Month in Review - April


Bye-bye Car & Happy Easter
Over the Easter weekend we went to a city called Kingston to have Easter with Uncle John and Aunt Kelly. Daddy & Mommy co-ordinated this visit with the “bye-bye” of our car. (The new owner of our car lived in the same city as Uncle John so we dropped the car off that weekend.) Daddy & Mommy were a bit sad that afternoon after leaving the car but Mommy’s spirits picked up the next day when a bunny rabbit broke into Uncle John’s and Aunt Kelly’s place and left chocolates. Seems weird for a bunny to a) break-in and b) leave something instead of taking something, but this is still new to me. I did get time to check out a local play ground. I had so much fun there but then I tripped and fell down causing my lip to bleed and swell up. I wasn’t happy. Uncle John cheered me up by taking me over to see a big digger that was resting over in the dirt. Aside from the sore lip, I had a great time with Aunt Kelly and Uncle John. I look forward to visting them again!

Grandma & Granddad Wood’s visit
On their way back from a road trip, Granddad and Grandma Wood came for a visit. We hung out and took it easy. Granddad had to “inspect” our new SUV (which passed the Granddad tests) and I showed him my new steering wheel/horn toy. We also got to go to the “outdoorsmen Store” where there was a huge fishy tank and loads of cool toys for boys. Granddad showed me all the types of fish, while Grandma showed me some “framed” clothing….interesting, but who frames clothing? It goes in the washing machine, not on the wall!

Playground inspector
Mommy and I have been going to the park a lot since the weather is getting nice. To keep things fresh we’ve been testing out different play grounds in our area. Once, while Daddy was with us, we went all the way to Kitchener to check out a huge play area. I think my new role of play ground tester is loads of fun. I love checking out the sand boxes, the swings and the slides….oh the slides…..so much fun.

Grandma Ruth Birthday hike
To help Grandma Ruth celebrate her birthday, me, Daddy, Mommy & Uncle Toddie all met up with Grandma and we went on a nice hike to Rattlesnake point. I got my Daddy saddle on Daddy’s back and we went up and around this long trail. It was neat to see so far from the escarpment.

After our hike, we took Grandma out for a nice dinner, where I got to order my own meal from the kiddy menu. I was more preoccupied with putting things in Mommy’s water and grabbing ice from Daddy’s glass, but it was still neat to order my own meal.

Master Chef
I’m learning the tricks of the trade. When Mommy or Daddy cook meals they tend to show me what they are doing and how. Actually I insist that they show me. I think I’ve got the hang of things. Check out the video of me that Mommy took, where I’m getting my recipe and measurements ready.

Weeks in Review March 15th to 31st


Sorry for the delay.....
Apologies to my readers for not posting any entries on my blog for the last few weeks. My biographers have been very busy lately. (It is so hard to get good help these days.)

New Stuffed Toy from Great Aunt Ruth
Before my great Auntie Ruth fell ill, she asked Uncle Roger and Cousin Becky to buy this cool stuffed toy monkey for me. Auntie Ruth was so nice and loving. I really miss her. Thank you for the very special present!

New Ride for me? Or is it a saddle for Daddy?
This past week I went to a store with Mommy & Daddy called MEC. They have so many cool things there, a climbing wall, tons of canoes, hiking gear, a kids play house, bicycles and camping stuff. I was excited to hear Mommy & Daddy discussing the pros of buying a new infant back pack carrier. I test drove a few of them and finally settled on the one we ended up buying. It’s like a saddle that goes on Daddy’s back and I drive him around. We tested it out on a few walks in our neighborhood and its even comfy enough for me to fall asleep in. Good purchase Mommy & Daddy!

Gord visits again
We sure saw a lot of Gord these past two weeks. I like it when he drops by. He is pretty funny.

I love Strawberries
