Craft time with Dad

You can't see his face ...

but he's laughing like crazy!

Snow day

Watching the snow fall.

And, rosy red cheeks from playing outside and helping me shovel the driveway :)

Cuddles

Skating

As our "reward" for Grady learning how to use the toilet, we promised to buy him a pair of hockey skates and take him skating.

(He is always asking to go to hockey with Sandy, and I've always told him that he was too little to go. Well, when he started to potty train, we repeatedly told him what a big boy he was now. He connected the two and asked us that since he was, "a big boy now, could he go to hockey like Dad does?" All we could do was agree!).

So, we bought him his first pair of skates (plus protective gear) and took him to the rink this weekend. He wasn't very good at staying up-right on the ice, but he absolutely loved it.

First snow day of the season!

Rockin' the undies

On Monday morning, we got rid of the diapers, put underwear on Grady, and started taking him to the potty. He had quite a few accidents that morning and we went through at least 6 pairs of underwear/pants.

But, by Monday afternoon, Grady started to tell me when he needed to go to the washroom. He hasn't had an accident since!!! He's very pleased with himself and we are also very happy that this has been a relatively smooth transition for him.

Here he is rockin' his big boy underwear (the funny thing about these pictures - aside from the first one - is that Sandy was standing to the side showing Grady how to do all these poses :)

Playing with Auntie Di

Gold River

This past weekend we went to Gold River to visit Darryl, Christa, and Easton. The little boys had so much fun running around the house and chasing each other. They also spent a lot of time playing with Easton's new train set.

Grady and his Uncle Darryl.

On Saturday, we went to the logging division so that Darryl could show us his work truck. The little ones were impressed (and also kind of scared!).
