You Know What They Say About Assumptions...

After a quick trip to the mall, I removed Avi from the stroller to "lock and load" her into the van while Shawn took care of installing Taylor. It wasn't until several hours later that I realized that while I had assumed Shawn would load up the stroller, he, uh, hadn't. Thankfully, the stroller was still present in the parking lot when I went back to retrieve it!

Weeeeeeeee!

The exit from Shawnessy Blvd to Macleod Trail in southern Calgary is a long, curving ride that always inspires Avi to go "Weeeeeeeeeeeee!" I was surprised, however, when Avi's powers of observation led her to start her Wee chorus when just approaching the overpass!

Off Work

Today was my last day of work. Technically, my mat leave doesn't start until the end of April but I'm using up my vacation days. Wehoo! I already have a list of home org chores... *sigh*

Wrestling

It does a parent's heart much good to see her children playing nicely together! In the past, this was mostly limited to chasing each other on tricycles in the basement or building mega-block towers together. This morning, a mutually enjoyable game of "wrestling" occurred.

While Taylor was sitting on the floor, Avi hurled herself at him in a sort of "hugging" position, toppling the two of them over. Taylor would then roll them over to disengage her arms. They both thought this was great fun and laughed together, repeating the process many times... I [heart] my kids!!
