Unenventful Thursday

Or is it. I'm awaiting an important phone call, and I have a CA tonight. Suzanne is giving me a hand with the numbers. The weather is as gloomy as it's been for the past month now. I believe it is starting to affect our morale a bit. The picture of the day is Sabrina with her brother Matthew.

Sabrina made an airplane

Now you have to realize that she's only 26 months old. Yet she came to Suzanne and said, verbatim: "Look maman, I made an airplane". Sabrina is very intelligent, she knows her letters, she can count up to 18 (except that 14-18 all sounds the same and once in a while she recounts the same item once), she can tell us in the car how to get home, over 1 kilometer away from home ("This way papa, this way"). She reads a lot and can recognize certain words. She has a phenomenal memory. She draws some letters and is an expert at happy faces, whom she calls "bunhommes". She also starting to recognize objects in French.

She's my girl.

Pictures of Matthew

Here's our boy Matthew. He was born on October 12th. So far it's been going relatively well. We do have some bits of jealousy from Sabrina, especially when it comes to me and Matthew. But it's all manageable. And now that we've seen Oprah and the woman who understands baby language, everything is going well. We now understand when he wants to be burped, when he's hungry, when he's uncomfortable, when he's tired and when his stomach hurts. Because of this, he's hardly cried in the last few days.
