Nicholas' Mother's Day gift

Nicholas shared with me his carefully packaged bath ball and sugar scrub! I feel like a princess with all these gifts from the boys.

Surviving with 2 Boys - Joshy, 18 Months & Nicholas, 3 Years, 5 months

It's been over a year and a half since my last entry....sigh. I had every intentions of keeping track of Joshua's development, but the addition of a second boy has meant double the work. You quickly realize how much time you used to have when you have children! Now, there's virtually no time for anything but to survive. Joshy is now 18 months old . When I bring him to school with Nicholas, everyone marvels at how he is a replica of Nicholas. His personality is very different though - he doesn't have the serious nature of Nicholas and he is quite strong willed. He knows what he likes, and doesn't like. He has about 35 words now, so he's moved on from just "dada", which was basically his whole vocabulary at 1 years old. Current favorites: medeo means again; nooooo!; cereal; Johua (pointing at himself), purple, turtle, apple, nai nai, peck peck (after I showed him a woodpecker), elmo (whom he loves). He loves to eat, unlike Nicholas and lately we fi...

Nicholas Has Arrived - Birth Story

It's been an amazing two-week journey with the arrival of Nicholas on Dec. 5th. Every time I go to update the blog, I am called to a feeding that can sometimes last hours. Nicholas is finally in his bassinet now, giving me a few moments to give an update. First off, I'll start with the birth story! Our little Nicholas finally arrived on Saturday, Dec. 5th at 11:56 am. He was supposed to be induced on Dec. 6, which also happens to be Saint Nicholas Day, but we were able to avoid the inducement as he decided to bravely enter the world early Sat. morning. I had a hunch that he was going to come on Sat. as I had some physical signs on Friday, including the loss of my mucous plug. Cam and I enjoyed our last night out by dining at New Mee Fung where I slurped back a mango shake with tapioca balls and devoured my wrap dish. We rented a comedy for the evening - Run Fatboy Run (very funny) and then proceeded to go to bed. Before I went to bed, I called the hospital to inquire what...

Day with Nana & Yeye - April 2

Yesterday (Tuesday April 2) Nicholas and Joshua came to us for the day. Jean and Nicholas went to playgroup at 9:45 at Industrial Ave; Annik was the animator. Jean says that before circle started (10:45) she told Nicholas that Annik needed his help because the other children didn’t know the songs and he did. In the past Nicholas has been very reluctant to take part in circle time, but this time he sang every song: The more we get together Rolly polly Sleeping bunnies Old Macdonald had a farm 5 little monkeys Head & shoulders, knees and toes. He did all the actions too - the sleeping bunnies lie down, and then get up and hop-hop-hop around, and hand signals for 5-4-3-2-1 little monkeys. Jean was quite thrilled with this, and told him so! When they got home Jean made a milky jelly (strawberry flavour) as a special treat to mark the occasion. Joshua and I had been out for a push-chair walk, but had cut it short because it was...
