Julia and Emily's World

Julia lost a second tooth already! This one was lost at school in the playground. Julia didn't know exactly when she lost it so we couldn't find it. No worries. We wrote the Tooth Fairy a letter and told her where to look for it. She found it and Julia got another two bucks.

I know I'm a bit late with this post. Uncle Bob turned 40 and had a big party. Lots of kids, lots of food, lots of fun. Of course the Jumping Castle was set up.

Julia got a new bedroom set. New bed, dresser, night table and lamp. She just finished getting all set up.

Julia lost her first tooth today. It's a bit early (4 years, 7 months) but she did get her first tooth early too (4 months). It has been really loose for a couple of days and today she bit into a dinner roll and knocked it out. At first she thought that she was biting into a hard piece of bread! Good thing she didn't swallow it! It is now under the pillow waiting for the tooth fairy. Julia is expecting $7. Julia is going to be disappointed.

On Sunday, Julia, Mommy, Grandma and Auntie Weezie went to Leamington for the day. They attended two Showers. A bridal shower for Deanne (cousin Joel's bride to be) and a baby shower for Uncle John's granddaughter Jackie. Uncle John has a motel/trailer park on the lake so that was fun for Julia. It was a long day of driving (6 hours!) but Julia made it without too much fussing.

On Thursday/Friday we went to Niagara Falls and Great Wolf Lodge with Selena, Mya and Jacob. We went on the big ferris wheel and the Maid of the Mist. We got soaked on the Maid of the Mist. Mya and Julia really enjoyed being so close to the Falls. Next stop was Great Wolf Lodge. It was our first time there. Julia was very nervous of the water slides. It took a lot of tears and crying before she went on the bigger slides (with the help of Mommy pushing her down the slide!). We all had a great time there and I'm sure we'll be back for another visit next year.

Today we went to the Heart Lake Conservation Area . It has a new splash pad that we wanted to checkout. Overall it's a fairly standard splash pad and certainly not worth the price of admission. The splash pad was only $2 per kid but adults have to pay $6 to get into the park. I guess it's ok if you were to go fishing and hiking. Julia says she had fun but I'm not sure.
