Calum's 2nd Birthday
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to Calum
I can't believe you're 2!
We had a nice party yesterday at Grandma and Grandpa Bain's house. Coy, Grant and Jen were in town for the weekend so we all had a good visit and enjoyed the Spidey cake (combined for both Des and Calum). Uncle Grant helped Spidey climb the walls, Coy and Calum were measured on the wall, Buddy and Cedar were chased around the house and we all had pizza and cake. Calum wanted to blow out his candles twice so we all had to sing and cheer again. We let him open his presents yesterday (lots of Spiderman stuff) and had a tough time getting him settled down for bed.

Nan called early this morning and wished him a happy birthday then he was off and playing again. We went out for breakfast but Calum wanted to ride the escalators at the mall and visit the animals at the pet store instead. He was busy trying to blow up some balloons and playing with the boxes from his presents this afternoon and we finally got him down for a nap.
I'm sure Calum would agree that it was a very good birthday.

Lookout, here comes Spiderman
We've been trying to teach Calum how to pretend to shoot webs from his hands like Spiderman because the shape of the hand is almost like the ASL sign for "I love you". He's really taken to it and goes around saying "Peww....peww" as he slings his web. Yesterday, one of the day care workers from the infant side spent some time around him and the first question she asked me when I went to pick him up was "What is he doing?" Calum helped explain by pointing to his Spiderman socks and saying "Spidey". What a funny boy.
I swear he also wrote the letter "e" last night too. Unfortunately, he's inherited our inability to spell as the "e" was for "Dakota". He has one of those little magnetic sketch boards and he wants you to tell him what to draw. You say, "draw dad" and he replies "yep" and makes a little scribble for dad. He will fill the board up and can point out each one to you if you ask things like "where's dad" or "show me Bazooka" (an excellent memory). He also has sounds he uses for letters "e i o" and draws those too.
One of his favorite things right now is his sticker book that he got for Christmas from Aunty Bonnie. He loves to put the stickers in the right place and is pretty good at recognizing where things ought to go. They play with small stickers at day care so his dexterity is pretty good and he can line the stickers up very well. By the time he hits kindergarten he may be ready to help teach it.
We've been working on expanding his vocabulary. Instead of him saying "Banana" we encourage him to say "Banana please" or "I want a banana". Last night he even signed the ASL sign for "please" while asking "Banana please". It's amazing how much they learn at this age.
Happy birthday Bonnie (Feb 14th). Better post while we remember.

More Birthday Wishes
Happy soon-to-be birthday to our niece Nicola and our brother-in-law Clint. We've heard Nic had her party already and got loads of presents. Maybe she'll share them with her dad.
Love from all of us. Look for presents to be arriving soon via snail mail. OK, I'm sending them today...will be a bit late.

Congratulations
Two couples we know recently got new additions. Congratulations! Don's friend has a baby girl and my friend has a baby boy. Unfortunately, they all live quite far away so we'll have to admire them from afar.
