Gearing up....

This past weekend we took Sebastian to his first class of Sportball. Initially he had a hard time adjusting, he didn't want to wear his shoes and it seemed to be a tad bit too busy for his liking. Seeing that he is the youngest in the class (the class if for 2-3 year olds and he's not turning 2 until next week) he did quite well. By the end of the class he was running around and attempting to dribble the soccer ball.

We then spent Sunday meeting the newest member of the Jefferson family; baby Taite. Sebastian had a great time playing with Griffin and it was nice watching the two of them play so nicely together. Kim, Sebastian's birthday buddy, and Christa also surprised us with a birthday cake. It was really nice and Sebastian was fast asleep in the car before we even hit Park Rd!



As for the upcoming week we're going to be busy getting ready for more birthday festivities. I can't believe in less than a week Sebastian will be 2! I'm more surprised over how excited I am for this birthday...last year I was so sad he was turning 1. I think this year is different because Sebastian is so much more interactive and it's great being able to actually play along with him! He started walking at 14 months and now he's running, skipping, dancing and dribbling soccer balls! He's throwing and kicking balls with a lot more accuracy and verbally he speaks in 4-5 word sentences quite frequently. He now knows his colours, shapes and can count from 1-10. He attempts his alphabet and can sing along but is unable to recite his alphabet from A-Z just yet. And his sense of humour is amazing! What's amazing is the fact that he will often do something silly and then laugh at himself for doing it! He also laughs at my antics quite frequently and once even told me that I was being silly! Poor kid - I told him to get used to it!
