Having Fun with Grandpa

Written by Chelle on Thursday, October 9th, 2008

Just to note … Ethan is so not potty trained! haha! In the morning we all have breakfast then go brush our teeth together. Becca will hop on the potty, so therefore Ethan wants to as well. At this point I am happy that he is happy to sit on the potty and be not stressed about it. That is just a potty seat on the toilet, something Becca was not comfortable with for a long time. I imagine this summer we will take a good shot at training, till then we can be non partial about it.

We have been having fun with Grandpa! We took a two hour hike through Pont Pleasant park (Ethan walked/ran so much!) Ethan woke up Tuesday morning (my Dad arrived late Monday night) a little surprised to see someone new in the apartment. However it did not take him long at all to get used to my Dad. Now they are totally pals.

We also took Grandpa to the library for storytime and he got to see Becca off to preschool. It is so nice to share the day to day stuff with him too! It has been so relaxing to do little and visit. I cleared my to do list before he arrived so I could just relax, and it is working out beautifully.

We are heading out to a cottage for Thanksgiving weekend. Chances are there will not be an internet connection. It is strange to think I am will be disconnected from my world.

Do you have plans this holiday weekend? (is it a holiday in the US?) Have a wonderful weekend and be safe, hug the ones you love and be thankful.

Edited to Add: Aimee is having some amazing contests in honour of Breast Conacer Awareness month. In fact, one lucky winner can win an amazing design by a fantastic girl you all know and love … check it out!

Thanksgiving is in November in the States, so we have no holiday weekend here. But I hope you and your family enjoy yours to the fullest….a cottage sounds like a wonderful getaway.

So much fun - a cottage for Thanksgiving :-). It’s Colombus day, but that’s mostly not celebrated. Amazingly, I think Darren may have it off. I should check on that :-).

DL is in the plans for Sun., soccer for Sat. It’s becoming a pattern.

We used to always go to my cottage for Thanksgiving with ALL of my family. It was great!

Is there a holiday here?!? Either way…malls will still be open!

We will be celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving!

Grandpas are the best! Glad they had fun!

I didn’t realize Canada had it’s own Thanksgiving (you can totally tell that school history lessons in NZ involved only NZ history and a smidgen of everywhere else!) Hope you have a fabulous time in the cottage!
I am relieved to find out that Ethan is NOT toilet trained - that WW photo had me panicking about Theo and his love of nappies! We have a LONG summer of toileting training coming up!

Ethan looks so grown up. I love when Max runs and tires himself out for the day. I am glad you guys are getting some good time with grandpa. Enjoy.
