Never, ever again
Posted by ahechtenns On F j, Y
This will go down as one of those things that I will never, ever do it again. I sewed this bathrobe for R. I was suckered in with the beautiful fabric. It’s called Minky, and boy is it every soft and cuddly. When she was around 3 I bought her a bathrobe in a size 5. Granted, she wore it until this year, but I knew its time was running out. I was lured in with the fabric, and hooked for good with a ‘simple’ bathrobe pattern. The thing that was so awful was that for every cut I made, the fabric gave off fluff. And I mean serious fluff, hot pink fluff. I realized the problem after the first cut, but then I was already committed. So on I went. Every time I sewed, I had to break out the vaccum. It’s been a nasty week of sewing, but I’m finally done…and I’m happy to report I’ve finally gotten to put the vaccum away. 🙂
Egg hunting
Posted by ahechtenns On F j, Y
Today was a mixed bag of weather. The morning was rainy, but the sun managed to come through by afternoon. R needed new runners, so we went to the mall together. She decided she wanted runners that had laces. I was pushing the velcro ones, but she was determined. I must say I was quite amazed at how quickly she can tie her own laces. She looked so grow up with lace up runners!
In the afternoon family came over and we had a little egg hunt with the kids. Here are the pictures.

Palm Sunday

Today was Palm Sunday. Our church had the same procession of children waving palm branches as we do every year. Every year I find it just as sweet.
Funny thing R said
Posted by ahechtenns On F j, Y
So R and I were reading a story. In the story a child who was mis-behaving got send to the principal’s office. She asks “Why do you get send to the principal’s office”? I explained that when you behaviour is so bad that your teacher can’t deal with you, you get sent to the principal’s office to talk to them. So I asked her “Do you ever get sent to the principal’s office”? She answers “no, oh, only to get hurt” HAHAHAH.
I asked her if she got hurt often, but she was laughing to hard to answer at this point….
Another first for J-bean today, we read stories while he drank his bottle, and then BRUSHED TEETH before bed….mind you his first brushing was only about 10 seconds long, but I really wanted to make sure it stayed positive!
The only cure for chrome is more chrome…

What the hecK? Here I am just watching tv relaxing and I hear this commercial for some sort of large truck and the tag line is “The only cure for chrome is more chrome” What?? It became very clear to me in that exact moment that I was definatlely not the target market for that commercial. I think it will be my new tag-line though.
Syrup
Posted by ahechtenns On F j, Y
We went to the Maple Syrup Festival today. It was a brilliant sunny day. J had a good time in the backpack carrier. It was so very crowded it was a good thing he was up high. He was pointing and waving, making friends everywhere. R had carefully counted out $5.59 cents from her piggybank and was looking for things to buy. She settled on a pack of glow in the dark silly bands. We went and saw “Old MacDonald’s Farm”. There were baby chicks, a calf, a horse and foal, a sheep with 2 lambs, 3 pigs and bunnies. R also did the straw maze, and milked the fake cow (like last year). We didn’t stay to long as R got cold feet (literally). Still, it was fun all the same.

Words words words
Posted by ahechtenns On F j, Y
So I was trying to make a list yesterday of all of J’s words. As of yesterday, the list looked like this
mama, dada, (sister’s name)
bye bye
K-ty (kitty)
mao (what the kitty says)
Go
Ca (for car)
Bu (for button)
PL (for please learned last week)
Ca-ca for cracker learned yesterday
Hand signs he knows (which apparently count as words according to the speech therapist)
All done
More
waves “hi”
Waves “bye bye”
Points at things he wants
Not a bad list eh? Well, today he added two more. Grandpa and grandma had him for the morning, and J loves being with them. When they were dropping him off I heard him say Gr-pa quietly, but grandpa heard it too and was pleased as punch! Later in the evening R was getting J to chortle in the car on the way home. It was hilarious, it almost sounded like he was going to split his gut! Anyways. I was trying to record this on my Blackberry, and I said to R, “Ready…set” and small boy sayd “GO”!! I had no idea he knew that!
