my b'y

My b'y has recently developed an affinity for dressin' up, in particular for tulle. It's cool with us. I should mention he's still for the most part - boy man. His other favourite things include: tractors, trucks, computers, music and torturing his dog and sister.

These days this is what the kids are all about:
Elliott is all about books. He will have you read to him book after book. He especially enjoys books with simple words with the corresponding images. I'll say boat - he'll say da dah. I'll say crayon - he'll say da dah. The only word he really has down pat is "more", and it's shocking how far that one word gets him.

After receiving Tangled this week from Aunty Candace and her crew, Kate is all about Rapunzel . She walks around asking strange things like: "Why did my boyfriend cut off my hair? Are you my real mother? Are you going to cut off my hair? Why do you want to cut off my hair?"

I can remember clear as day our when our nephew Aidan was three - there was one day in particular when we had him and he must have asked a hundred questions maybe two. Shortly after that day I remember a host on CBC radio saying four year olds ask on average 400 questions a day.  I felt so sorry for my sister and brother-in-law and so sure that I would never have children. Now we're in it. I'm hoping it's the thick of it with Kate because the questions are seemingly endless, mostly mundane, repetitive and painful. So that's what she's in to: Tangled, asking questions or asking questions about Tangled. On the upside, Cody and I are no longer publicly being referred to as Shrek.

That's us today. What are you up to? xoxo AJ
