Winter Nature Tots

I honestly didn't realise how much we had (both) missed our weekly outdoor adventures with nature tots until today. The MUN Botanical Gardens has set up shop in Bowring park for the winter with 3 parent and tot sessions every Friday. Today we hit the 9am session. At first we were the only ones there, but we were later joined by another little girl. D had a blast! He is such the creature of habit and totally remembered step step the flow of nature tots. We fed the ducks and walked around and saw some bunny footprints. The highlight though was seeing a bald eagle. I have never seen an eagle right in the city before, it was wild! I managed to snap a couple quick pics.

A Joke from D

D just came out to tell me a joke :D

D: Knock Knock
Mom: Whose there?
D: Canoe
Mom: Canoe who?
D: Canoe fly

Pretty good for a 3 year old! I think he got it from one of his Leap Frog Tag books. Love that thing! One of the best toys/ preschool educational activities around. I'll have to try and do a full review later.

The great stroller debate

I think we have decided on getting the "quinny buzz".




I learned my lesson the first time round. Where strollers are concerned you really do get what you pay for. We've had the quinny zapp for a few years and it has been used and abused without any problems at all. So after seeing a video on youtube showing how the buzz works it was an easy sell. The debate factor had been whether or not to get a stroller that we could put both D and the baby in. We looked at the Phil and Ted and the Joovy caboose. But because d is now 45lbs none of the options would last him long. Also he is pretty good about not running off now and stuff and I figure if there were a need for both kiddos to be in a stroller dh could take one and I the other.

Mr. Snowman

Dylan and I went out and made a snowman ... some wet! But not at all cold. Midway through dh came home and started snowblowing. We finished the snowman and were able to make lunch before dh was finished... so he had lunch with us which was nice! Pics on our photo site http://www.dougstuff.net/photos

Kicked

DH finally felt baby Niko kick last night He has been kicking tons for a while... but dh kept missing it lol

Britax Frontier Recall Fix

Finally got the addition to the Britax Frontier; as per the recent recall. Not much to it at all, just little caps to go on the end of the buckle thingy. Seemed like it took forever to come. We hadn't been experiencing the problem... but I had read about others complaining of the recalled issue on http://www.car-seat.org/


Remember peoples if you ever notice anything with your seat(s) that just does not seem right you should report it to Transport Canada, don't wait until something happens to you or someone else. This is how recalls works... people have to complain. Their # 1-800-333-0371.

You can check their website for the most recent notices;

Productivity!

Well i had an awesome day! Started gutting out d's room to be... the wall stickers from the UK arrived this week and i really wanna get his room done asap. i would like to have him in the new room for about a month before we change his old room into the baby's nursery. During the process we got into a stalemate about the whole desk situation. Our current desk is way too big for our shared space... so we went on the hunt for a new one! Actually we were thinking we would have to get a desk and a table.. but I found the most perfect desk for the space and on sale for $50 lol Still going to have to use our current printer cart / microwave stand.. but it's all good.

i also got the paint for D's room, and wanted to order a border for baby's nursery but can't do that until Monday. We got Niko a bassinet at walmart too.. it wasn't the animal one but a new one they got in with turtles and frogs on it. Really cute and the style i wanted. Woot woot!
