Skating

Once a week John takes Meadow skating for preschool skating. She has come a long way. She is now able to walk on the skates and stands alone on the ice. She still needs help for balance but she is well on her way to hockey.

Pre-Christmas Festivities

Well now that we are back to reality after the Holidays, it seems I'm a bit behind in my blogging. (Just so everyone knows, that has nothing to do with my 2 week reading obsession of the Twilight series because Christmas hadn't even started by then.) But yes I have been a bit preoccupied with this series. It's the best series I have ever read, even if it is geared for teenagers. If I didn't have kids I would make a blog totally dedicated to Twilight instead of my own life. HAHA!

Anyways...

All the kidies at the Friend's Christmas party

Meadow is opening her Cabbage Patch baby named Meadow. Thank you Gillian!

Friesen's Breakfast with Santa

Meadow and Gillian having a night snack after their bath. Soon enough this event will be prolonged with Gillian actually sleeping over...oh how time flies!

These two on the other hand...no sleepover for you Lexi!

Meadow's Music Video

Meadow has learned some songs.
Here's the line-up: Le Clown Samuel, Robot-to, Jonny Appleseed, Petit Papa Noël, Pas Capable de Tirer Ma Vache and Jesus Loves Me. Sorry about the poor quality...Enjoy!

And so it begins...

Here are some corny pictures we took by our Christmas tree. Man is it ever hard to get a good picture of 2 kids!

Oh wow! being so gentle!

Rex loves the "tummy time" (that expression is too cheesy, even for me and I love the cheese)

And she isn't even touching him. She has come a long way!

A visit from Mémère and Pépère

Milestones in November

We have been taking some pretty BIG steps in the Letkeman home this month.

Rex is starting to smile and respond to people's voices (especially his mom's because he loves her the most). He is also developing a love/hate relationship with his sister. When he sees her approach you can almost see him cringe and brace himself for whatever is about to happen. However, he also looks around whenever he hears her talking. (Probably because he wants to insure her distance at all times.)

Meadow continues to SMOTHER (word of the year) her brother and just can't get enough of him. She also has big news... After many months of talking about it and trying without any success, Meadow has finally peed and pooped in the toilet. All it took was a phone call from her good friend Gillian to tell her that she had "pooped in the potty"! She has been accident free at home for 3 days and is well on her way! YEAH!

"It's potty time! It's potty time! When it goes beep beep, it's potty time!" (Potty time song)

Baking muffins for our peeps at Elmwood School

"Oh oh here she comes, watch out boy she'll chew you up!"

Big smiles

More big smiles!

"Oh ma gad!"

Ahh! That's better!

Go Habs Go!
