stuffies and the Duplo blocks one afternoon.
Yes, I live in the country. My house is only two blocks from the farms and greenbelt, and so when the little horses were practicing drills outside my house one day, it made for great entertainment for a 1, 2 and 3 year old.
Grandson and Sweetheart went to Vancouver on Easter Monday to visit a friend who had had a new baby. Grandson LOVES babies!
Two 2-year olds enjoying one of our beautiful Spring afternoons. I have the perfect cul-de-sac for riding bikes, and the children and I spend a lot of time out there.
Two little princesses playing Dress-up at one of our Monday Family Dinner Nights.
We all love the Manners game. We play a lot of games at Daycare.
The children all love MyGym. This is my busy boy. My very, very busy 20 month old boy. I love that I got him to sit for longer than 2 seconds.
Sweetheart noticed that it was going to be Circle Time before the instructor called all of the other children over. She was very intrigued by the turtle puppet and lucked into some one on one time, before all of her friends came running over to join her.
This was the last baseball game of the season. They are lined up to do the Dragon race around the bases at the end.......truly the highlight of their whole evening! And did I ever mention that SIL was the coach? He is an excellent baseball coach and did magnificently, especially considering it was his very first time and these were 4, 5 and 6 year olds. Not always the best listeners, but they sure learned a lot in 3 months......a true credit to their coach.
Here is Grandson with his very first trophy. He was so, so happy and so, so proud!
The Giants and their coach on Rally Cap Saturday. It was a very fun, but short season. I can hardly wait until next year........Grandson loves baseball and I know that he will be playing again!
Saturday morning Snuggle time. She absolutely adores her big brother.....
Sweetheart came to Music with us this week and she was a very good listener. The song goes like this, "Touch your ears, and touch your nose, wiggle your arms and wiggle your toes, bend your knees and give yourself a hug, and curl up like a ladybug." She did it perfectly.
