green monster attack

Levi invented this monster all by himself by pulling his shirt over his head. Then he started attacking us and chasing us around the house. Too much fun!

Maplewood Farm Oct.2

The family took the chance on this sunny day to visit our animal friends at Maplewood Farm. As we drove around the last corner on our way there, Levi cheered, "yay!". The memory on this kid! The goats and lambs are always our favourite. But the bunnies, chickens and other animals did not get neglected.

Fish!

We went to Capilano fish hatchery bright and early this morning to see the salmon run. They have this great set-up there where you can see a channel where the fish are swimming and jumping upstream. Levi got a kick out of it.

Levi is working on his fish stories and he saw one 'this big'! (Some of them really were that big and bigger)

apples and pears

Levi has been fascinated by the pears and apples growing on the trees at our complex. Dad is kind enough to let Levi get a close up look and pick his own fruit. It has become a ritual now and we're not sure how he'll take it when apple/pear season is over.

Saturday fun

We took our regular walk to the park this afternoon and stopped at both the slide and the creek. Dad and Levi love to throw sticks down the waterfall just to make mom nervous.
Levi got a new pet: a horse! He is great at climbing on it and rocking all by himself. He also climbs on the couch and plays the ukelele even before mom can get his stroller packed up and take his shoes off.

grooming

Levi is very keen on brushing his teeth and does so at least 3 times a day. He also loves to brush his hair and 'put on make-up'. He hasn't figured out how to open my blush yet. Maybe when it is empty he can have it. He hasn't seen Dad shave for awhile so we don't need to buy him a raser, although he does sometimes use the shaving brush in the bath. The little monkey just loves do anything 'grown-up'.

trains and playdough

Levi loves his train from Auntie Kim and his cousins. He'll spend minutes (trust me, more than one is a long time for Levi) rearranging the blocks and is now starting to push it around on the carpet.

I made playdough for Levi on the weekend. Well, for all of us, I suppose. I have been looking forward to making playdough for my child for a long time. Levi was reasonably impressed and interested but I think Dad was the most into it.
