Catching up on February pictures

Here's the last batch of February stuff we wanted to share.


So we've started getting Leo to work on drinking from a cup... Generally, it's not quite this bad. However, whenever he decides that his food would be more interesting in his cup, things can get out of hand pretty quickly.

Max had a PJ day at his school and so he brought his friend Monkey-Monkey with him. I was the duty parent that day, so I also got to rock pyjamas AND had the honour of whipping up a monster batch of pancakes for the kids. At pick-up time, it was like I was the crazy uncle for a bunch of children going home with their parents: "yeah, so your kid is completely hopped up on syrup right now. Have a great afternoon!!!"

One day, we were babysitting our friends' daughter Grace. The boys needed a bath and the last time we had a little lady in the house, she hopped right in. This time, well, let's just say Grace was NOT interested.

Our first big outing after Max got over his gastro-thing was to get out to the Aviation museum. You've seen the kids in the Museum's dress-up gear before, but this picture of Leo (saying "cheese", of course) couldn't go without sharing.

Later in the month, we visited the Museum of Civilization, which is a lot trickier now that Leo isn't content just sitting in a stroller. The last two times the kids have been, Holly and I have each lost Leo at least once. Here, the kids are visiting an exhibit in Canada Hall which is a reproduction of a lounge in the Vancouver airport in the 60s. The actual lounge is here, below.


Our last big surprise of February came a few days after we'd wrapped up administering Leo's ear infection antibiotics. Leo developed a crazy body rash (tough to see here in the picture, but it's pretty much all over). So now he's listed as being allergic to penicillin too (great, just great. Can't wait to try to get that first dose of Biaxin into him). Oh, maybe that's not clear - the "too" here refers to Max being listed as allergic to penicillin, not other allergies of Leo's:)

Max and Leo recently discovered the kitchen appliances we keep in our bottom drawer in the kitchen. For some reason, rather than using them to help us cook or bake, they decided to turn them into band instruments.
