Hittin' a jump on the Gorky Glider

Nevik: On Saturday, Sunday and Monday I went sledding. I am becoming quite adept at doing jumps with my sled. Maman was worried but I showed her. I even got air on this jump, but you can't see it in the picture. I love sledding. I don't like pulling the sled up the hill, and being the spoiled little kid that I am, my mom usually pulls it up for me. Next year, I say.

Skye: Sledding is fun only if I am going down too. I hate just waiting at the top.

Visiting Alexandre in Repentigny

Nevik: We went to play at my friend Alexandre's house. His sister Jessica was there too because she didn't have school. They live kind of far - in Repentigny. It seemed to take forever to get there. (my concept of time is still relatively short - it's either now or it's taking too long.) We had tons of fun playing with cars and trucks, blocks, drawing pictures, playing play dough and running around. We got to eat lasagna for lunch and I ate 2 helpings!

Skye: I had fun too. Lots of action. That's always good. Then I played with Lola at Grandmaman's house.

Return to Bibliotheque Mile End

Nevik: We went to the Mile End library to play with the games. My favorite is the Playmobile castle. I love taking it apart and putting it back together. Alex was there too and he played with the Duplo helicopter and firetruck. In the afternoon I played at home with my Playmobile and with pumpkin seeds. Mononcmarc came for dinner.

Skye: I practiced crawling and standing. I am learning how to hold on to things with one hand and how to move my feet in a forward movement. When I get upset or agitated, I say mamamamammamammamamam. Maman thinks that I am calling to her -well, duh. I like to try and imitate things that I see and hear - banging, jumping, stacking, sounds, smiles, a much more!

playing with playmobile

Nevik: (at noon) I am playing with fairyland playmobile.
Nevik: I played with playmobile all day! It was alot of fun. Maman and I started building a castle on the back porch. It is going to be huge, and it will have tunnels. This evening we went to see a school on my street - L'École Petite Patrie - because I might go there when I am 5. It was nice - 3 stories. My parents said that it looked liked a nice elementary school. Mononcmarc stopped by just as I was getting in bed, so I got a special goodnight.

Skye: Today Maman and Nevi put up my crib. I fussed a little before my naps, but I am getting used to it. I spent most of the day practicing standing and crawling. Those playmoblies are tempting, too!

chillin' at home on a winters' day

Nevik: Papa stayed home from work today. Grandmaman came over to play. I did legos, puzzles (the hard ones with 100 pieces), made cookies and played cribbage.

Skye: I am feeling better today. I still have a runny nose and I HATE having the snot sucked out of me. I got to eat Arctic Char tonight. Yummy.

Skye stands up

Nevik: This weekend we were all sick. We all have the flu. We had to stay inside and do quiet play. Okay for a bit but I was getting restless and decided to jump up and down on the sofa and play tag. Maman and I made cookies today.

Skye: This being sick is no fun. I had to go to the hospital on Saturday night because I had a hard time breathing and Maman and Papa were freaking out. Then at the hospital I started freaking out because there were lights and people and stuff in my face and I just wanted to go to bed. Finally it all stopped and then Maman and I got to go to sleep. I woke up later and felt much better. So much so that I pulled myself up to standing today! Those legos were looking way too tempting.

Vacation's over!

After a long hiatus, we are back online! Here are some quick pics of us 'til tonight when I can write a real post.
