Weekend Update

This morning we headed to Hot House to have a delicious brunch and listen to some jazz music. We joined Tina, Pat, Avery, Misty, Troy, Karyn and Nick. We were all stuffed, including Truman who must have ate about 10 slices of watermelon. Truman loved the music and was dancing for most of the morning. Jerry and I were not expecting him to be on such good behaviour...it was not until the end of the meal when he began to lose his patience. Luckily we had all had our fill.

Here's a pic of Truman posing, he asked me to take at least a dozen pictures

Troy, Misty and Truman...Truman was just not interested in posing this time

Pat and rosy cheeked Avery

So, Jerry and I finally caved and got Truman's hair cut. Some may say he was long overdue, but we loved his beautiful curls and big hair. I asked the stylist not to take too much off...so it is still longer in the front...and it's curlier than ever. Truman, however almost had a nervous breakdown while getting his hair cut...Jerry had to hold his arms and legs down, while I held his head. All the while he was screaming as if he was being tortured. This was not my idea of a fun time. As soon as it was over, Truman acted as though the previous ten minutes never happened.

Here's Truman on Thomas the Train after getting his hair cut, as he wouldn't stay in it while scissors were near his head....

Last night, we went to Canadian Tire to buy Truman a sled, as there is a great hill up the street that is perfect for Truman's age. We took him this afternoon and he loved it. I think Jerry must have taken him down the hill at least fifty times.

I also wanted to wish Misty a very Happy Birthday, we hope that you had a wonderful day!

Obsession with Cars

Every evening when I pick Truman up from school, inevitably on our way home he will tell me that he would like to watch Cars. He is no longer interested in the Wiggles, Thomas Train, or television, he just wants to watch Cars. He loves Mac, Lightning and Mator and talks about them all the time. In fact, he has started to sleep with the DVD cover! When the movie is on, I have a hard time getting his attention.

Here are a few pics of Truman introducing his baby cousin Avery to the movie...Avery too seemed to enjoy it!

On Monday night we had our parent-teacher meeting at day care. Carol, Truman's teacher told us that Truman likes to talk a lot (really?) and he is very social and is happy to greet anyone who comes to the door. His only objective is for him to concentrate using his cutlery more. When we finished our meeting it was quite a bit later than we normally are when we pick him up, and he was the last child in his classroom. I have never seen Truman so upset. I was told that he kept telling his teacher that his mom was coming. I think he thought we were going to leave him there. Poor thing.

Since this is the first time I have blogged in a long time, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the newest Topolski Family Member. On November 3rd, Noah was welcomed by Anya, Wolf and Joachim. Congratulations! We cannot wait to meet you!
