To Do, Chickpea - Babble

To Do List

Many people say I am the most organized person they have met; well that is because otherwise I forget everything. Just how crazy am I about making list well lets see - we have shopping list; to do list; cleaning list and so one. I also have a daily to do list this is the stuff that I need to do everyday. I post the list on my white board and as the day goes by check stuff off as it is done.

How do you keep yourself organized?

Beans & Chickpeas

It's not a secret despite my best effort C Monster pretty much only eats pizza, pasta, crackers, eggs, cheese, edemame, peas, corn, smoothies, dried fruit in all forms. I was floored when he started eating chickpeas and black eye peas last night- he even did a repeat performance for supper tonight.

C Monster Babble No More

C Monster is slowly mastering his vocabulary and is developing some favorite sentences here is a peek in his vocab:

• Come papa (this is said every-time he sees a motorcycle; because his papa drives one)
  
• Help mama
  
• Mama Aide
• More mama up vroom vroom (this is said every-time we are in the car and I drive over speed bumps)
  
• Mine Mine Mine
• Meow en haut, down (by this he means the cat is on the counter and should get down)
  
• More juice
• There it is
• Yeah vroum vroum
• Papa this (and points at the toy he wants his dad to play with)
• Papa bye bye vroum vroum (this means papa went to work in the car)
• En haut cho-cho (this is used the describe a train on a bridge)
  

Looking Forward

To more sunny days...

Science Center

Earlier this month I purchased a membership to the Science Center; that being said we went today. As you can see from this visual journal Christophe had a great time.

Crazy sensor thing that made a picture of you - this is C Monster's face since he decided to stick his face to the camera.



Last time we were at the Science Center C Monster wanted to spend all his time with the hot air balloon - I am glad his obsession only lasted a few minutes today.


Thanks to one of my friends I have a new appreciation for this building.



Lunch and conversation - C monster says " oh oh spaghetti-o, juice and raisin "


Driving - well not really just turning a wheel. When C Monster first turned this wheel the freight elevator right next to us opened. It took me 20 minutes to convince him the wheel had nothing to do with it.


Found a quite spot to cuddle and relax.


My little scientist at work. The Science Center had a workshop for toddlers here C Monster is discovering what happens to corn starch when you add water.

- Now the day would be perfect if the giggling in his room would stop and the C Monster would so to sleep so his papa can watch the hockey game Canada vs Russia that currently sits at 7-3 Canada leads. -
