Voyeur

Jameson is officially a voyeur! We were doing some shopping at Kohls when he took a quick peek up the manequin's dress. He was looking for her vagina. Let's just hope and pray that he doesn't graduate to real people. I will die of embarrassment!

Neighbour Kids

Our neighbours are wonderful. There are two boys Kannal and Akil (yes, I'm sure I spelled them wrong, that is just how they sound) who are 9 and 6. My boys (especially Jameson) look up to them and love playing with them. The bonus, the neighbours love playing with my boys! It's a win win situation. Even better, Jameson wants to do everything Kannal does. When Jameson falls off his bike he stands up, shakes it off and gets back on....because that's what Kannal does. So cool! When Jameson picks his nose I say, "Oh, Kannal doesn't pick his nose". The finger comes out immediately. It's great! I love having great neighbours; we had them in Windsor and we have them here! Yay!

Preschool

Today was the first official orientation at preschool. For those who have not heard, both Jameson and Stellan will be going to school in September. (Yippee!! Horray!!! Oh wait, am I supposed to be sad?) Jameson will be going Tuesday, Thursday and Friday for 2 and a half hours each day in the morning. Stellan will be going Tuesday and Thursday for 2 and a half hours in the morning as well. Yes folks, that calculates to 2 and a half hours, two days a week (5 hours total) of kid-free time. What on Earth will I do with myself?
Back to orientation.....the kids were in their respective classrooms where they were able to play and meet other little preschool friends. Very informal but a great way to get them comfortable. They both seem quite excited although I'm not sure Stellan understands that he will also be attending; he thinks it's just for Jameson.
Bad news, I have to potty train Stellan. That's my mission for this summer. Any prayers sent on our behalf are much appreciated! :)

Snot

Poor Stellan is a bit under the weather. He is producing large amounts of snot due to this. The little stinker still has not figured out how to blow his nose so we end up wiping it constantly. In order to alleviate snot blockage and hopefully encourage learning how to blow, I pulled out the trusty aspirator today. One look at it caused him to scream and flail with all of his might. I had to call for back up and reinforcements. James came in to hold his arms while I steadied his head in the crook of my elbow. With tears streaming down his face he looked at me and said, "Mommy, you're bad". Ouch, the first arrow strikes right in the heart. I gathered my courage and gently shoved the fear inducing contraption up his left nostril. I sucked out some snot, emptied it into the sink and then repeated the process. Much more screaming followed as well as, "Mommy, you're all done". So sad and pathetic. Jameson came in to see what we were doing to his brother. He took one look at the aspirator and said, "Do it to me!". Well, he asked for it. I inserted it into his nostril, tried to suction (no snot in there nor any boogers due to constant nose picking, although the nasty habit is getting better...more on that later). Jameson thought it was hysterical. He laughed so hard and then told me to do it to the other nostril. After 2 more hysterical outbursts I told him we were done. Poor Stellan was confused. He hated the procedure yet his brother found such hilarity in it. So much so that Jameson asked me to get the other aspirator from the medicine cabinet and do it again.
Go figure, Jameson already knows how to blow his nose.

Make a Smilebox postcard

This is such a cool site! My friend Amy introduced me to Smilebox so I decided to upload some photos. So much fun. Bear with me, it was my first attempt but I'll be sure to do more. Enjoy!

Sorry

Wow, that last post was long! Sorry the pictures are so small. I hope to be back soon with more updates that some of you have been asking for!
Goodnight!
