Oh WEs!

So we are at the jungle gym in the Rec. Centre and Wes says hi to all the older girls so they would play with him.  Sometimes, his strategy works, other times, they just say hello to him and leaves.  The younger girls he approaches often times wants to play their own game and not follow and play with him at all times.  Funny how that works.

Today at the playground he also bit a baby toddler on the hand because he approach him and wanted to play.  He had a timeout with tears and all the drama with it.

Part a y!

Today we hosted a get together with Bry's work friends.  We had Hector and Anna (His graduate students), Stephanie, Suzette, Covy and family of six.  Really was enjoyable, good conversations and break from monotony.  Little wes love the company so much he was really fighting me during bath time.

Miss Ari

Dear Ari,

At 8 months and 2 weeks old, real age (7 months old) we are so proud of your development.  You love to giggle when tickled.  I love throwing you up in the air, and see a big smile on your face.  So much fun now, love to interact and make sounds of your own.  Mom and dad have to be careful where we place you on the bed now, because your can roll from tummy to back and vice versa.

Sweet Ari

Dear Wes

I love how you try to quiet your baby sister when  she is being fussy.  You look in her eyes and ssshh her.  Sometimes it is a success.  Most of the time, you tend to annoy the heck out of each other.

I am just amazed by your language development. You can say ok, yes, no, gao (tall) and even yu (fish) in Gong gong's house. I also love how I can tell you about today's event and you understand it all and get so very excited!

My boy is growing up.

2 week Mom aka "the Water Pusher"

Yesterday was Wes' last day at swim lesson. Even though I paid $45 for the lessons it became water play.  Oh well. Later last night, we took Wes and Ari to Art City Carnival.  He got to ride on 3 rides and was most difficult to remove from the premise but what do you expect , he's two (almost three).

Wes is very into robot lately so tonight before bedtime he said mama look up at robot. Then we proceeded to throw things at it. I ask him what are we throwing to robot he said poop. We end up doing this about ten times before he would settle down and go to bed.

Some Days Swimming is Misery

So today was day 5 of swim lessons.  Wes is such a pill when he is with me, all the things you think he learned before like jumping into water, blowing bubbles is all but gone. Swim Lady told me kids do better without their moms.  No S$u!.  I just have to endure one more day of pulling him out of the water, and scream crying all the way to the car.

Next time, he can do swim lessons with his father.
