Sniffle Cough Cough!!

Well just as I thought my son and I were over a cold, I get waken up to my little one coughing in the middle of the night and me waking up to a sore throat. Sigh, here we go again.

Keeping my fingers crossed that this doesn't last long as I need to fly across Canada with my family in two weeks and getting the H1N1 virus shot on Nov 9th.

Oh well what can you do.

Inuit Language

I have always loved the Native language or anything else in this area. I have been to a few Pow Wows and have enjoyed them all.

Recently I have been looking on the Internet to learn some Inuit words.

I have learned two words so far and now my son is learning them too.

For polar bear -- nanook

for mommy--- aga or aamam

The Arts

My son who is two and a couple of months has just really gotten into colouring and painting. He himself will ask me for paper and crayons to colour with.

Than at day care he loves to play in the house area playing the daddy with a baby doll in his arms.

These are the special moments to watch before he is interested in doing dare devil things and I hate to think what that is for him when and if that time comes.

The two pics that I have are from awhile ago but you get the picture of him painting and what his pictures look like.

For My Little Boy

I had found this video on you tube one day shortly after our little guy came to live with us.

I wanted to find something that would relate to him.

I just find it beautiful. I hope that I can learn this song enough to teach my little guy the words so he can say he know one song in his language.

But its just beautiful. Whenever I play it for my son he comes to me right away at the computer and watches the video with his little head rested on my lap.

Seeing Snow Flakes

When I was walking home yesterday with my son, I saw snow flakes. WOW

Snow flakes in October. They say we are getting snow at the end of October. Is this the year we have snow for Trick or Treating?

Man, if so I am not sure if my son's costume will fit him with all the layers he will need to stay warm if there is snow.

Oh well I will have to do my best if there is snow.

Winter Jackets or Winter Vests?

Winter Jackets or Winter Vests? This is a hard chose to make. My little guy sweats a lot and it's hard to know how to dress him for the weather.

It seems no matter what I put him in he sweats a lot. Now with the weather getting colder it makes it that much harder to know how to dress my little guy.

Has anybody gone through this and can give me ideas on how to dress a two year old who sweats no matter what he is wearing?

Thanks Giving Weekend

Well another holiday that has come and gone for another year.

During this holiday I took my little guy to the park. He can do so much there. I remeber at the beginning of sping he was not yet able to do half of the stuff there and now he can.

Here are some pics of what he does at the park.

Life passes by so quickly

It really is lots of fun to watch a child grow up.

It seems just yesterday that my son was just a year old.

Now he is two he can do so many things on his own or tries to do on his own.

It seems that everyday he does something new that surprises me.

We were at the park the other day he was so engaged with another little girl playing ball. They were passing the ball back and forth without fighting over the ball.

He will be two and half in Dec and he language is really picking up. He says new words almost everyday that catches me of guard. I was teaching him sign language and he always signed the word milk. Now he is saying the word milk as he signs it at the same time.

I find if we don't pay attention to little things that our little ones are doing there is so much that we can miss. I try to watch what he does or say so I can catch those first precious moments.

Cold and Flu Season

I just love the cold and flu season.

Now I am back at day care and my son is in day care the chances of us catching a cold or flu are higher.

My son has been coughing since last Wednesday. All due to two things. 1- a parent who brought there child into the day care when she was sick and gave her medicine at home to mask it. 2- my son went apple picking last Wednesday where it rain on them and it was cold.

He has been coughing, sneezing, a fever, and today he just started a running nose.

Now mommy is getting sick with a sore throat.

Oh well, I guess there is nothing I can do but tough it out.

Two already

My little man has turned two years old this summer.

Time really does fly by.

He is into anything and everything.

He loves to dance, jump, go to the park, and do everything that a little boys love to do.

We are learning how to use the potty and we are doing good, I guess. He uses the potty sometimes and sometimes he doesn't feel like it.

We are back to our swim classes every Saturday morning. It seems no matter how much time in between the classes he doesn't forget what he learned from the last class.

For Halloween this year he will be a Lion. If you were here last year he was a cute little bunny.
