The day After

Which is today!

Sleeping was fun. Trying to combat 2 days of blood filled sugar sure was tough.
We were all tired but that didn't matter.

All I heard was "More T-Dee!"

But the next morning at DayCare was more emotional than usual.

Hey doesn't this photo look like it was straight out of Lord Of the Rings: The Two Towers you know the scene when Treebeard picks up Merry and Pippin in the forest.

Or when the Orcs were carrying them back to Sauruman. Your choice.

At the end of the day it was all hugs and kisses for the birthday boy.

Two! There it is.

2 Years in Review:

The road up to this point has taken two years to get to.
From being in a nice warm happy place where food was on demand and no diapers to change. To being evicted into a cold world with 4 seasons, and income tax and forms to fill out.

Then there was the upside and that's exposure to new sensations. Eating, and peeing and pooping and Baby Einstein.



Next it was exposure to the working world.
Earning my keep was one way to stay ahead.
And also learning that new clothes should always be washed or else rashes can be a common occurance.




It was a tumble down the stairs on New Years Eve that attempted to slow down my progress. But it was a minor set back that didn't really have much of an impact.




Animals everywhere. Some we eat and some we play with.
In some places we've visited they do both.
Not in that order though.





A whirlwind trip to the other side of the planet.
Even with food allergies (epi-pen was always close by), and many time changes, it was worth it to experience the different people, cultures and most importantly... food.

Sleeping was an option here and it seemed to continue on back home too.

Not sure if we would attempt to enter and exit through 5 airports, but it was certainly a learning (& tiring) experience.


Learning to skate on a slippery surface.
Always remember to protect the noodle.








Daycare was also a new thing in the past year. It is a place of learning. Especially meeting new friends.

Except when it comes to Thomas the Tank Engine. In which case...you can become Public Enemy No. #1. No matter how cute you may be.





Time to get ready for the big day! Need to wash up and smell good for the guests.







Never knew a soy-egg-dairy-nut-free cake could be so good.
I LIKE IT!

Happy Birthday Kieran! Wow, two already? That's really great! Hey we should get-together sometime so we can babble, play and have healthy snacks together. I'm really curious about what it's like to be two, maybe you can give me a heads up. I'm curious, when I'm two do I get to tell mommy and daddy what to do?

Hey who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!

Or should I call a Ghostwhisperer? There was a ghost chasing me this morning! It was only 2-1/2 feet tall but scary enough.
I think he was looking for his Thomas and cookies.

I don't think it meant me any harm, I think he was just hungry and wanted his mama.

Chicken and the egg

It was a Slo-Cro Easter weekend for the kiddies.
There was a large bunny laying eggs all over the place.
He even read the story of Easter for all the kids.

Not sure if Kieran was scared of him or if he was just looking at him and thinking, who are you trying fool, bunnies don't lay eggs?
In any case Kieran was there to take in and embrace his european heritage.


It didn't matter that it was slightly wet outside. Well, until someone stepped into a mud bog. Then it was a different story.

Rain or mud, the kiddies went looking for the coloured egs.
Maximum of ten per Slo-Cro kid.



Nothing was going to stop this guy from getting his hands on 10 suprise-filled eggs.
Not even a ruskie hat that was way too big.





All that mattered in the end was the nutritional value of what was in these eggs.
Forget about the eggs with toys and prizes, gimme the ones filled with glucose, sucrose and sugar-ose!





Don't worry mama, the sugar won't stay in my body for long.
In fact it's on it's way out now!

BTW....Happy Birthday MAMA.
