His first pair of hockey skates

na na na na na

I have the Kaiser Chiefs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u43GGHjLyYo "Na na na na na" song in my head.... You should hear Julius sing it: it's awesome... I'll have to videotape him sometime. He dances and jumps around as he sings "Na na na na na!!!" It's pretty awesome.

So today was crazy busy. We woke up and went to get Julius' passport done. We got lost... I'm terrible at directions LOL But we figured it out and made it to the appointment (only four minutes late!). Then we went to visit the train station because Julius LOVES watching the train zoom by... dude, those trains are FAST and LOUD. Yikes.

Then after lunch and a supposed nap (30 minutes is not a nap!) we went to his nursery school to see the art work. I was very impressed by all the great art pieces that were showcased. Julius' art was very cool. He tends to use more of the modern art approach to drawing and painting... Mommy's favorite ;) We were all very proud of him, and he was pretty proud of himself too :)

Afterwards we played in the school playground, went to the store to buy him new shoes, then out to dinner and finally back home... whew!!! Now he's asleep and I'm pretty wiped out too!

Happy Friday

Happy Friday, Everyone! I am so thrilled that the week is over. I AM EXHAUSTED!!!!!! Of course this weekend is going to be pretty busy, but I don't mind because it'll be fun.

Tomorrow Julius' nursery school is having an art show. I can't wait to see the art work that will be displayed. What a fantastic idea to collect some art pieces from students and displaying them on the walls like an art gallery! I am so excited.

Today Julius was so funny. He is so good at making me laugh. I've been feeling pretty lousy the past couple of days (weeks, okay, maybe months) and he can always make me smile and laugh. He is such a great kid!!!

I'd write more but I am being called upon... LOL Good night, everyone!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter and Passover, everyone! Things have been going great. Yesterday we had an Easter egg hunt in our neighborhood...and can you believe it? It snowed!!! Crazy weather.

Today Julius woke up to a big basket full of trucks and cars (and then he proceeded to ask me where this Easter bunny lived... LOL). Afterwards, we went to my parents' house, and then to church... and let me just tell you: Julius, being only 34 months old, was an angel!!! Sure he squirmed and at one point started to sing some made up 'dee-dop' song during the blessing of the Eucharist, but hey, it's a long service and the kid is only two and half. So all in all, he did spectacular!!!

Later, we returned to my parents' house for lunch. Julius was exhausted and we ended up leaving shortly afterwards.

I hope everyone has had a nice Sedar and Easter holiday :)

Spring Break!

I've been having such a fantastic spring break! Julius and I have been having a ton of fun together. He's at such a great age (2 1/2 years... technically 33 months.. almost 34 months old) and we've been having picnics, playing at the park, playing cars, pretending to be race cars or trains, baking cookies, cooking, dancing, playing hockey, baseball, riding his bike....Sigh, going back to work is going to be such a drag! :(

But I'm focusing on the present right now, and we're just having a blast!
