Where is my snack "Mommy" ? and a Tuesday note....

Kijin is soon to be 2  ! Next week in fact!  Our little man is talking up a storm and doing really well in his daycare! The word of the day is usually "Mine!" He just got his little Daycare Report Card and he is doing great!  He is still the top "Hoarder!" of all the Trains in the classroom when they are brought out at play time!

Kyler has had a busy few weeks at school. He was running in track a few weeks ago, almost finished the race, then his shoes came off ! What to do??  He kept running and he did not come in last ! He was happy about this!  His softball school team placed in 3rd last week. He enjoyed playing softball again because they did well and did not come in last like his last years Pickering team!

He has completed his season of "Fencing". He has yet to decide to go back to it in the fall or try something else? But he did well in it, the sport has its slow and fast moments!

His grade 5 class will be ending soon with a trip to see the Argos play and a full day at Canadas Wonderland. I can't believe he will be going into grade 6 in the fall! Where has the time gone? I remember when he started kindergarden :(  !!!

We are soon ending June with Kijin's 2nd birthday BBQ and a week of camping with the family!!! A busy few weeks ahead of us!

The Kissing Dutchies...Happy Birthday Grandma!

What to get Grandma Wiersma for her birthday???   I found these in a store which needed a little TLC, a touch up here and there and voila!  The Kissing Dutchies turned out great !  (  my own parents have a pair in their garden which look really cute !  ) Grandma loved them and they will soon be added to her garden in Wasaga Beach !  Enjoy them Grandma!

Love and kisses from 4 other Dutchies---KEKK Wiersma!

Kyler and "Dads" Sphinx project!

This year for the Grade 5's project was Egypt!  The kids in Kyler's class got to pick various items to make or build or cook something from the Egypt era. Kyler picked the "Sphinx" !  So Kyler and dad took at least a month of planning, building, sanding, glueing, and painting the above "Sphinx". It is all built out of wood and it  turned out great !  Kyler got a perfect mark on his assignment !    The class and the rest of the school had a "Night at the Museum" show off night , with all the projects on display.......great work everyone ! Next in grade 6 it will be "Indian Projects".  Maybe Kyler and Dad can build a T-PEE next!! ??

Kijins BUZZZZZZ cut

 Before.....

After.....

Our little Kijin has grown so much and is talking up a storm lately!  The above photo was just last week, enjoying his first "whole" ice-cream cone and of course his before long hair photo.  Kijin HATES haircuts !  Screams and screams, while the poor hairdresser is trying to cut his hair. This time I had to hold him in the chair with no capes on! Tears, running nose and hair all over the place, but the end result was a cute one!  Soooo much cooler too for him, since he sweats like anything!  Kyler got his hair cut too ! ( with a McDonalds bribe he got it buzzed off too! ) 
Kijin is starting to talk a bit more now...a few words we hear often now are, "mine!" "no" "train, bus, truck, A, " and a few more! He is still doing great in daycare, picks up every virus under the sun still, colds, fevers, etc ! 

Here is his, chilling out with his glasses on, ready for mom to take him around the Oshawa Zoo. We took Kyler here years ago and its a really nice zoo to go for a few hours to check out the animals......mostly farm animals but a few exotic animals there too. It was just Kijin and I having a fun morning....while Dad and Kyler were at home working on the deck!!

Our little Kijin will be 2 already on June 18th........I think it will be a "Thomas the Tank Engine" themed birthday !

Kijin's shape ball

 WOW !  Our smart little Kijin has the shape ball down pat already!!!  Smart little monkey can get all the shapes in by himself now. He needs some help pulling it apart and shaking out all the shapes.......but once thats done , he goes right at it and gets those shape pieces in. UMMMMM !  He soon will figure out again on how to get out of his play area and or his crib I know it!!
