Noël 2010

He came...
There were rumors in my home that he might not come.
I was told that he does not like it when kids push their parents' buttons.
I was told that he was not too impressed with my daily goofiness.

Yet, he came. Santa.
It shows you that adult do not know much...
Thank you Santa, or Santas: because when I see my globe, there is no way that there can be only of you, and I said so to Maman.
Well, t'was a merry happy christmas and merci to all the Santas who made it happen.

An afternoon with Tina

And the fun goes on for me as I spend a fun afternoon with Tina. Even the sun worked hard at pushing the clouds and the sun so we could enjoy a bike ride, a visit to the park, a stroll over the canal and some cozy fun inside too.
My favorite parts: playing with the cat and wrestling with Tina!

Playdates: from princess to truck player

First, I had a playdate with my friend Juliette. We had fun with costumes, flashlights and playing piano. As you can see, I look quite cute in her princess outfit....

And, after asking for months, Maman finally set up a playdate with my friend B. It was really fun and since we are both quite goofy it was a lively playdate!

An unexpected Thanksgiving

It was Wednesday morning and we had already begun the packing frenzy before heading to Spokane to spend time with family. That's before I woke up...
On Sunday, my left ear was bothering me a lot and we made a last minute trip to the doctor to get some drop antibiotics. Sure enough, my right ear got jealous and made it know to Maman by sending ugly smell signals on Wednesday morning. Another trip to the doctor for oral antibiotics this time.
We sure felt bad for Aunt Gail who spent so much time planning and cooking but we decided that a trip away from home would not be too good. Despite missing out on family fun, it's a good thing we did not go since I also starting coughing pretty bad. Let's say that my sleep pattern has been less than stellar ( even less than before, which says a lot) and once again, we all did not get the rest we needed.
Papa ended up preparing quite a delicious feast for us and, although my appetite has been on the decline, I must say that those cashew and ginger green beans were my favorite.
After we filled up with food and wine, well ok, after THEY filled up with wine, we decided to do a photo session to have a family pic to send to Grandma who was hoping for one.
We certainly were silly but luckily there is one good one of us.

In between boots of silliness, cough and sleep, it was also puzzle mania at home this week-end. It turns out that during parent-teacher conference I fooled my teacher into believing that I could do only 10 piece puzzles. When Maman said that, I had to go grab one puzzle after another and made them all in record time. Of course, I was making the 48 piece one without a problem.
But, hey, I am not ready to let my teacher know about that... he would make me actually work and I have too much to do playing as it is.
Here is a little video for you...

Halloween 2010

Happy Halloween to all!

Roaaaar!

The storyteller

First School Picture

Hello,

Here I am again, a few weeks older and sometimes, not the wiser. Let's review the best of for this past week.
Let's start with Monday: I found the only mud puddle on the whole recess ground and got myself quite dirty. My teacher did not appreciate too much and once we were back in class, he told me to go change and clean up "dans les toilettes", which can literally be translated by "in the toilet". At least, that's how I understood it. So by the time I got to cleaning my shoes in the said toilet, the teacher became suspicious and was quite mad when he saw the mess I made. Next time, he will have to be more clear on what his definition of "toilettes" is.
On Tuesday, I was looking drunk most of the day. In fact it was fever and I spent the last hour of the day sleeping in the nurse's room waiting for Papa to get me. And yes, another ear infection and another yucky bottle of antibiotics.
On Wednesday, my teacher asked a group of us if we wanted to draw a picture. I said sure, why not. You have to understand that my teacher works hard at making us autonomous so when we agree on an activity, we have to find our own material. In this case, he said to get crayons and paper and to go draw on the blue table. Yes he said "on". Sure he had mentioned paper too but since I could not find any, I did what I was asked and drew... on the table.
My teacher is beginning to get that I am quite literal and he'd better think next time he gives me an assignment.
Anyway, it was a tough week and I was so tired that Papa got me at lunch on Friday and I slept 3 hours and 30 minutes for nap. Same on Saturday.
That school schedule is getting to me. One more week and we have a break, finally.

When I am at home, it's talk, talk, talk, non stop. I make up stories faster than the speed of light. This video is long but 1/2 of it I story-tell in English and the other half in French, so pick your half and enjoy the show!


Just added this Monday,October 18: I thought it would be fun to color my nose with markers. One more time, I seem to be the only one with a sense of humor. The pic was taken by my teacher after he tried to clean up most of the marker. And the week just started!

A day in September

Can you believe it? It's already the end of September! Is this school thing over yet? I mean, I like playing and recess, and having fun with my friend B. but this "following directions and doing what I am told to do", not too much fun. But my teacher seems as stubborn as I am and he mainly wins the arguments. I seem to be doing a lot of reflecting time on the chair. Although my friend B. and I , we think that going on the chair is fun. There are 5 trouble makers in my class; that's what the teacher said to the Ps. And I am one of them.
Right now I like week-ends better and I also sleep better in my bed at nap time and thus, I am in a better mood.
This week-end we had one nice day and after swimming in the morning I grabbed my bike for a ride and some fun at the playground. Maman will take her bike next time too since she had to run after me most of the way.
At the pool, I am with two older girls who are towering over me. I try to impress them but they seem to think I am mainly goofy. Oh, I finally rolled over on my own in the pool so I am getting closer to moving up to the next level.
Ok, Maman is tired of typing and apparently tired of getting too little sleep for the past month so she is making me sign off.
Enjoy the video!
