Kate has reached the stage of not wanting to have an afternoon sleep. She also fights going to sleep at night. If we try putting her back in bed she just gets right out again. So we just have to leave her until she falls asleep. She has been falling asleep at her doorway beside her gate. Her little bum up in the air is too cute!

 

Andrew and Kate have enjoyed watching cartoons together a few times lately.

Pretty clever for 21 months old!

Dinner Conversations

Picture Taking

This is what you get when you are trying to take pictures of a 3 year old and a 1 1/2 year old!

Never Say Never

I said I would never drive a mini van...well technically it is a people carrier, or a seven seater. It is a 2006 Vauxhall Zafira. Andrew is thrilled with his blue car because it is the same colour as his best friend's car. According to him, she has a big blue car and we have a small blue car :)

Dressing Up and Creating Things

Kate, with a firefighter hat and princess handbag, talking on a mobile phone. Guess we need to work on her sense of style!

Pirate Andrew

Reading a book

We made Andrew a scooter out of cardboard and paper towel rolls. See him in action on the video below.

Other Summer Events

Going for a walk/bike ride on a beautiful summer day.


Sharing the rocking horse

He's having fun, she's annoyed.

Poor boy was so tired he fell asleep before Daddy finished the bedtime story.

We took Kate's crib down and she is now sleeping in a big bed. Seems a shame for a perfectly good crib to be unused. Hmmmm.

Summer Fun

Ok, so it has been forever since I've posted. I lead a busy life you know!! Here is what we have been up to.
The many faces of Kate while eating ice cream.



Andrew can't get enough ice cream this summer.

Kate trying to dress herself



Kate loves hats, or anything she can try to make into a hat.

Andrew is very creative when building with his Legos. He quickly discovered that if he stands on a stool he can build bigger towers.


Daddy surprised Andrew one day by building a tower that was as tall as the ceiling.
