April 2015

Things to remember for this month:
- How Luca has gone unexpectedly full bogan in some of his pronunciation - "worda" instead of water, "ya" for you.
- How both kids have fully embraced the smug taunt of 'nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah!'
- How Luca is all about space and pirates at the moment
- How Annick cuddles her Lapinot at night in bed and Luca always has his Ducky, although Annick also loves her doudou mouton and Jemima, and Luca tends to take Stephen Harper when he's going somewhere.
- How Annick loves to have 'Au Clair de la Lune' sung to her at night, with the key words replaced with 'banane' - "Au clair de la banane, mon ami banane..." - after which, giggling hysterically, she corrects you.
- How Annick was doing pinboard craft in Ah Ma's garden, only to be bothered by a wasp, who she shooed away with a grumpy, "go away from here, you can't do this, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY HANDS."
- How Luca likes to be 'Luca machine' or 'Luca robot' and you can press buttons in his back and he will do stuff for you!  And sometimes he says, "Luca robot is humbry" and when you ask him what sort of fuel he needs, petrol maybe, or rice and duck, he says Luca robot needs rice and duck because it gives him more energy than petrol.
- How Annick was found drawing lines on Lapinot's head with a green marker "because now he is a LION!"

Pasta factory!  Luca is of course making his favourite penne, but Annick is making incredibly delicate little 'tortellinis'.

If everything is quiet and the two of them are in the room together, this is often what they are doing.

We went bowling!  Annick nearly won!

Luca makes pinboard art.  From memory, this was a rainbow and the wind and a storm and the moon.

I can't believe they didn't make more of this opportunity to whack each other.

Doctor Luca checks his patient.

If you insist on sitting next to the window, it often means you end up sitting on your own on the tram.

CHOCOLATE FONDUE!

Making some little nests at Artplay.

This is probably not how normal Canadian kids do it.

Luca is all about the boats!

 Splash splash splash!  I had to tip water out of their boots at the end of this and Luca had to change his trousers and underpants.

RRRRRAAWR!

Annick is all about the hula hoops.

Sometimes Annick just falls asleep.

She paid attention at the space movie at IMAX for about 15 minutes.

Lovely babies.
