Letter to my Littles | April 2016

Welcome to another installment of my letters to my littles – a glimpse of our life with two busy boys!

Dear Caleb and Liam,

It’s been another fun and busy (and slightly stressful) month.  We celebrated two birthdays – mine and and Liam’s!  Mine was spent picking out a new kitchen at Ikea and chasing you both around Science World.  The day trip to Vancouver was fun, but exhausting!

Caleb you learned a very hard lesson about being responsible for your things.  You left behind a small backpack at Ikea with a book, your iPod charger, your Nintendo DS and a few games, and $25. We called the Ikea security desk several times but these seem to be gone forever.  Sorry Caleb – a tough life lesson for sure.

But we did end up with a new family pet – a unicorn named Agnes!

Liam, your birthday celebrations were much more fun.  In addition to all the cakes you had with family, you had all your friends help you celebrate with a big Lego party.  Every person you invited came.  This also meant that we now own every Lego set in existence! You are such a well loved little boy.  It’s hard to believe you are 6 already.  Thank you for filling our lives with so much joy.  I love your zest for life.  The other day I found you lying on the front lawn professing your love of Spring time!  Then later you told me you often have trouble falling asleep at night and waking in the morning.  You said that you thought you were nocturnal and that maybe you should become a bat.  Seriously.  You crack me up!

Your new cousin Ethan was born the day before your birthday Liam.  He is the cutest little baby!  You are both smitten with him.  Me too!

Caleb you went with your best buddy Bryson to BrickCan in Vancouver for his birthday.  It’s shocking how much you have grown up  that you are now leaving the island on trips without us!  You are both so well loved by your friends.  In fact, everyday the doorbell rings with neighbourhood kids asking you to come outside and play.  It warms my heart to see how much others enjoy your company.

Thanks for all you patience as we start our big renovation project.  I can’t wait to cook and bake with you both in our new kitchen!

And here’s this month’s video – all about you Liam and all your birthday Lego!

I love you both,
Mama
