return from ?

I am not sure how long it's been since my last post; life got the better of me. I guess that is not a bad thing. I've decided to take this blog in a new direction and try to write a tidbit every day or so. I want to keep the post relevant to want is going on in our lives more of a little day to day diary.

The thing that stands out the most about yesterday is poo and snow; however not combined.

Yesterday it snowed for what felt like the first time all winter - C monster immediately asked to go play in the snow. I think he had been waiting for snow since Christmas - in his words each time we saw the tiny amounts of snow Toronto had "more sno; more sno" all while signing we word more and with his bottom lip turn over like he was about to cry. We spent I think a good 2 to 3 hours out in the snow as it was coming down; C monster did some shoveling; some snow throwing and was even though the art of mini snowmen building by our neighbor.

Now the reason why I say poo is that well we actually convinced C monster to use the potty instead of having a poo in his bath last night. - This is huge in our house.

Potty Time

I am sure this was more timing then anything else, but Christophe went pipi in the potty today. We got him a potty for his birthday (last Sunday) and since then we sit him on the potty with a book before each bath, tonight something happened.

What to buy a little one for his first birthday

I have been doing my research trying to figure out what to get Christophe for his birthday. We bought him his potty that we plan on unveiling on his birthday but we also want to get him a toy. The potty we selected is from Boon. Honestly we chose it because I though it was cute, I actually have no clue what to look for when one buys a potty.

For the toy half of his present these are the items that we are looking at:

Busy Boat by North Star Toys

Battino by Selecta

Click Clack by Plan Toys

Hammer Balls by Plan Toys
