Visiting With Grandad

Last week my father stayed with us and had a great time with his grandsons. We didn’t do anything particularly special, but we had every sort of weather to do it in. We did spend some time at Granville Island, some time sledding, and Aidan and Dad had a bit of adventure time.

Grandad and the boys talking about anchors at Granville Island.

  • This is what my dad brought from NS. The boys are thrilled. http://campl.us/Bhk #
  • I told Aidan at least 20 times today to take things out of his mouth. He is now hysterical because he swallowed a penny by accident. #
  • Amazingly I had a point when telling him not to put things in his mouth. He wasn't comforted with how it will come out. #
  • He now has worked up to vomiting. #
  • Bird Brain, a review of @CarouselTheatre 's latest production: http://bit.ly/gbAD1x Aidan's vlog to come tomorrow. #
  • Grandad and the boys by the fountain. http://instagr.am/p/Bx4UE/ #

  • Waiting in the car for Aidan, and Lennon's Imagine just came on over the loudspeaker. I hope that Aidan had a good day in his pink shirt. #
  • When some of the boys said pink wasn't a good colour for boys he said "I'm wearing pink to show you shouldn't bully people." I love my son. #
  • Thinking about how things change, I wish I'd had the guts to get Aidan the purple sparkle shoes he wanted at 3 and 4. #
  • My boys are too cute for words: http://bit.ly/g0Lwdc #
  • Holy crap, I will register Quinlan for preschool next thursday. Wow, it is so hard to believe he will go in the fall. #
  • Trains are always a hit in our house. http://instagr.am/p/B2EaV/ #
  • I am thinking of being rude to my visiting dad and going down for a nap. Think he'll miss me if he has his grandson nearby? #

Brothers

Aidan took the time to push his brother all around the playground several times, causing many parents and caregivers to comment on what nice brothers these two are. Despite all the friction that is sibling rivalry there is so much love between these two. Not many other siblings at drop off and pickup time kiss and hug their little brothers. I love my boys.

"Aitan, push me!"

"Hello World!"
