Happy Birthday to Nanny

Happy birthday Nanny. We love you and hope you are having a good day.

A kiss?

Desiree told me that when she picked up Calum he offered a kiss (though separated by the window) to a little girl as he was leaving. No, no, no. Those are my kisses. Enough said.

Calum has learned to say "Hey Baby" and has been saying it to the daycare staff. We can thank the girls for that one I think. He also likes "Hi girlfriend" but luckily he has save that one for home.

The girls are in Kamloops this weekend, Calum wanted to go too but we had to convince him that he was needed at home. I expect it will be a pretty quiet weekend for us. It was a pretty busy week so it will be nice to relax. Now all I need is a good book, something other than X-Men, Backyardigans, etc.

Have a good weekend all.

Cognitive Development

Calum is growing and changing so much these days. He's very aware of everything we say. I was telling Don about a guy I saw lying on the street in front of the office and Calum was listening. He was very concerned - and asked if he was OK, if he needed a doctor, if he went to the hospital. We saw a homeless person outside of the library with a shopping cart and he asked me why he had a cart and why he was outside.

I miss knowing more about what goes on at the Old DC. Calum tells me stories - "X was bad today. We had a fight." but I rarely see some of the kids now. Calum really enjoys himself though. Dakota and Desiree have been picking him up before we get home from work and he seems to have a lot of fun with them. Every day he asks "Dakota picking me up today?"

We haven't made plans yet for the weekend. We may watch our new DVDs or take a drive. Calum and Dakota want to get out and about so we'll see where we end up. Last weekend they went to the aquarium and had a lot of fun. Calum still pretends he's a Beluga.

Well Saturday morning cartoons are on and Calum wants me to watch with him. Have a good weekend!

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to Grandma Bain!

Hope you are all enjoying the long weekend. Calum and I have plans to return some library books and to go out and feed the birds. With all the wind and the rain, it promises to be a very quick trip!

November already?

I can't believe how fast October went by. Things are going entirely too quick this year. I missed posting a wish for Dad's birthday (Oct 19th) and wishing everyone a happy Halloween. We had fun. Calum went as Spidey, of course, and looked very cute. He got lots of candy and enjoyed meeting the other trick-or-treaters and people in the neighborhood. I came back from Victoria for the night and had fun. Unfortunately, he was getting a cold so we had a restless night and I was up by 4am to make the 7am ferry.

Calum (and dad) made it through his first night away from me ever. I think it was harder on me. I was staying at the Empress Hotel in Victoria, had a nice comfy bed, was dead tired, but woke every hour reaching for him. Don told me he slept through the night. I was going to take him back with me on Nov. 1st but he had a bad cough and no sleep so Don stayed home with him.

This weekend we are all resting trying to get over the cold. It looks to be a busy week ahead so hopefully we are all healthy again tomorrow.
