today

the day backwards...

Zoe and Finn are now in the backyard playing their favorite new game:
"Now you yell from there..." where they climb somewhere, and yell as
loud as they can, then the next person goes... right before that Zoe
went outside and yelled, "Nana! Grandpa!"... they left today after
spending time watching the kids on their own for 4 days while we were
at SIGGRAPH.. the kids really enjoyed their grandparents... I just
heard Zoe yell for Grandpa again.

previous to that Zoe was playing yoga instructor... at some point I
was to be a blade of grass... laying low, then put my bum in the air
and then leap forward and growl at my neighbor... I'm guessing that
came from Dance class today. She had her first day of Dance camp was
a raving success... "it was marvelous" as she said.. they did Ballet,
Tap, Jazz, Song and Dance (Hard knock life from Annie)... she did it
with her friend Claire.. it was great.

Finn had a 3 hour nap today, he's not been eating much, drinking lots
of milk, wanting to nurse often, I hope it passes quickly. I wish I
could attribute it to our walk around the Beaver Lake Ponds, but since
I carried him most of the way,... I think he's got a bit of a cold
brewing.

Finn noticed that Grandpa wasn't around about 11am... the two of them
got on so well.. finally Finn had someone to toss him around as much
as he likes.. (video to go up soon)

When we dropped Zoe off, Finn was the one who had a hard time. He did
not want to leave Zoe, wanted to stay with her. Perhaps in two years
they will do the camp together. They are both natural theatre majors
in the making.
