Julia and Emily's World

Today was our company BBQ lunch. The best part was that I got to have lunch with Julia as all the kids in the onsite daycare were invited to the BBQ too. Julia was very excited to see me there. We had chicken, turkey sausage and corn on the cob. Afterwards we had watermelon and a popsicle. After lunch it was back to work for me and off to nap time for Julia.

On Saturday Mama (Julia's greatgrandmother) invited everyone over for dinner. The kids had a good time in the backyard. They all shared the toy lawnmower. On Sunday Julia spent the day with Grandma and Papere. Mommy and Daddy had other things to do. In the morning they went to church. In the afternoon they went to the Teddy Bear picnic in Gage Park. Julia had fun dancing to the music.

Today was show and share day at school. Julia brought in her doll stroller and a baby (not THE baby). Another toddler in the class brought in the same thing. Originally Julia wanted to bring in "Baby" (as in THE baby) but I convinced her not to because everyone at school has seen it so many times before and Julia does NOT share BABY. Here's a few pics of Julia and Nicki from next door playing in the sandbox.

Today was cousin Selena's birthday party. It was a great day for a summer party (unless you're an allergy sufferer). All the kids had a great time together. As always the food was great. On top of the great weather, it started with a 2-0 Portugal victory (Vai Portugal!). Happy Birthday Selena!

Friday was a vacation day for daddy and Julia. I sealed the driveway and Julia stayed with Grandma and Papere for the day. Julia had a good day. McDonalds and Timmy's in the same day. After we all went over there for dinner.

That was the question today at school. It is "Father's Day Week" at the daycare. Everyday the toddlers talk about their daddy's at circle time. Yesterday's topic was "What is your daddy's name?". That's and easy one for Julia. Today was "What does your daddy do at work?". This is not so easy for Julia (or any of the other toddlers). Julia told everyone that her daddy is "A hockey player on a BIG airplane!". I wish. Even that stiff Domi makes seven figures. Answers from the other toddlers: "Toronto", "Book", "Gabgee". I guess it's a tough question for two year olds. She also told everyone that her daddy has a "red nose...a booboo". I had a nose bleed last night. Julia was fasinated by the whole bloody scene. She was especially fasinated with the kleenex stuffed up my nostril. "That's funny! go show Mommy!". No sympathy for Dad.

Today Julia had her first full haircut. She was a bit nervous at first. Julia sat on Mommy's lap and had a lolipop. That made her more relaxed. In the end she loved her hair. She even got sparkles in her hair. After her haircut we went for a chocolate donut because she was such a good girl.

Yesterday we went to John P's BBQ. He had tons of food! We stuffed ourselves. Even though the weather didn't cooperate, Julia had a great time because there were lots of kids. Her cousins Selena and Mya were there as well as Jenna, Jasmine and Cole. Baby Madelyne was there too. Thanks John. Today we enjoyed the weather playing in the back yard and taking a couple of walks. Mommy and Julia walked all the way to Grandma's house.
