I am SO looking forward to mornings later than 6 AM.
*No crying toddler as we leave him, apprarently to suffer all day long in day care.
*Starting the yard gates.
*Maybe finishing the yard gates??
*Planting some flowers.
*Planting the garden. (I'm not really looking forward to turning the garden over). Maybe we'll rent a rototiller....

*Taking a picnic brunch and meeting with Ayla and her parents.
*Being out in the sunshine.
*Letting Chance run out in his shorts and bare feet (+26 degrees C today!!)
*Watching the Mommy Robin build her nest under our porch.

Days going by so quickly...
Well it seems like Chance hasn't eaten a solid meal in about a week, and tonight he packed away an adult sized slice of pizza, 2" of cucumber, a few green pepper pieces and some radish, 6 oz of milk and about a half cup of rice pudding with ice cream. Wow!
On the weekend we attended the Supertrain model train show in Calgary. It is the largest model train show in Canada. And possibly the largest gathering of little boys in the world. It was a full hour before I saw a little girl! Chance really enjoyed the trains and so did Cameron. They had demo tables of Thomas the Train play sets and Chance really seemed to enjoy it (along with the 10 - yes TEN - other toddlers playing with it simultaneously). Think about those videos you've seen with 10 puppies trying to eat out of the same bowl -- that is what it was like, 11 toddlers circling this table with a train set on top of it, hilarious. We left at noon, as it was getting so packed it was hard to move. Amazing, because it snowed a LOT and would have thought that fewer people would go, but maybe it just drove them to the show instead of doing something outdoors, who knows.
Cam took a brochure to check out prices at home. The set alone was quite expensive, never mind the table stand, table top, etc. that would be required. We knew that there is a $200 version available at Toys R Us, and another one at IKEA for a similar price, so thought that Thomas was out of our price range. Cam got to surfing the net anyways, and encountered a website that was down for maintenance -- a code was provided to use on next visit for 50% off. Fifty. Wow!
So. We have a train set. The difficult part will be keeping Cam out of the box until Chance's birthday in October!!!

Ugh. Snow. SNOW SNOW SNOW.

Elbow Falls
This was Chance's 2nd trip (3rd if you count while I was pregnant) to Elbow Falls.
We arrived around 11 AM and spent about 30 mins farting around. Chance really took to climbing on the rocks -- a little scrambler in the making! Maybe Daddy will have a partner to climb mountains in a few years!
We met a couple of bikers (the motorcycle type, not the spandex kind). They were standing next to the railing where we were looking at the waterfall and Chance really liked the biker boots with the shiny Harley Davidson insignia on them. We chatted with them for a little while and it turned out that this pair of bikers was a father and son duo -- kind of neat to observe their father-son relationship and made me think about Cam and Chance later on in life (maybe Chance and Cam will take up Harleys??).
Lunch was eaten at a picnic table and then we headed home before Chance's usual nap time. A fun trip!

Weekend Fun
So far have had a very busy weekend!
*Saturday 7 AM wake up, care of Chance. Showers (Mom and Chance, then Daddy). Breakfast - Honeycomb for Daddy, Chance was supposed to have Honeycomb too but was much more interested in Mommy's Mini-Wheats.
* Piled into the car, but after 5 minutes stopped at a Tim Hortons as we looked back to see that Chance had somehow (?!?) removed his diaper while managing to keep his pants on!! We got the diaper secured and then continued on our way to the Calgary Farmer's Market. Bought some veggies, sausages, cheese and bread, and free range brown eggs (somehow I inheirited my Nana's preference for brown eggs from a farm).
* Back into the car, stopped at Southcentre Mall to buy jeans and a new hat for Daddy, pick up Mommy's stylish new glasses. Chance met a 2 year old named Anthony, who could talk up a storm! We ate an orange while sitting in the centre court of the mall - prime people watching!
* Stopped on the way home to pick up a spare part for Mommy's bike.
* Lunch - goodies from the farmer's market plus leftover spaghetti. While Mommy and Chance readied lunch, Daddy swept and hosed out the garage.
* Vacuumed out the truck and the car, plus wiped the house windows down with a squeegee, just to get the winter dust off of them.
* Lazed out in the back yard enjoying the sun. Took out the hammock and hung out a bit, but Chance was too interested in exploring. Cam showed him how to throw a snow ball at the fence using the residual snow left over from last week's episode. Chance really liked this, but would grab a fist full of snow from the north end of the yard, run to the opposite side where the fence was and throw -- except by the time he got there, the snow had all melted! He did it like 3 or 4 times, by the end Mommy was just about peeing she was laughing so hard.
* Naptime! Whew! Everyone took a nap for an hour and a half. Mommy slept a little longer, as Daddy quietly left to go take care of Chance when he woke up, nice!
* A quick snack while watching Starwars. Our friend Stef called to say that he and his little boys were too tired to take a walk with us as planned. Instead we rigged up the bike and headed out on our first family bike ride. We rode about 1 km to a gas station to get our tires inflated a bit, then went about 3 km to a grocery store, bought groceries for next week, and then biked home. It took about 1 hour, as far as I can figure it didn't take much longer than it would have if we drove!
* Supper was BBQ'd sausages for Mommy and Daddy and for Chance his very first hot dog. He ate a whole hot dog and bun, about 1/4 of a big tomato and a lot of cucumber pieces. Beans and a full glass of milk. He belched 3 times before I took him out of the high chair!
Well, I should go join Cam, he's finishing up the last of Starwars. I have some letters to write, etc. Looking forward to tomorrow because we are going to go to Elbow Falls for a picnic, I can't wait to see Chance's impression of such a big waterfall.
These are Chance's favorite stuffed toys, many of whom "live" in his crib full time. We couldn't find Buckethead for the photo.
Chance sometimes likes to "eat" the bubbles in his bath.
We got baseboard heaters installed in the basement last week! Yay, it is finally warm in our basement!

Fairmont Lake Louise Christmas Weekend
In one word: "greatbutexhausting!"
We arrived at noon on Saturday and had our packed lunch in the lobby as our room was not available yet. Check in was 4 PM, but we were able to get into our room around 1 PM, which was very nice. We got changed and went out for a walk and some toboggan rides down the hill. Chance saw his first horse-drawn sleigh ride!
After our walk we returned back to the hotel and had hot chocolate and asked if they had any cookies. They said no, but they got someone to find some from somewhere in the hotel and then refused to let us pay for them. It's all part and parcel when you have the cutest baby in the world, or at least that's what it seemed like! Everyone was oooohing and aaaahing over Chance's red hair and little curls and how he loved to toddle around the lobby and yank on the Christmas tree decorations, etc.
We attended the dinner and dance in the evening, while Chance stayed with a babysitter. We returned around midnight and we fell asleep by 12:15.
****
1:22 AM: Chance started to cry and would not settle down. We tried cuddling him into our bed. No. We tried singing. No. We tried walking and rocking. No. Water? No! Finally, after about an hour and a half, I gave him a shot of tylenol and tried the water again. He drank half the sippy cup and then belched. I put him in his crib and put a pillow over my head. 5 minutes later he was out like a light. Some other parents were having waking-baby issues too, we could hear them walking up and down the hallway with their little bundle.
7:20 AM: Time to get up, Chance said! After I served Chance a breakfast parfait of banana bread and banana slices (forgot to bring a food dish, silly Mommy!), I took him to the pool and swam for 45 minutes while Cam got a few more winks.
10:00 AM: We were all packed up and ready to go and had a buffet breakfast in the beautiful dining room overlooking Lake Louise. We shared an omelette and Chance had grapes and cheese too.
11:00 AM: We departed Lake Louise and were home by 1:30.
After unpacking Cam took care of Chance while I napped for 40 mins, then we switched off and Cam took his turn grabbing an afternoon nap. I put Chance down for his nap and then woke up Cam. We were pretty lazy today, just watched Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer on television and ate a light supper as we are all feeling a bit bloated after two large meals.

Weekend Summary
We went to the Farmer's Market in Millarville bright and early on Saturday. It was chilly out so Chance was bundled up in his new toque and warm fall jacket. We bought peaches, a zucchini, a jar of grainy garlic mustard, sausages and... blackberries!!
Here is Scarlet showing off her feline stupidity. She hauled the speakers down with her when she failed to land this jump. Lately she has been acting up, scratching the carpets and she has been extra vocal. I think she can sense that there is a change coming up. Chance, on the other hand, has no idea what is coming down the pipes in just 4 days. It's currently 8 AM and he's still sleeping peacefully. Friday is his first day at the day home.
On Sunday we woke up with Chance at 7 and ate fresh farm eggs for breakfast before splitting up: Chance and Mommy to the YMCA, Daddy to the basement to do his boxing routine. When Chance and I returned home the lawn was being cut. I fed Chance a snack and then he napped. Cameron was starving, so he fixed a bit of an early lunch and then he and I quickly did a few garden things...dug our remaining hills of potatoes, cut back the rhubarb and perennials, and also started our compost bin (finally).
In the afternoon Chance had another good sleep and then we went on a long walk in Fish Creek Park. It is beautiful there this time of year, and of course I forgot to bring my camera. The leaves were falling everywhere and they were floating into the open Chariot, Chance had leaves stuck to him everywhere when we lifted him out!
Chance ate chili on toast for supper while we enjoyed potatoes from the garden (Chance doesn't like potatoes), corn cut from a couple of roasted ears our neighbour brought over for us a few days ago, and Korean BBQ pork chops. I never thought of it, but the neighbours who brought us the corn are Korean...I wonder what they would think of "Korean" BBQ pork chops...?
We watched the latest Bond flick (Casino Royale) in 2 parts this weekend, and I have to say that it was quite entertaining. I was surprised, because the only other Bond movie I have seen was Die Another Day, and I thought that one was terrible.
Chance slept well all weekend, that is a relief. He had woken up at 4 AM very upset on Thursday night, but all has been quiet since then. Maybe a nightmare? Anyways, it's now 8:10 AM, I should get showered myself and wake up that little ragamuffin.

Trip to the Zoo
Chance took his first trip to the zoo on Friday. Cam likes to joke that I should have left him in the monkey house.
We went with my friend Kim and her son Matthew, who is 4 months old. Also a friend of Kim's came along, with her 6 month old daughter in tow. When we all met at the agreed upon spot, the two women stated that they had been up at 5 and 6. I almost felt shameful admitting that I had gotten up around 8, and Chance woke up after I had taken a shower. I was quick to point out that it wasn't always this way!
Our first stop was to the hippo tank. But the hippoes were outside. Once outside, we figured out that the hippoes weren't doing much, outside. Then we saw the giraffes. There was a baby giraffe born a few months ago. Let me tell you, that guy is huge! He was running around his pen. He approached us and then panicked and took off again. Chance seemed to be watching him run, that was cool. The reason we haven't taken him to the zoo is that we didn't think he'd be interested in watching animals.
The next exhibit was the lion cage. Two lions were laying together in a sunbeam, bathing each other. Cute. Then a second pair of lions, a male and a female, started pacing around their fence enclosure. I wheeled Chance up closer so he could see them through a part in the tall grass. The female stopped right in front of us and stared at Chance. Chance stared back at the lioness. The male continued on his patrol, to the opposite side of the pen. Then the lions started to growl and give short loud calls. This was pretty facinating, and us mothers were impressed. Then we checked on the babies. Matthew was asleep. The little girl was watching people go by. Chance was wide eyed staring at the lioness, who was still 2 feet away from us, with a horrified expression on his face. I wheeled him away before he started to cry. It was a good 2 minutes before his expression changed.
So we visited the apes, and the elephants, where we stopped for a nursing break. Well, the other two moms nursed, Chance drank formula from a sippy cup and toddled around with a cracker. It was the first time I hadn't nursed him in the morning, and I felt a little strange not joining the other moms. Chance didn't seem to mind.
We took a stroll through the Canadian animal section of the zoo after back-tracking from the elephants as Kim noticed that Matthew had kicked off his shoe. I bet the number of kids clothes, hats, soothers, etc. found at the zoo at the end of the day is staggering. Never mind trying to break your kid's pacifier habit...take a soother away from a cougar and watch the temper tantrum, haha!
Here is Chance enjoying his lunch. It was not until I snapped this picture that I realized we were in front of the Grizzly Bear cage. Extra Mom Points for parading a food-smeared toddler thirty feet in front of a snoozing Grizzly.
All in all it was an excellent day at the zoo. The weather was fantastic and we managed to avoid a lot of crowds by being there early. I think we'll hold off on another trip until Chance is a bit older, I can't wait to hear him say "Look Mommy, the hippo is pooping!!!".

Busy Saturday
We decided to hit the farmer's market this morning but ran into road construction along the way, so doubled back and found a more direct, more scenic route to Millarville. When we arrived, we noticed signs claiming that this weekend instead of $2 per car for parking, we would pay $5 per person, for the centennial market and fair! We saw some cars doubling back at that point, and this is after they spent 20 minutes or more waiting on the highway! How disappointing for them (but to be fair, there were lots of people in the cars, so it would have been $25 just to get in, maybe that was their whole veggie budget!)
We decided to go anyways, and we bought lots of things at the farmer's market: peaches (some bigger than Cam's fist), sugar plums (bright yellow and delicious), cucumbers, dill (an entire grocery bag stuffed full for $1), a zucchini that was too large to carry or fit into the stroller pack, so we tucked it in next to Chance, something called a buttercup squash, baklava (an evening treat to enjoy after Chance goes to sleep), 2 pans of cabbage rolls and fresh perogies!
After the farmer's market we examined some of the fair exhibits, including messenger pigeons, chickens (one of them was so fluffy it looked like a cat!), ducks, an ugly turkey (it gobbled at Chance and startled him, but then he laughed), rabbits, kids' science projects, etc.! We even saw a rooster crowing contest! Chance had some people laughing pretty hard at his "dancing" to the old-time country songs (banjo and fiddle kind of stuff, mountain music).
Of course I forgot to bring my camera. Actually, I chose not to bring my camera. We were only planning on being there for 30 minutes or so, just to pick up some fresh veggies and fruits, and instead spent the entire morning. I am just so thankful that Chance didn't poop his diaper as I didn't have an extra one or changing kit with me!

All of this activity left Chance wound up and not only did he not nap in the morning, he didn't nap in the afternoon as well! Around 5 he was quite irritable, and by 5:30 he was passed out in my arms. I just sat on the couch and watched television for half an hour before supper just to get him through the day. Supper went over quite well and he spent 30 minutes walking (yes, walking!) around the kitchen with a pair of salad tongs. We went to the park and then plopped him into the tub & he was soon asleep in his crib after that.

Visiting Okotoks
We visited our friends in Okotoks and had a nice supper with them. Before supper we walked to their community lake to enjoy a few toe-dips in the water and squishing sand in the feet. The kids had a good time together & it was so great to see how much change there was since the last time they got together!
When we got home Chance was asleep in the car seat. He was tuckered out from all the activity, plus he refused his afternoon nap, so we had a tired monkey on our hands. A quick bath and then into bed!
