Our little family ritual

Every Saturday morning we all take Nikyla to dance class, then after class we make our outting. Clothes shopping, grocery shopping, whatever comes up, a little family trip. Last weekend we had a half decent trip to the shopping center and then on Sunday we went to the Wave Pool. The girls just loved it.
This weekend is the Kids Learning and Growing Fair, presenting Bob the Builder. The fun just never stops...

Princess in Training

I know that there are many parents out there that have difficulties giving their children medicine. Luckily to this point both kids have liked medicine. Nikyla has had a bit of a sore throat and a cough lately and a low grade fever. Tonight I was giving her something for her cough, the conversation went something like this...
"Oh I like that flavor, what is it mom?" Nikyla asked
"I don't know" I replied
"I think it's fruit punch. Mom, if I get the chicken pops can I have a bandaid?" she asked
"Sure" I said "but you might need a bit more than a bandaid hon"
Nikyla loves to visit the Doctors, get checked out and doted on.
Speaking of doted on .... Today was a special day for her, she went skating on our outdoor rink for the first time and did well. Then she decided she wanted to invite our neighbours daughter who is 10. So our neighbours daughter came out, she is really great with Nikyla, and skated for a bit on the rink. Then they jumped on the trampoline, drew a bit on the pavement and then Nikyla dictated that they should now go inside. When this happens usually I will invite our neighbour over for coffee while her and my daughter play about. However today she was busy but her daughter still came over. Nikyla tells her what to do the whole time and the sweet girl just plays along to make sure that Nikyla is always happy. I went for a nap and when I woke I had expected our neighbour girl to be gone, but she was still here playing and I heard from Nikyla "run for your life" as they were playing run away from Jersey monster.

Go Sens Go

We had went to our first Senators game yesterday with another family. Nikyla was so great sitting watching, cheering and asking about it, it was so cute. Jersey stayed home with the IL's. We saw Spartacat and she liked trying to find him every once in a while in the stands. We are planning on doing this once more before the season is over and I can't wait!
On another note, Nikyla is doing famously about me leaving ever since the Christmas break. She hasn't been crying and carrying on, knock on wood this is wonderful!! Jersey still cries for a second, until I am outta sight. And speaking of little miss Jersey. She now loves to bite her sisters back, fingers, toes, anything she can sink her little teeth into LITERALLY! I can't wait for that last eye tooth to come in, she is so grouchy. I was also informed today that when she gets mad she finds the closest person and tries to shove them down, she is usually surrounded by 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 yr olds.
