Random summer thoughts



The summer has been busy and I have just had enough time to document some summer happenings. I still haven't had a chance to filter through all our photos (going to back to March I think, eek). Plan to start that soon.

Some random thoughts...

Callum sleeps with teddy stuffed up the front of his pajama top sometimes.

Lucas's words: cracker, all done, no, car, ball, nana, mama, dada, bath, spoon,
Lucas's sounds: quack, woof, oink, dinosaur roar

Lucas copies Callum all the time. This morning, Callum wanted to wear his fall raincoat even though it was warm and sunny. Lucas then insisted on getting his coat on! He has been watching Callum use the toilet and sometimes he will go into the bathroom, lift the lid of the toilet, pull down his pants and diaper a little bit, pull up his shirt and stand there, then when he thinks he's done he puts back down the lid and walks out. So cute to watch.

Lucas turned a corner with swimming half way through our visit home. He now loves the water and will even lie on his back in the bath tub and float.

Lucas get such a kick out of trying to throw a foam frisbee.

Callum is getting pretty creative with play and his props. The other day he came to me with 2 wrist sweat bands and 2 pieces of short rope and asked me to help him make 'hand cups" (handcuffs).

We had a new babysitter come last night and the plan was for the boys to meet Olga and then put them to bed with her there and leave. Well, it turned out that Callum was content to have us leave before he went down. He was getting Olga to read stories to him. Everything went well. It's funny how I get set in my way about what he is capable of handling and then when you push what you thought was a limit, he surprises me!

Callum had a field trip to Science World to see the "Extreme Dinosaurs" exhibit. He loved it. Lucas also had a field trip to Science World and to the Stanley Park train this summer.
