It's a blustery Tuesday so I thought I'd take some time to write a quick update on what we've been up to.

Sebastian spent both Thurs & Fri last week at Evelyn's from 8:30 - 5:30 while I worked. It was okay, but on both days by around 2 p.m. I was missing him and wanting to leave work to go and pick him up.... But of course, that didn't happen.

I also realized that I am extremely impatient at the end of the day sitting in traffic when all I want to do is go and see Sebastian. It takes me about 1/2 an hour to get from work to Evelyn's in rush hour. Which sucks since it's only about 5 kms away. However, I realize that being in a rush isn't going to get me there quicker and on Friday Sebastian didn't even want to leave when I showed up!! I knew that was going to happen one day, but so soon!?!? Of course, I didn't take it personally... who can blame the kid? He was outside playing with his friends and was having a good time so when I showed up it meant playtime was over. And we chatted about his day all the way home (it's amazing how much he is talking. Not actually words per se, but vocalizing as if he's having a conversation. We have ourselves a regular chatty cathy...or charlie... heh, wonder who he gets that from?).

On Saturday we missed swimming for the first time this session as Sebastian was napping (daycare wipes him out). After his 2 1/2 hour nap we had lunch and then spent the afternoon going for a nice walk and playing at the park (the pics posted are from our outing to the park). In the evening after Sebastian went to bed Jamie & I actually managed to go out on a date! We went to a nice Greek restaurant to celebrate Jamie's upcoming birthday and then came home - nothing too fancy but nice all the same. Special thanks to Papa & Nonee for coming into Toronto and letting us have a night out! I think we're going to have to do this a little more often (hint, hint!)!

Unfortunately we did stay up much too late Saturday night as we were awoken at 5 a.m. the next morning by Sebastian. Seems he didn't get the notice that he should be giving us an extra hour of sleep! We then spent our Sunday relaxing, doing housework and having brunch with Jon & Marion, which was really nice since we haven't seen them since Sebastian's birthday.

I've been sick with a cold since Friday (hit me Friday aft. around 3:30p.m....figures, not even back to work for 2 full days and I get sick!) so yesterday was pretty low key. Sebastian caught up on his sleep, which is always nice and we basically just stayed at home and played. This morning we went to our Gymboree play class prior to running some errands to pick up a few things we needed for this evenings festivities. We, meaning Sebastian & I, have a few things planned for Jamie in celebration of his birthday today (Happy Birthday once again to a wonderful husband and dad!!), but since there's a chance he'll read the blog prior to this evening I'm going to have to leave it at that... can't give away any of our surprises! =)

Cheers,
Kim
