Random Sundays:Kids Are Funny

My baby girl has been really cute and silly lately.
First, she insists on going into the sunroom, having me cover her with a handkerchief and close the door.  Then she pretends to be “sleepeez” for a few seconds, before she comes back in and has me do it all again.

And she found her baby seat recently.  Now it’s become the best lazyboy seat in the house for watching Elmo and Yo Gabba Gabba.

Kids are so funny!

Happy Canada Day!

Get outside.  
Have some fun.  
Happy Canada Day!

You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby

She got a tricycle for her birthday *which was yesterday* – and she loves it.  
Is it possible to sleep on a tricycle?
My, my, how far she’s come in two years.

No-Bake Chocolate Brownie Bites

I made gluten/dairy free Coconut Brownie Bites as a dessert recently because I was having an uncontrollable chocolate craving. *well, that’s not true, I can control it.  I just don’t want to*   As you can tell they were a hit with more than just me.

Healthy and delicious, she can certainly have these.  But just one…Andrew took her to the grocery store after and he told me she was totally wired.  Bouncing up and down in her stroller, singing, and talking non-stop.  I’m just glad she was with him and not with me,”I just gave her chocolate.  Here you go, she’s your problem now.”

If you want to make these easy no-bake treats you can go here.  Or if you’re lazy, like me, here’s the recipe quoted directly from her site:

Coconut Brownie Bites –
Ingredients:

  • 10 pitted Medjool Dates
  • 3/4 Cup Walnuts
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 Tbs Maple Syrup
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut

What Do I Do?

  1. Use a food processor to pulse the walnuts into crumbs
  2. Add all other ingredients and blend until mixture forms a ball
  3. Form mixture into small balls and roll in coconut.

We bought a vacuum. She thinks we bought her a really big box.

Random Sundays: Major Props

Early birthday present from Grandma and Grandpa, coupled with an afternoon spent at the splash pad and park warrants some major props wouldn’t you say?

Mama and Dad, you guys done good! Keep it up.

Stolen Hats And Playful Pats

I think this new toddler stage is my favorite.  There’s a new word almost everyday, a new action or discovery everyday, and more fun and games.  Mama’s hats are stolen and worn throughout the afternoon because they’re a lot more fun than her own, cardboard boxes are the ideal toys until they rip and a chorus of  ‘Uh-ohs’ commences with a lower lip stuck out further than I thought possible, and hugs and kisses are given freely and playfully complete with a tiny hand patting you on the back and a little nose nuzzling your neck.

Random Sundays: Not Now

Top & Jeans – Gap
Scarf – c/o Imagine Gnats

 After the crazy busy week I’ve had, I’m glad to be able to relax all morning and afternoon today.  True, there’s a rehearsal this evening, but that’s this evening….not now. 

Random Sunday: Little Drummer Girl

I think we’ve got a drummer on our hands.
There go my ears…
