We went up to Calgary for the weekend to celebrate (1) Connor’s 5th birthday, (2) my mom’s 70th birthday, and (3) Erin’s bachelorette party. We stayed at a hotel, and like last time, the kids had a tough time settling in to bed and waking up early, so again we didn’t get any good rest.
We have been reading the Big Bad Wolf these last couple of months. Both kids like this story. Everett I think understands what is going on, but Sierra just like the repetition of what the wolf says and the pigs’s response. They point out things like how the wolf has an ow-wee bum when it’s set on fire down the chimney. Once, Everett got mad and said he was going to lock us out of the house, and if we tried to get in, he’d start a fire in the fireplace and we’d get an ow-wee bum if we tried coming down the chimney.
Here’s Sierra recounting her favorite part of the story. She is still substituting the word “my” for “I” for everything so it’s “Then my huff and my huff and my blow your house down!”
We stopped by Cross Iron Mills and had a look at the bookstore. The kids picked out a whole bunch of books as daddy was feeling generous that day. We needed a refresh a some new books and I ended up spending more than we probably should have on some Moana books, a space and dino book for Everett, and a nice Disney princess collection.
