Our little angel

Lady at COSTCO today: She's such a little angel!
Draya: I'm not an angel, I'm Draya.

A quick Draya update

Draya put rice up her nose tonight. I guess it was bound to happen eventually.
This morning she insisted on calling honey "buzz spread". I'm not sure where she leaned it but it sure is creative!
Yesterday, when she spied a banana in the fruit bowl that had been cut in half she exclaimed "Oh No! Banana broken!"
This morning Draya was so excited about giving her daddy the Father's Day card that she picked out that she waited in the bathroom for him to finish his shower and gave it to him as soon as he was done.
We went to IKEA today and she had fun playing with the toys and testing all of the beds and cribs. We bought her a new bedside table and a wall clock for her room.

Library Book Love

Currently, some of Draya's favorite bed time stories are books that I picked up at the library. Mercer Mayer's Just Grandma and Me and Just Fishing with Grandma and Sandra Boynton's Going to Bed Book and Not the Hippopotamus (which we used to own but lost). They are two of her favourite authors. She is going to be heartbroken when it is time to return them! I have already renewed the Mercer Mayer ones once already. Mommy may have to do some shopping...

Do De Rubber Duck & The Singing Orange

I want to make sure that I can find this link again

Like all of the other catchy Sesame Street shorts Draya loves it!

She also had me play this one over and over again tonight

Maybe this means she's developing a taste for opera. She was singing and bowing along with it by the 5th time we saw it!

A warm lesson

Today Draya learned that when it's hot outside the sand in the playground gets really hot too. It's best to keep on your shoes! The slides get hot as well. After a shorter than usual visit to the park we went for Popsicles instead.

St Albert Children's Festival

Today we went to Kid's Fest with L & P & I & G and H & T & J.
It was VERY hot out!
We ate pancakes and made photo frames. The little ones enjoyed the bouncer tents and we all watched a play called "GlouGlou" that was aimed at 2-4 year olds but even we parents enjoyed it. It was Draya's first official play and she was very well behaved. She sat quietly on P's lap for the whole 45 min and clapped at the end.
Then we had lemonade and pizza.
Draya fell asleep almost as soon as we put her in the car and she has been sleeping since. Almost 2.5 hours now! She had lots of fun but I guess it really wiped her out!!
