Big Days in Every Direction


Yesterday, Burl, Ivo and I went on a playdate at Lindsay, Ben and Mellissa's house. It was our first non-family playdate and we all had fun. Their family is a perfect age match for ours- even though Bena nadBurl really didn't play together - I'm sure that each was happy that the other was playing right there alongside him. Ivo was super-reluctant to leave - SUPER RELUCTANT. Cartoonish even.
Later on Tuesday, the boys went out in what I'd call lined-windbreaker-pants (but not snow pants) with Gail for an hour,playing in the yard. They had lotsa fun. Monday after school, I took the boys to Connell Pk cuz it was nice but COLD - we almost stayed an hour. Ivo was fine - even did a freezing outdoor pee - but poor little Burl was quite uncomfortable. Burl kinda looked like a 5-point start withhis coat,mittens and hat on - he was somewhat stiff.
I didn't take pictures outside cuz I'm pretty sure it's not great for the camera to get all cold and then warm up, covered in condensation - I've gotta check the manual - but I'm just going on instinct now. I'll save the camera for the snow!!! I think snow may be coming this week!

These pics are from last night.

Today, Ivo's got a dr's appt - his first in Canada. I guess it's a meet-and-greet/well-baby/kid visit but I'd made the appt right afterwe took him to the er on 5 Nov. He seems fine, but I have a few questions and want him seen anyway.

A tiny bit of Burl BabelOn:
  • When told we're about to go upstairs Burl wailed, "NO! NO! NO!" I laughed and asked him Who-do-you-think-you-are? to which he answered, "Bur(l)."

  • Burl says a versions of "Lightning McQueen," "bobby" for booby, "sun," "moon," "water," "bottle," "bubbles."
  • As of a day or two ago when Burl says "Daddy?" we can now ask him Where-is-Daddy? and Burl answers, "Schoo(l)."
