January 31st 2011

January is over... just a few more month for winter to leave us, and I am looking forward to it....

I forgot to mention that January 30th was your mom's birthday. Which I would have forgotten if it wasn't your you and your wonderful father. You two brought me shopping for new clothes, then on the day of my birthday, you brought me flowers! It was so sweet, as the flowers were bigger then you, but you did manage to hold on to them!

We went for dinner twice that week-end, once with Julie and her family, Marilyn and her daughter Liz, Atilio came with his son and a friend which she had two children of he own. But the best part was....Leona was there, you ran to her with open arms as you were so happy to see her and I think you know that each time you see her, you get a 'small" gift, and sure enough, she had plastic farm animals, stickers, coloring books, crayons of Toy Story, etc... yup, once again, you got spooled by Leona lol - she loves you so much.

The next evening, we went to another restaurant with all the family; Mamie, Doug, Nathalie, Pat, Julian, Paolo, Luc, Sandra, Mathew, Victoria, Isabelle and Marc. You were in heaven as you just love Isabelle, so we made sure you sat next to her and you were in your glories, you kept stealing her French fries and black olives, it was funny. Then you guys all moved to a smaller table so you can do a bit of arts and crafts with the crayons and sticker I brought. It was nice seeing you play with your cousins!

We got home at around 8:30pm and you were 1/2 asleep, you just looked at me and said: maman, dodo... and we put you to bed right away. You got up at around 5:30pm.

What a great weekend I had with you and your father. You always make me feel special Alexandre!

January 29th 2011

You make me laugh....

What a great week we had, you can tell that you are no longer sick and that you are back to your happy go lucky personality.

I just had to share with you what you said this week, as it was way too funny. I need to cut your hair and I said to you that if you did not cry, you would get a "cadeau", so sure enough you sat there on your dad's lap like a big boy and I was able to cut your hair. Once you were done, I gave you your "cadeau" it was Percy the train that goes with Thomas, oh boy you were so happy. The fallowing morning, as your father and I were getting you ready for daycare, you looked at me and said; maman je veut un cadeau, I told you that Santa Clause is gone and next year he will be back and that you cannot get a gift each day. You looked at me and said; bye bye maman, I asked you where you were going? you answered me; Au Pole Nord. I replied "bon voyage" you started to laugh.

Also, I have share with you that your vocabulary is just getting better and better each day and you are so smart, you remember what we tell you. You speak now with 4 words sentences, and just the other day you saw a train, then you said to me: un train maman, and I replied; oui un train, then you said avec des vagons. I was amazed that you remembered.

I just love you so much

January 23rd 2011

January is almost over Alexandre...

I posted that we had such a fun day on January 9th, which we did, you played in the snow and was just loving it. What we did not know was that you are so fragile when it comes to the cold. So on January 11th, you started not feeling well. The daycare called and told me you were very upset and that you were starting a fever. So we went to he clinic and sure enough, you were starting a cold but not to worry as your ears and lungs were fine but keep you home for a few days. The next day, your tongue started to have a big white spot on it, so we brought you back to the clinic and they told us you had canker sores, very common when a child has a fever. So poor you, each time you eat or drank it would just hurt you so much. I felt so bad for you and so sad. You were so defenseless, it broke my heart. With a 103 fever, canker sores and chap lips, oh boy.

On January 18th, you were doing slightly better and you can see that you were getting bored at home and wanted to see your friends at daycare, you would even mention Ousamma's name (a teacher at the daycare), so we realized it was time for you to go back, you had no more fever, your canker sores were 90% gone. So the next day, Tuesday, you were back at the daycare with your friends and you were fine, well I would say 70%. On Wednesday, we received a phone call from the daycare to let us know that that you were just not yourself, you were just so tired, which was normal as you would get up at 4:30am each day as you were just not feeling well and so sore. So we picked you up from the daycare and went back to the clinic to make sure that everything was ok with you. The doctor told us that you were fine and that you just needed to get lots of rest.

So your father and I decided that you would finish the week at the daycare and since you were sleeping so much there, we would keep you up longer during the evening to see if you would sleep in, yes pass 4:30am and you did.

Today being January 23rd, I have to say that I am please, happy, relief as a mother to see you back to normal, you are smiling away, eating, drinking like you did before you got sick. Yahoo!

It was the first time since you have been with us that you were that sick and it just broke my heart as you could not express yourself. I wish I could have taken away your pain and put on me, I just love you so much and seeing you like that was very hard and I was so heartbroken.

I am so glad that you are back to your happy go lucky self and have to admit that from now till spring, we might hold off on any outdoors activies, as I really don't want you to get sick like that again.

Love you Alexandre

Mom

January 9th 2011

What a great day we had...

This morning we went for breakfast with Grand-Papa et Grand-Maman Proulx at Chez Cora's. It is amazing how long you can stay without getting inpentient, you just sit there eat what we give you (ham, fruits, bread etc) and you play with your toys and you do not say boo. You are so good, it is just wonderful.

Once we got home, it was so nice outside that we put your Winter pants and we played outside, we took out your sleigh and we pulled you around in the snow, you were just laughing away and having fun. At one point you thought you were in a train so you kept saying "chou-chou". You are just such a joy.

After your nap, we went to see your cousins, as Victoria had a school project to do, I believe it was called what inpired you. So she asked me to come over so she could "interview me" by asking me full of questions about you. How we found you, where you were from, what you eat, where you slept etc. So while we were doing this, you were playing with Marc, Isabelle and Aunt Sandra. You were having a blast!

I just love you!

January 5th 2011

A new year!

We started New Years Eve at St-Hubert restaurant with Grand-Papa Proulx, Grand-Maman Proulx, Uncle Brian, Aunt France, your cousin Adam, Cathy, Uncle Carl and your and Francine. They were all so happy to see you! as usually you ran to your grand-father and he was so please. You can tall how much love he has for you. It is just amazing to watch! Your grand-father picked St-Hubert BBQ because it has a play area for the children, and let me say, you were so happy, there were Lego's, chalk boards, balloons and you got to play with new friends. It was funny as your father or I would bring you to the room and you would say; bye-bye Maman or papa so we could leave and you could play with your friends. You were just so adorable.

New Years day, we went to your Aunt Nathalie. So many people were there. Your uncle Pat's family plus Mamie. We had so much fun. You played with a Santa Clause that was as big as you, you played with Paolo and Julian and everyone else. You were the center of attention as you were just so polite and sweet with everyone.

Your aunt Nathalie had a special decoration on the table so you two had the time to have fun with it. It was four little angles that would go around and around with heat once you lite up the candles, you were so in "Awww' I think you sat on Nathalie's lap for the longest time looking at it and trying to blow the candles so she could re-lite them. It was sweet to watch.

We left there at around 9:30 and you slept all the way home and woke up at 6:15 the next morning. Boy you were tired, but the best part is that we were with family and you had fun!

Love you

Mom
