Bear in the tub, toothbrush in bed

Sorry for the long hiatus. Lots going on.
So, that's my guy. Nolan recently started to get a lot more interested in stuffed animals, especially two teddy bears he has had since he was a peanut and basically coexisted un-interestedly with til now. So, now he says "Bay-eur" (bear) to request company when getting up, having supper, going to sleep etc. He will walk around in his pj's clutching and hugging a bear in the morning, hair a puff of tousled curls, grinning like mad- VERY cute. He also will say "Sit!!"and then line them up on chairs or the couch, then solemnly wag his finger at them "No, no no....(babble babble babble)". Tonight while I was getting provisions Mike told me Nolan had REALLY wanted the bear in the tub with him, and it was tough to redirect him from that idea.

Nolan still loves toothbrushes- but now just says "toopashte!" because it's so damn TASTY, that's what he is really after. So, after we brushed tonight, he insisted on bringing the toothbrush to bed, meaning that I get about a 50-50 chance of waking up with it tangled in my hair.

Went to Calgary for Aunty Nica's baby shower, a very nice time, stayed with Matt and Monica and saw the lovely Gabrielle, and went to the zoo. My favorites, the giraffes. Mike's, the hippos. Nolan's, the slides at the kiddie playground.
