Produce

We think so much about Christian that we sometimes forget to think about ourselves. Occasionally, Christian goes to bed early and we get a little time to ourselves. This time, we were prepared for it!

Yummy stuff.

Cheers!

Ahh. Relaxation time.

This weekend, we went as a clan (there was an even dozen of us) to the Collingwood Children’s Farm, where Christian finally met all those animals that he knows the sounds of. Moooooo!

Cluck cluck!

It was a really nice and sunny day.

Shopping with grandparents

You know, grandchildren get spoilt by their grandparents, but isn’t that what grandparents are for?

Question: What happens when you buy a chocolate bunny for a toddler?

Answer: He figures out how to unwrap it in less than a minute and makes a mess!

They haven’t even moved from the car park yet (you can see the trolleys in the background)!

Busily chewing on the ears.

Not surprisingly, he looks happy.

The other grandparents took him shopping and let him run free in Toys ‘R Us. As you can see, he will attempt to escape and climb even if he doesn’t need to.

Drinking and driving.

This toy looks good…

He was very patient while granddad had some fun putting it together.

Well, reasonably patient.

Growing up

Our boy is no longer a baby. He’s a toddler! Over the last couple of weeks, he has learnt to express himself with words (with a little bit of interpretation by us!). He’s using three languages too – English, French and Arabic (unfortunately, not much Chinese), as well as his own invented words.

A mixture of photos:

Deciding what kind of garden he would like to have… One with lots of water and stones!

You can fill watercans with other things than water.

And stones!

Trying to turn on the tap with telekinesis. He’s hopeful.

Uncle Rafik teaching him that you can learn about the world without using Google.

Sometimes, you don’t need expensive toys to keep him occupied (but more toys is always better!)

He’s got a bit of growing still to do.

The magnetic attraction of the mighty television.

Of course, this picture will be shown at his 21st birthday. Every child must have one of these photos hidden in their albums!
