A little bit o'heaven for 2007
Well baby its cold outside and Chris is at his Japanese lesson, the baby (well toddler I should say) is sleeping peacefully and I am at it again updating my blog.
We had a fantabulous holiday season filled with family, friends and great food. The only hiccup we encountered was when Natalie got into our recycling and cut her left pinky on a can. She was rewarded with seven stiches and we were forced to put off a ski trip to B.C. Her stiches are out and Chris and I were sufficiently traumatized that we have more baby gates and more baby proofing done around the house. You can see the one picture of her with her hand in a badaged mitt. She has been an amaizing trooper abou the whole thing and did not need any pain medication.
As the previous incident may have indicated Natalie is in her "INTO EVERYTHING " stage (yes caps are required to describe this phase). It's like she is Issac Newton discovering gravity, Beethoven discovering the delights of sound and music, a Columbus discovering the new world (or perhaps just the dishwasher), and a caveperson of some sort learning how to string together short monosylabic sounds. Having a toddler is like witnessing human history unfold before your very eyes, I highly recommend tying it!! Unfortunatly she has not evolved to a reasonable, sensible, democratic being. She is stuck in some sort of tyrranical hedgemony of her own divising, alas we are often relegated to the class of peasant or even worst beast of burden. But I remind myself I am the parent here, I am queen of this house (that's right Chris, I know you will read this) and if I don't want her to play with something I have every right to take it away (toothpaste is a common caouse of discontent). The only problem with this plan is that Daddy, the once and future king of this realm we call Derkowski, is like a bowl of jello around her and he often gives into ther whims. Fear not loyal readers we will strike a balance and will not spoil our tyrrant toddler.
Thats all for now take care and stay warm.
