In the car


I love conversations in the car. Here's what came out today. PS, I do think he knows Dora isn't real!! ;)

Daniel: Dora is only 7 and she leaves her mum for ages and goes on adventures around the world!
Mum: Do you want to do that?
D: No... I'd get lost.

D and L then discuss at length about what age they will do that.
They've decided on 20.
And I'm happy with that.

Missing them!

It's been a few weeks now since my parents have gone, and I miss them! No Mom and Dad, it didn't take me this long to miss you... just looking at pictures tonight and missing you again. 
-----
The beautiful view at the farm stay we spent three nights at.

Riding the ski lift up the mountain.
Hey Dad, don't miss the view!

The view down. It doesn't like a huge drop from my feet but it was!

 "Thanks, but I'll stay up here and wave at you!"

 Riding down. No snow, but it was still a beautiful sight.

A relaxing day by the lake. 

...and another foot shot. I think I have some attachment to feeling relaxed 
by taking a picture of myself relaxing. Perhaps I need to see someone about that...

A walk on the beach at one of our favourite places.  

M & D, thank you for coming all the way down here, for taking your vacation time to cross that ocean, and for putting up with swollen feet and jetlag to come here and do daily life with us. Love you.

Colours


So sometimes 2-year olds have their colours down pat. Nick, not so much. Sometimes I think so, sometimes no...

D and L have been playing "Bingo" in the car, where you call out 'Bingo!' for every yellow car. So now Nick is calling the colour yellow 'bingo'.

Bring into play his sense of humour, and it'll be awhile till I know if he gets his colours!

Mum: What's that colour Nick?
Nick: Red
M: Yup, and this one?
N: ...umm... Apple Crumble?
M: Really?!!
N: no, orange!

Yay, a normally developing 2 year old. :)
