December 26th 2010

Christmas came and went, but we had a blast!!

December 24th, we went for dinner with your grand-parents Proulx, it was so much fun as you just love seeing them, you always run towards then for your hugs and kisses. It is so sweet to see. We stayed at the restaurant for good hour and a half and you were so good, you were having fun with the waitress and putting stickers on her hand and she was just smiling away as I think you made her night everyone was looking at you and smiling.

As soon as we got home and put you to bed, your father and I got all the gifts ready and set up the train to go around the Christmas tree, we had so much fun, we had Christmas music in the background. Just the joy your father and I had, I just could not wait for you to wake up!

December 25th was our day!! you woke up at around 6:00am and your father brought you to the basement so you could drink your milk and slowly wake up. I came down shortly after and you were playing with your train, so I asked you if you wanted to come upstairs as Santa Clause came when you were sleeping, you looked at me and said NO, it was so funny, then your dad kind of coached you to come up, we just laughed.

You came up the stairs and realized that Santa Claude did come, and even thou there was about 10 gifts around the Xmas tree, you saw the train! You were so excited, you looked at me and said; le Pere Noel ma donner un train Maman, as you really, really wanted a train for Xmas. You were so excited. Your father showed you how to turn it on and off with the music. Oh boy, you were so mesmerise by it that you just did not care about the other gifts that were waiting for you! We told you that Santa Clause brought you other gifts too. So you finally stop the train and we started to give you your Xmas gifts. You got: puzzles, a Buzz Light year, building blocks, a music bear, PJ's, a puzzle book of Caillou, Walkies-Talkies of Elmo, a Jack in the box with Elmo etc... you kept saying encore un cadeau. But as much as you were enjoying opening your gifts you enjoyed distributing the ones for your father and I. And you were also glad to help us open them too.

By 8:00am we were all done, you were playing with your new toys, your father and I were cleaning up and we all had such a wonderful smile. It was just amazing seeing Xmas through your eyes Alexandre.

Then we went to see your Aunt Leona and Aunt Pauline to give them there Xmas gift and let me just say that we made there Xmas as much as they made ours that morning. They had a nice gift waiting for you, your very first Fisher Price Digital Camera, you just love it! and she had sticker books for you too. They love spoiling you! then you gave out our gifts to them too and once again you helped them open it. They were just smiling of joy! We all were. Then Leona took out some of her music Xmas decoration. You sat on the floor and just loved to press the on button and dance to the music. You are such a ham!

We got home at around 11:30am so you could relax and have a little nap as we were expected at Uncle Luc's and Aunt Sandra for 3:00, we got there at around 3:30 and your cousins were so happy to see you, Mark, Isabelle, Mathew and Victoria. They all came running to you when we arrived, and within minutes you were in the basement playing with them. They found you so funny and cute. You were having a blast with them.

Mamie arrived shortly after and then Tante Nathalie, Oncle Pat, Julian and Paolo. You were happy to see everyone. Then, guess what! Santa Clause came himself to distribute the gifts. You were so happy, you went into his arms right away and you were so proud! Santa stayed till all the gifts were distributed then he had to leave to go and see the other children and to distribute there gifts too. You gave him a hug and a kiss and off he went.

We got home at around 10:00pm which is very late for you, but you were fine, still going strong with all the new toys you received from Santa Clause; trains for your train set, Elmo Play dough, a Fisher Price car parking toy, a huge elephant that you just adored. You were saying on the way home; encore des cadeaux. So I explained to you that Santa Clause is now home, in the North Pole and that he needs to relax as he will only be coming next year. You were listening to me attentively, and you were repeating the same thing; Le Pere Noel est parti a la maison. Then withing minutes you were sound asleep in the car.

Today, being December 26th, we are all so tired. We did a few errands this morning and by noon we were home. We gave you lunch then your milk and next thing we knew, you were feel asleep, and you slept for over 2 hours. I guess you needed it

What a great Christmas this was!

Merry Christmas Alexandre. I just love you

December 14th 2010

So much to share....

Today was a fun day at daycare. Santa Clause came for a visit and gave everywhere a candy cane and a book, you were so happy about the candy cane you asked me to open it right away.

I love the fact that you are not scared of Santa Clause and that you know that Santa Clause will be coming soon to give you gifts and you also know that you have to be a good boy to get them, so when we remind you, you just smile. It is so funny! and let me tell you the only thing you are asking for is a train set, you keep saying" Maman; Pere Noel, un train" and you even have a picture from a magazine that you keep showing me. You make me smile.

So in 11 days, Christmas will be here. I can't wait!

Well, while you were sick, you manage to still enjoy the Christmas decoration that Leona and I put up. Now you even tell me to turn on the light for our Christmas tree and you keep saying "C'est beau" with a big smile.

Your Grand-papa Guy came for a visit, he wanted to see how you were and wanted to give you a kiss and a hug before he left for Florida, as he goes there each year for a few months, see he likes to play golf a lot. But the time the he was here, you made him smile. You were playing with a musical Christmas toy and it was so sweet to watch the two or you together.

It was been now, 6 days now that you are on antibiotics and you seemed to be back on track but you are still tired, which is normal. Last night you asked us to go to bed at 7:15 instead of 7:40 and you slept till 6:15am which you very seldom due, you were so tired and if sleep is what you need, that is what we will give you . You woke up in a great mood as we told you that Santa Clause is coming to visit you and the other children at the daycare, oh boy, you were so excited, you kept telling me that you wanted a train.

I will be dropping by today to see you with Santa Clause for a short while to take pictures. Then you will be just fine with all your friends at the daycare which loves you so much!

December 13th 2010

Well it has been a long few days, but it is getting better. Poor you, you caught a cold that turned into pneumonia. Your father and I brought you to the clinic last week and the doctor gave you antibiotics. Your fever went down right away after giving you Tylenol every 4 hours and your medicine which I might add you did not hesitate to take. Which was and is a good thing.

Today, you went back to daycare, it has been 4 days that you have not been so you were not to please this morning, I guess staying home with mom and dad beats the daycare. But once you were there, you were fine. They told us that you were still not your 100% and wanted to play alone and that your appetite was not there, but that is normal, you still have 5 more days to go with you antibiotics, then you will be find. Mind you, you are not far from being yourself again as you are still smiling, laughing, running and playing. LOL

You are such a great trooper Alexandre and I love you so much.

December 5th 2010

Let the holiday season begin!!

We had a great time on Saturday, we went to spend the day with Grand-Papa guy up north. It was a such a beautiful day that we even went for a nice walk outside. It was snowing lightly and you were just loving it!

Aunt Nathalie, uncle Pat, Paolo and Julian arrived shortly after for our wonderful Christmas dinner. You were so happy to see Uncle Pat and everyone one, you ran to the door to great them. After a short while we decided to give out the Xmas gifts. You were so sweet, you did not care about your gifts, you just wanted to distribute the gifts for everyone else. There is one thing about you that I have to admit and be proud of is that you love to share and you always say "thank you".

We left up north at around 9:30 and you were sound asleep by 9:33. As you were so tired and you had such a full day and I knew that tomorrow was going to be as busy with the Santa Clause parade at Two Mountain with Julie's family.

Sure enough, Sunday morning before the parade, you were having so much fun with all your new toys that I believe it tired you out - lol - as you were down stairs in your fathers arms at around 10:00am and next thing we knew, you were sound asleep in his arms. I took you from him so your dad could do a few things around the house and then within 10 minutes you were just snoring. So I laid you down on the couch with your blanket and you slept for over 2 hours, which you have not done in a very long time at the house, boy you were tired.

Once you woke up, we dressed you warmly and got ready to meet up with Julie, Samantha and Sabrina and of to the parade we went. You were in heaven just watching was was around you and all those marching bands, you were in a "AAhh' mode. You were just watching and absorbing everything with a smile on your face. You would go in my arms then on your fathers shoulders then back in my arms, you just did not want to miss anything.

The last float was with Santa Clause, and you saw him coming, you were so happy, you kept telling me you were there ( Le Pere Noel est la) you kept saying, it was sweet.

Now, being Sunday evening, you are sound asleep and I hope you have wonderful dreams of this weekend, as I know I will.

December 1st 2010

What a joy you are.. yes, I keep saying that but it is so true, each day you make me smile and laugh, there is something about you that I just love and adore... and always will.

Today, I had to share what you have been up to that has been so much fun and that is we are babysitting a dog called Zeus for 10 days and let say that you are enjoying this so much, you love feeding Zeus and giving him water each day. Each morning you get up and ask for him and just can't wait to give him a hug or a kiss. And when you are back from daycare, you make sure you say hi to Zeus. What a character you are! and Zeus is just loving the attention too. He is a great dog that lets you pet him, kiss him and hug him too.

I had to attache a few pictures and a video, as I know you will forget about Zeus when he leaves, but for me, the memories will always be there!
