Accident at the Library!

Today we decided to visit Ms. Lisa at the Early Years Center run out of G.L Armstrong. We unfortunately got there late so the kids didn't really get to play but we were able to join in for family tales and tunes. I was a little worried that Jackson would freak and not want to stay and sing but he actually quite enjoyed it. I think it helped that Evan was there so he had a friend to sit with.
Spencer loved listening to everyone sing as he crawled around visiting with everyone. 

So I decided afterwards that I would take the kids over to the library to pick out some new books and to let Jackson get some play time in as he missed it over at the OEYC. We get into the library and I let him run ahead while I return some books and also grab a book for myself. I finally get to the back of the library to the kids section and low and behold what do I see but a bare bum that belongs to my son! Jackson has peed his pants and decided to take them off so he can continue to play on the computer! I rush over and ask what happened and he nonchalantly tells me he's peed his pants or in his words "me peed" Did he ever! There was a puddle on the carpet, his pants were just dripping wet and so were his shoes.Well because I was only running into the library for a quick minute, guess where my diaper bag was? You got it, in the car! Well poor Spencer is asleep in the car seat so I have to ask a nice mom who was playing with her son at the train table if she could keep on eye on my sleeping baby while I rush out to the car to get dry clothes for Jackson. So off I head out of the library but guess who wants to follow; JACKSON. He goes racing out of the library bare bum and all as we reach the door he beats me out of it and in doing so he jumps out right in front of a little old lady and her walker shocking and surprising her all at once! (I don't think she expected to see a half naked boy come barrelling out of the library on her trip down the street). I apologise for my son, head to the car and get some dry clothes and all is well. So back into the library we go for run two!
Ah the life of having a potty training toddler!

So here I am again apologizing for not writing. This is definitely something that needs to stop! I need to write on a more consistent basis and I will, this time no excuses. It must be done.

Let's see if I can get you caught up on what's going on with the boys.

Spencer is now 9 months old and I can't believe it. He's crawling and standing and moving around pretty good. He is such a funny little baby. I love every minute of the day I have with him, he makes me smile and laugh and really shows me what life as a mom is all about.

Jackson is 3 now, and we have our days in regards to listening and following instructions but for the most part he is a joy to be around. Just the things he says and does make me howl. I catch myself asking if he was 'born in a barn' because of some of the things he does. He is out of diapers now and it only took a year!

We've had a great couple of days with the weather being really warm. Friday we went to the park and played. Spencer got to sit on the grass for the first time which he didn't really care for so he kept to the blanket.

Saturday we heading to the University of Guelph's College Royale Open House. Always a good time there. Jackson got to operate on Curious George at the Teddy Bear Surgery. He also got to try his hand at juggling and play nerf gun wars which he had a blast at both.

Today he got to go see The Lorax with Daddy at the movie theater which he told me was a lot of fun. After that we enjoyed most of the day outside in the backyard. Jackson helped clean up all the leaves which he thought was great. He also got to go worm hunting, a very fun game for him to play.

Happy Thanksgiving!

What a beautiful sunny warm Thanksgiving weekend we had! Temp was about 22-27 degrees all weekend! We had a great time visiting with my family on Saturday and with Nana and Nanu today!

Hay Ride at the Rutka Farm

We took a trip out to the Rutka Farm one last time before they move for a bbq today and Jackson got to go on a hay ride which he loved! Just the excitement of being up on the wagon when it's moving is something Jackson just loves.

Spencer also went on the wagon ride, don't think he really cared if he was on it or not but it was still fun taking him.

Sad that this was our last trip out to the farm before the Rutka's move!

Spencer rolled today!

What another great day we had! The weather was awesome again today so we headed down to Auntie Laura's for a trip to the park!

Jackson-hold hands
Jackson-I'm hungry

Spencer rolled over today! Wow this little boy is so amazing! I can't believe how quick he is growing! Already rolling over on me! What's next!?

Well here I go again it's been I bit since I last filled you all in on what's been going on in our lives! I definitely need to work on writing our days down!

It has been a blast of a summer, we've been to festivals, and parades and cottages and swimming pools and the list goes on and on.

It's been great watching Jackson grow another day older, listening to him speak full sentences now and question things and also tell you about things. I just cannot believe the leaps and bounds he's made. It's happy but sad moment. Happy he's growing up but sad at the same time!

Today was a great day for the 3 of us. I decided to take the kids to the OEYC at Limeridge and what a great walk we had there. We stopped by the garden over in the townhouse complex around the corner from the house and Jackson pointed out all the bees and flowers and was telling me about the colours and wanting me to smell them. We followed a grasshopper around for a minute or two watching in hop and fly around it was awesome to watch Jackson get so excited over it all!

Tonight we had Dylan and Raina over to play and again another great moment of watching Jackson interact with the kids. He turns into such a little person, asking questions, pointing things out to them. I really enjoy watching him interact with other children now! I mean we still have the melt downs if they have his toy but he actually wants to play with them now which is good to see!

As for Spencer, he is so amazing what a great baby! I couldn't ask for anything better (well maybe that 3rd child that I would love to have) he so laid back and easy going! I hope he keeps that tempermant it would really make me happy! Well he's decided it about time he learnt to roll over! Which he is almost there once he figures out how to get that arm out from under him he'll be off to the races!

Bye my toys

As we are leaving the house yesterday, Jackson turns to his toys and says bye my toys. It was such a cute thing to see! He's putting together sentences now like crazy, he told Irene that he was on his way for a bbq. "Me go to bbq now see you soon" he says. I love it! At the bbq he comes up to me and says " mama the girl no play with me" and I asked him if he had asked her to play and he said no, so I told him to go ask her to play and he did! "You play with me as he takes her hand and leads her to the climbers!


Spencer is awesome too! He has now realized he can play with his toys when he's on his playmat!
