Quick Blog

I write this as my child is being mesmerized by The Wiggles and their singing, this will be a short one as I need to finish dinner.

On Monday I had gotten some flowers from work (because it was my last day) I brought them home & showed Robbie how to smell them, "mmmm" he says. So this morning we went for a walk and came across a field full of dandelions, he went crazy! He screams "fowfow" as he runs to a bundle of dandelions in the field (fowfow = flower), he gets on his hands and knees and buries his face into the "flowers" takes a big sniff and says "blech" hahahahaha.

This afternoon we went for another walk and went to the park across the street, it just so happened that the kids had just gotten out of school and were all at the park. Guess who comes up to Robbie to say hi?! One of his little girl guide friends! He was all smiles as he grabbed her hands as she led him all over the park; she helped him up the slides, put him in the swing and tried to teach him how to maneuver some of the older kid toys. Another one of the girl guides came over and took Robbie's other hand... he was walking around that park like he owned it and all the ladies. The girls were pushing him on the swing and he kept on giggling which made the girls giggle - what a flirt!

I've tried to brighten up the image.

I LOVE HIM!

We hibernated all day today (weather's horrible) and we had a fantastic time! He slept well, ate well and even preferred to play by himself a couple of times.

This picture cracks me up... I wish my flash would have co-operated, though. He's got this Elmo Dress me toy that asks to zip up his jacket, tie his shoe laces, check his pockets, etc etc and at the end of each question Elmo says "please"... so this is Robbie saying "please".

He's slowly starting to put 2 words together. He's come up with "Hi Bird", "Hi Mommy", "No Bite" (I was biting Pooh Bear), and "No Way" is the newest one.

Today he ate so well for me, had chicken, peas & tomato - of course I wasn't too keen on eating any of that so I went out to get myself a baked potato & salad, I picked up a small fries for mini me as a reward for eating so well. He loved it! We sat together and watched "Molly" aka The Big Comfy Couch while he munched on them. I told him it was time for bed & he said "no" (this is a new thing, instead of saying "George" or "night night" he'll try and stay up longer) So we went into his room and laid him down while I sat beside him, he gave me his hand and started to giggle. He wanted me to play "round and round the garden" (it's kind of like "cut the pickle, tickle tickle") so after a couple of tickles we read his CG book. I tucked him in afterwards and told him how good of a boy he was, he looked at me and puckered his lips looking for a kiss (awww!) then he asked me for a hug!! He's such a sweet heart and I'm so proud of the little man he's turning into.

I came home to...

We went to Edmonton this long weekend and I came home to this:

Robbie (thanks to Patti) gave me this plant for Mothers Day. There was only greenery when I left... now look at it, and it has another bud behind the flower. I never thought one plant would make me feel so good!!

Patty - Day Home Provider

Well I finally gathered the strength to give Patty the news that we're relocating. She was shocked but was so great - she said that if we ever need a reference if we try and find a day home/care up in Edmonton that she'd be more than willing to write one, she said he's been an angel for her. She also said that her mom's back for the summer (she lives in the states) so she said if I need her to watch Robbie for some extra days (packing or some me time) she can do it now that she's got another set of eyes and hands available to help.

I'm really going to miss bringing Robbie to her. He's blossomed so much since he started going there, he can play by himself and isn't demanding my attention 24-7, she's taught him several words and numbers, Robbie has a little girl friend thanks to her home. Her and I have the same kind of parenting styles and we've clicked since day one... it's going to suck to say good-bye to her and all the kids for good.

Another Tooth

Oh my gosh! This is fantastic, another tooth came through and I had no idea! He wasn't woken up during the middle of the night, his eating habits weren't affected, he didn't have any breakdowns due to the pain - he has a couple of very tiny open sores on his bum but they don't seem to bother him at all! Could he be adapting to the pain? Or maybe it's not as sensitive of a spot, compared to the others - whatever it is, I'm one happy mama.

I guess I'll try making a "Robbie Vocab" list:

-hi, hello, hey, yo
-bye-bye, see you soon, love you
-one, two, three, nine, ten (not sure what happened to 4,5,6,7 or 8)
-puppy, meow (still working on the word cat), bunny, fish = more (because he sees them in multiples)
-Molly (from the TV show Big Cumfy Couch), Toopie (TV show Toopie and Binou), Nan, Nana, Goaway (for Grammie & Grampie), Auntie, Uncle, Mommy, Daddy
-water, hungry, berry, bar (gronola bar), cookie
-car, airplane, walk, choo choo
-head, hand, feet, belly, nose (he says "honk" while he squeezes his nose), teeth
-ball, hamer, chair
-pants, shoes, socks, coat
-hug, kiss, push, skip
-stop it, help, no, yes, nope
-yummy, ummm

Wow... I've never realized his vocab was this big! I know there's others that I'm missing... it's late & I'm pregnant, that's my excuse! hehe.
