So many things in a weeks time....

June 13th, graduation at the daycare! Each year when the children graduated and all of the other children "change" room and there is always a show at the church. So, this year your class sang "j'ai perdu le dos de ma clarinette" it was so much fun watching you on stage with your "classmates" but what made if funnier is that you did not move, you got stage freight! Everyone was singing and dancing to the song. You just stared at everyone watching you! Your face was in Awe.

Once it was finished, the curtain closed and you came out with your friends to see on the floor to watch the other do there show, I guess I would have to say, that lasted 3 minutes, as soon as you saw me and Mamie, you ran to us and sat on my knees to watch the remaining of the show. After that it was cold pizza and cake for everyone. What a fun afternoon that was!

June 18th, you and I went to see Jacqueline and Katherine as it was a special day for Katerine, she was doing her show as she takes gymnastics and each year they finish with a beautiful show. We got to there house late afternoon enough time for you and her to play a little together, then we had supper and then the show. It stared at 6:30pm so we had to be there a bit early. Once the show stared, you were just amazed. The customs, the music, and the gymnastic the girls were doing. All to say you were dancing , smiling, clapping to the music, you were so much fun to watch and you had fun till the end, 9:00pm. Once the show was over and we were waiting for Katerine, you went on the stage and stared to do some "culbute" and having fun with balloons. Just watching you was such a joy!

June 19th, what a great father’s day we had last Sunday! It started off you waking up at 6:35, which you normally do not do you normally get up between 5:20- 5:30. So your father and I slept in. Once you woke up, you were so happy to give your father's day card to your father, it was so nice. You made it at the daycare and the card looks like a tuxedo, very neat! Then it was of too breakfast with Grand-papa Proulx and Grand-Maman, but the best part is that Carl and Francine joined us and Brian and France and they had there grand-children, your second cousins!! Anthony who is 4 and Lucas who is 3. You sat next to them at the restaurant and played with them. You had a blast. After the restaurant we went back to Grand-papa so you could play some more with your cousins. It was a great morning.

We went back home and spent the afternoon at the pool, we brought your pool toys and you played and played till 5:00, as it was time for dinner.

Since then, after day care, weather permitting of course, I have been bringing you to the pool and you have been having fun with your new friends in the small pool and the big pool! You just love the water, And Since Sunday, you have been sleeping in, Monday 6:35am, Tuesday 7:40am, Wednesday 7:05am and Thursday 7:15... Let’s see how long "this sleeping in will last....

I have to admit that I enjoy driving you to day care in the morning, as your father normally drove you but since you are sleeping in, he leaves for work, so we take our time to get dress, and we just play and have breakfast together. As your new favourite cereal is loop loops, meaning Fruit Loops. It is so cute when you as for it.

Another fun thing that we are doing right now is we are baby-sitting a dog called Shumie, he is a beagle who is 9 years old and is so good with children, and you love walking him and feeding him. We only have him for a few days but you are having fun with him, it is like a new toy! hahaha

Love you Alexandre

What a great weekend we had once again. This time we went to Centre de la Nature in Laval, such a beautiful park, and it has so much to offer; a beautiful lake, canoe rides, a train for children, face painting, pony rides and even a small zoo that had: rabbits, chickens, cows, goats, deer’s, pigs, horses and much more. And that is not to mention the huge park they have for children and the picnic tables that they have if you wish to eat outside! It was just so much fun!! Jacqueline and Katerine were there too, they meet us there and you were so happy to see Katerine!

So, as soon as you saw the train, you started to scream of joy! And we told you that yes, after lunch we would go. Boy, I have to say that you listen so well, you played in the park with Katerine for a while, then we went to eat, then it was time for the train ride, you were so excited, the conductor gave you your ticket, then he had to take it back to punch a whole in it, you were just amazed, then it was time to go. So Katerine, Jaqueline, you and I went as your father took pictures of us leaving for our train ride. The smile on your face… priceless…. After the train ride, we went to the zoo to see the animals, we feed the goats and the pigs, and then we took you on your very first pony ride. We put you on the horse and you were smiling away, once it was time to go, the horses went in a circle and you were just proud of being on a horse by yourself, what a proud moment for your father and I. We were just watching you!

After a long but fun morning/afternoon, it was time to go, you were not to happy about leaving but we told you that next time we would come back, we would do the canoe ride and much more, so you seemed happy with that. You got into the car and I think within 5 minutes you were out like a light. You slept for a good 45 minutes. Once we got home, we were expecting Francine and Carl for dinner, and you were very happy to see them! You gave them lots of hugs, so while I was making dinner, your uncle Carl was playing with you and you just loved it! By 7:45 you were so tired, we put you to bed and as a gift to us, you slept till 6:30am which you very seldom do, I mean seldom, hahaha, you normally wake up at 5:20 each day, so I have to say” Thank you Alexandre” mind you anytime you wish to wake up (after 5:15) we are always ready for you! As we love you so much.

Sunday, we had another fun day, we spend the afternoon at the park and you were just happy going outside again. Them Mamie and Doug came over for dinner, you wanted Doug to sit next to you, which he did, you eat very well and never said a word. Once you were finished your dessert, it was time for bath and them bed. You looked so tired at 7:30 but you wanted to watch a bit more of your favourite move which is now Madagascar (a few months ago it was Horton hears a Who) lol, now lets see what time you will be waking up tomorrow LOL

Love you Alexandre

We had another fun weekend together. We went to the Biodome and the Redpath museum, it was so much fun. And we took the subway to get there and that was itself so much fun. You were just watching everything that was going on and each time the doors would close for the next station, you would say: on y va, lol lol .

Our first stop was the Biodome in the morning, Julie, Samantha and Sabrina were with us and they were a great help, especially when it came time to carrying your stroller or you as you wanted to see all the animals, and you did. We saw parrots, different kind of birds, ducks, a sloth, a porcupine, an alligator, a monkey and of course, lots of fish and even a ray! It was so much fun seeing your reaction. At our last stop at Biodome, we went to the souvenir shop, I asked you want you wanted as there was so many “stuff” animals to chose from, but you picked a “Lemur” which is white and black with a ring tail, people think they are monkeys, but they are not and believe it or not you only find them in the island of Madagascar, (which is one of your favorite movie).

Then off to the Redpath Museum to see the Dinosaurs! We had to take a bus and once again, you did not mind, you actually feel asleep in my arms in the bus. Once we arrived, and you saw full of artefacts of dinosaurs, shells, mummies and full of “stuffed” animals, like wolfs, beavers, owls, lion, gorilla (which you thought look mad, which was very funny), links, eagles and much more, you were just smiling away. I have to admit I just love seeing your reaction. When we were about to leave, a worker gave you a fossil of a sharks tooth, you were so lucky!

What a great day we had! Your father came and picked us up in the afternoon and you were so happy so share your day with him. And of course you went to bed with your lemur and slept till 6:00am.

Love you

Mom
