Canada's Wonderland - Take III

We took Philip to Wonderland for the third time this summer to make our season's passes worthwhile... haha... no, it was a gorgeous day so we decided to spend my last weekend of freedom relaxing at the park. Philip wanted to put on his full swim gear for Splashworks this time so we obliged (this will probably be the last summer it fits anyway!), and he was quite content to just hang around the wading pool this time. Of course, he went on a few of the other rides too, and I finally took a picture of the name of his favourite ride: "The Jetson's Rocket Port". He loves that thing and even took his newly acquired duckie on the ride with him. Season's passes next year? Absolutely! :)

High Park - Take II

Philip met up with Naia and Arya at High Park last Sunday to enjoy an afternoon of going to the mini-zoo, having a picnic lunch, splashing around in the wading pool, and swinging in the playground. They had a lot of fun despite the early rainstorm and their favourite activity had to be prancing around in the water while smiling for the cameras. Kids and water, you gotta love it! :)

Natalie @ 6 1/2 months

We met up with the Ramlogans at Yorkdale last weekend so Philip and Natalie (and the adults) could catch up. The dads finally got to watch The Dark Knight while the moms and their babies got some much needed shopping done. It worked out quite well and we even got to top it off with an all-you-can-eat sushi buffet in Richmond Hill. The food wasn't great, to be honest, but that won't stop us from trying another one until we can find the ultimate sashimi dinner! Japanese food is definitely my fave, hands down. It was fun hanging out and we hope to see you again next weekend before school starts and my social life is over!

Philip's First Real Haircut

Uncle Jouky sent me a dvd of our Michigan trip so I was able to get some pics back! Yay! :)

As you can tell from the recent pics, Philip got his hair cut! The curls were starting to look like a mullet, Uncle Chow Chow (that's Uncle Stinky, or Uncle Wen to the rest of us... haha) said, so on our last day in Michigan, we decided to chop off the hockey hair. Philip did have his head shaved when he was a just a month old, but this was the first time we actually took him to a professional kiddie barber to get his hair cut. Carnival Cuts was the place courtesy of a coupon Auntie Eileen gave us (children's cuts are pricey!). Well, Philip had just woken up from his nap, so he was definitely NOT in the mood to be a willing participant. My poor kid cried the whole time but the barber was incredibly patient and got the job done (I guess you have to be in his business). In the end, the curls were gone but I think a really cute toddler cut remained, and even Paul, who absolutely adored the curls, admitted the new cut looked better. My baby is looking all grown up now and ready for the junior room in September! :)
