We're back!!!

I have so many photos and stories to share from our MB holiday. I will have to do them in instalments though, and if anyone has any memories they particularly liked, please email me with them so I can remember to include them! I should have taken notes while we were gone... my memory is failing me in my old age!

Unfortunately I have been sick since I got back... my sinuses feel like they want to explode and sinus pills are only helping so much. I will head to bed shortly and hope that a good sleep will help a lot.

AK's daycare is closed this week for cleaning and training and so AK is spending her days with Matthew and his nanny Lanie. Jenni emailed some pictures of their day today... I'm thinking this nanny gig is working out well for AK!!! I can imagine she and Matthew were pretty excited to see each other today.

Two explorers getting ready to go!

Lanie managed to get into a photo too!!!

Snack time!

Don't these two just absolutely melt your heart?

HOLIDAY TIME!!!!! :D :D :D

I am just killing time right now, hanging out with a friend, waiting to go to the airport!

I think AK is quite excited to see her grandparents... there is a cordless phone in the play kitchen, and she was picking it up and saying 'hi grandma!" into it!

It is really fun to watch AK eat yogurt these days. She dips her spoon in, gets a big spoonful, opens her mouth up really wide, navigates the yogurt in, licks it off, then uses the spoon to scrape off any mess on her mouth. It is really cute :)

It is rainy here today, but the plane from TO to GCM is on time, and I don't see that we should have any issues leaving on time from here. Our friends Sue and Kylie will also be on the plane to TO today so that will give us a bit of companionship. I will sure be happy to see Uncle Chris on the other end in Wpg!!!

See you SOON! xo

Three sleeps til holidays!

Couldn't think of anything better for a title tonight!

I'm trying to upload video of AK playing with her new kitchen today. It won't work so I will try again tomorrow. She is pretty happy with it! A bunch of friends got together to buy it for her for her birthday, but they were buying it from Luci who is leaving the island in about a week and a half, so we agreed that it would come to us closer to the time Luci left.

AK and I met Brent for supper tonight. AK was a little unsure of Brent at first as she hasn't seen him for quite a while, but she was giving him some pretty good cuddles by the end of the evening! She and I looked at some dogs - I called them puppies as AK prefers the word "puppy" to "dog" and the owner gave me a lecture about how puppies grow up to be dogs... I KNOW... I'm just hanging out with a two year old who would rather say "puppy" than "dog"! And then another guy wanted to know how old AK was and was horrified that I'd have gotten a tattoo for her at such a young age. He was quite relieved to know that it wasn't real. Ha. Guess that's what you get when you start chatting with people who have had a few drinks.

On the way back to the car, AK wasn't watching and fell when she stepped off of the curb. I think her ego was more hurt than anything else... but she did say "my bum hurt" and I had to kiss it better. Sigh... but a couple of weeks ago, she would have pointed to her bum and said "hurt" and a week ago, she would have said "bum hurt". Baby steps towards proper sentences!

So it's really only two sleeps til holidays for AK as she is sound asleep already... I'm not far behind. I haven't slept well yet this week. Work is crazy busy, of course, it was nice and quiet the last couple of weeks of July and has been nuts so far in August. xo

My money bum

I gave AK a piggy bank today and found some coins for her to put in it. She kept dropping the coins, and because she was sitting on the bed, the coins would fall down underneath her bum. She started saying "my money bum!!!" after a while. Pretty funny concept!

She had quite the meltdown today as she wanted to watch SpongeBob videos but I don't have any and I've never shown her any so it took about ten minutes and a phone call to Jeremy to figure out what she was saying. Yikes. She was so upset that she wouldn't eat supper.

Karen was kind enough to come babysit tonight as a friend of mine from university/UFE days was on island from London, England where's she lived for five years, for work. It was short notice but we were able to set up a supper tonight. How great it was that we were able to connect and visit.

I should get to bed. It's already 1030pm and I'll be busy tomorrow at work plus I'm hosting book club tomorrow night. xo

True friendship :)

One day late last week, Annabelle was asking for Matthew. I reminded her that he went on an airplane to Canada for holidays. I emailed Jenni to let her know that AK was thinking of Matthew.

She responded that Matthew has been calling his cousin Bethany by the name Annabelle. I think he misses AK ♥

Monkey see, monkey do

When I took a bowl out of the cupboard for popcorn tonight, AK just had to go over to "her" cupboard and take out a plate to put her popcorn on. Funny.

She saw M&Ms at the store the other day and asked for "nummy nummies". Yes, I got them for her.

We hung out outside after work today. We were both tired and Bubba wasn't feeling all that great so I was keeping a close eye on him. We walked over to the lime tree and found a few nice limes to pick up. AK spent most of her bathtime drinking the bath water and trying to convince me to drink some too. I declined :)
