Charlotte Loves Baby Cam !









Charlotte really does LOVE Cameron ( or "Baby Cam" as her and Will like to call him ! ) It's crazy how grown up she looks sitting next to this little guy !




Snack Time
























A good snack was definitely in order after a full afternoon of crafting !!!




Playdough Pals





































































Lisa picked up some blue playdough for the kids and they dug right in ! It's really neat to see their attention span growing - they played with this for at least a full 30 - 45 mins :) Their minds were really working as they squished, poked, and rolled the dough. They even made hats and hair for Will's plastic farm animals! They certainly have come a long way since our first playdough attempt. ( See past posts ! )

*** Thank You to William's Baba for making these adorable smocks !!! ***

What A Pro !!!



Lisa picked up these great watercolour paints and Charlotte & Will made some beautiful art !! I loved watching them experiment with both the brushes & their hands - mixing the different colours & seeing what would happen ! (At one point Charlotte decided to try tasting the paint too. Good thing it's non-toxic!) I am SO happy that we are getting into crafts now ! I have many more fun ideas in store :)



Times Are Changing

So... I am FINALLY taking the time to blog - I am actually so sick right now ( I feel like I am on my death bed ! haha ) so I figured that I would at least try to do SOMEthing productive !

Well, as many of you that read this blog know ... the beginning of October marked my last day with Will since Lisa is on maternity leave for a year. ( Waa ! ) Don't get me wrong ... I am very happy that Lisa and Chris will get to spend more time with him - but I must admit that I miss him dearly !!! Me & Charlotte have been spending some nice quality time together, but I know that she misses him too !!

Jen, Dean, & I had been looking for another family to nanny share with - ( preferably part time so that I could still take care of Will for 2 days a week. ) It is a strange coincidence that after quite a bit of searching we are going to try things out with a very nice family and guess what the little boy's name is ?? WILLIAM :) I am looking forward to getting to know him :) Hopefully I can kick this sickness and officially start with him soon !

I still have quite a few pics from the couple of weeks we spent at Will's house before October started so I will be posting them soon !

High Park

















I took the cuties to High Park the other day to go to the Animal Zoo. They were SO excited and kept saying "animal park ! animal park !" all the way there. I got some nice shots of them at the entrance but unfortunately the camera battery was dead by the time we got to the actual zoo part of the park ! Although it was pretty chilly, Charlotte & Will still enjoyed themselves - they LOVED watching the ducks who kept on having "baths" in the llama's watering hole ! Their favourite thing by FAR was the giant Bison poop ! ( They have recently been learning all about poop & how everyone poops - even animals ! ) They talked about the poop ALL the way home ! They are easily pleased I must say !!
