Let those who ride (and toddle) decide!
Notice how the boy lets LL ride the recalled toy. That thing has a design flaw that causes toddlers to flip over the handles at the least bit of lean forward.

Visiting hours
The girl, the boy, the cous - visiting An Ma. This seating actually has about 6 photo's all with different permutations of each kid looking off in a different direction.

Bye-Bye LL
See you next time. See you soon. It has to be soon because I've got your Einstein Baby video in my DVD player.

Hi, just catching up on a few of our holiday season moments as captured by my cel phone ...
This first one is from the mall where we took the kids for their Santa photo. As it turns out, we chose the same day/evening that a local (and ever increasing in numbers) group of naer-do-wells who take joy from dressing up as the elf himself filling themselves with Christmas Cheer (nudge, nudge, wink, wink ) and terrorizing local establishments. In this case, they just happened to be streaming through the mall at the same time as we were walking up to the mall-shop Santa. I would guess that there were about 80 of these fools. I suppose I would have had more humour if this did not threaten our chances of getting the boy and girl to sit still for the Santa photo.
The kids turned out to be heartier than we feared and none the worse for wear as we awaited our seating for dinner afterwards.
These are from the BNL concert that L and I went to. I hope I don't get busted for any copyright infringements, but I wanted to share the experience. This is their first number with local kids choir. J2 - if you're reading this - you would appreciate the fine detail on their embroidered collars.
This is Ed "giving 'er" to "Box Set"...
... and a more laid back Stephen, at the start of "What a Good Boy".

2006 - a rebuilding year
Hey - hope everyone had a great holiday. From scanning the other circle of blogs - it would appear so.
We kept close to home and had some good quality time - lots of sledding, some visiting and a bit of boxing day/week shopping.
This is one example of how we spent our time. After talking to jie-jie and hearing that her girl was into baking and crafts, that reminded me that we had this 3 year-old gingerbread house kit wasting shelf space. Lots of fun building and keeping the boy out of the candy dishes. It's now on it's way to a landfill where the boy can't snack on it behind our backs.

Happy Holidays
Winding down - although there are a few more presents unwrapped, but boxes not opened. Gotta ease into it - a few more days before they go back to daycare.
Busy, busy, busy.
The boy takes a quiet moment, just for himself at Uncle G and Auntie R's place on Christmas Eve.
G&R (Uncle and Auntie, not Axl and company) have two dogs that the boy just loves. Puppy. PUPPY!!!

That's gonna leave a mark
I found out that the boy, with a lego traincar, at about two paces, thrown with a full body turn ... even by a 2 year old ... can hurt.

I think she has something to say ...
The girl has moved beyond crayons and markers to "oil pastels". Walmart does not stock enough fabric-gard for what is about to ensue.
Some times, being nurturing parents is bloody (I almost typed "bloddy") hard.

Squishing your head
I am squishing your head - in the advanced, one-handed, upside down technique.
(I take so many pictures, that sometimes one gets by me.)

Rules are Rules.
Can't recall if I've used that title before and too lazy to check.
This (3rd hand) was the conversation between the girl and mom coming home from day-care on Friday.
"Mommy, I learned a new rule today"
`What was that?`
"You're not supposed to put your hair in the toilet."
`Did you put your hair in the toilet?!?`
"No, Morgan did. And we learned you're not supposed to put your whole head in the toilet either"
'Who did that?`
"Meagan did."
`Well why did they do that?!?`
"'Cuz Stephanie told them to. But I didn't do it because I know that only pee and poo is supposed to go in the toilet."
Later on - the story changed a bit, because when I asker the girl why she didn't do the same, she said "Because I know I would get in trouble."
I wonder how early someone can apply for Mensa.

Time flies
Over a week with no update ... must be the start of crazy season.
So, how the h*ll does this guy find the time to do this?

Quick update
Last week's "innocent bystander" returned to the scene of the ballet class, but for some reasons could not be persuaded to stay and join the class. (This photo was taken much later following the class.)
Meanwhile, the boy and I stayed home trying to build up both our toddler toboggan-run as well as our snow fort which, at this point, is not much more than a sad levy.

Oh yeah ...
... And the boy was crowned King of all Super Bounce Ball. All things fragile beware - your time is nigh!

No mistakin ...
The boy got a much needed haircut and was actually civil about it.
In today's local news - a fireworks store catches fire. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get my bowling ball, 'cuz there's a tugboat that needs sinking.

Girlie-girl
The girl was treated to some nail polish today.
This was as a reward, because earlier in the day at her ballet class, she and another girl collided. Her nose was bleeding and the other girl was cut on the forehead and ended up going home.
The girl stayed and finished her ballet class, and no one makes fun of her tu-tu any more.
