We are now all Canadian's




Well this is day eleven where I have done nothing but cough, sneeze, and feel like you know what. I had to go to the clinic the 2nd time Sunday and was diagnosed with a chest infection (bad one at that) so I'm on the puffer and antibiotics.... Dave started with this Saturday night while we were out with our friends J & K, he to has the same. Savannah, well she has been running a fever for the last four days and today is the first day she seems 80% better. As for the boys they are just fine, tired of hearing me cough. Yes..... we are all now Canadian Karl, Ross and myself finally took the oath yesterday after 17 years we did it. Now for the good stuff, We met with our friends J & K and D & D Saturday it was so nice to see them all with their families. Wow how the girls have changed. The girls went into the playroom at the hotel Saturday and had a blast running, going down the slide, talking to the pet rabbit. Later on we went for a walk to china town, it was a fair walk but we did it and the only thing with the wind is Savannah's eyes really do water and I forgot the plastic cover for the stroller. Well after a fun and exciting day, we went back to our hotel in the evening and had a rough night coughing and Savannah was awake for two hours during the night. I have it all figured out, she does not like change especially away from her bed. Anyways, we left Sunday feeling awful that we had to cut our visit with J & K short but both of us were quite sick, and trying to deal with a baby who is border line sick to was a nightmare. On a positive note, I have for the past week now taken Savannah to bed around 7:30pm (she loves routine), and fed her milk, kissed her goodnight, turned on the chimes and left the room. She has cried for approx 5 mins, but after half hour I go in and she is sound asleep. She knows we are downstairs, she knows we are not far, plus the daycare activity is making her tired even though she naps for 1.5 hours there to. I had to laugh the other day, I went looking for her and she was in the bathroom on the toilet sat side saddle with her pants on, oh my god she is so small she could have fallen down. How on earth she managed to climb up on the toilet there is no step, I said what are you doing and she said poop..... well at least she tried. Savannah's day consists of up at 6am, dressed by 6:30am, breakfast between 7am-7:30am, off to daycare at 8:00am. Snack at 8:15am, outside at 9:15am to play, crafts and activity from 10:00am - 11:30am, lunch at 11:30am, nap at noon - 2:00pm its quite time, outside at 2:30pm, snack at 3:15pm, mom picks me up at 4:30pm, home dinner at 5:00pm (she's usually starving by then), bath at 6:00pm, milk and snack then reading time, night night at 7:30pm. Weekends its party time with mom and dad, gymnastics and lots of playtime. Above is Savannah in her crib at the hotel with a wild hair day, and the other is her waiting for the shower with her cap on. I thought I took more pictures but my camera crashed on me.
