Jayson's First Speech

Jayson did a great job of his speech today!  He was nervously swaying as he said it, but he did it with no prompting from his teacher, in front of all the parents and the kindergarten and grade one classes.   I'm a little biased, but I have to say he was the cutest one there.   Benjamin had a little squabble at the back with another baby his age.  The baby tried to take a book from Benjamin and Benjamin was not pleased. He yelled so loudly he drowned out the kindergarteners' speeches.  I guess his sweet little baby days are ending and the toddler days are reminding us they are coming!

Just So He's Not Left Out

Jayson is doing his first speech at school!  It's thirty seconds long and in French.  I told him he could lick a beater if he said it for the camera.  Voila:

Emily Loves to Sing

And she takes good care of her little brother too!

"The Culprits" or "Jay's Future Profession"?

Jay and Emily are good kids.....but sometimes good kids can get themselves into trouble.  Like the time Jayson coloured on the couch, or the time Emily decided to take off her clothes at church.  Last week we had another example of this in our otherwise calm and peaceful household.

Looking back on the Olympics

Blogging today about the Watoto Choir, it reminded me that we hadn't yet blogged about our Olympic experience.

First off, Emily is doing very well with singing our National Anthem.  In fact, we find her singing it all over the house, in the car, and in various random places outside.  We as a family watched the Olympics that first week and decided to just do a quick trip down to take in the atmosphere.  It worked out fairly well since Teri came with us and we met Mark downtown.
Here are some of the pictures from that day.  Enjoy

We caught a CTV newscast downtown.
