early years

The days seem to be passing by quickly. We are doing the most to enjoy summer - and what a summer it's been so far. The temperature today was 35C and it's not supposed to let up anytime soon. Here's the weekend recap. Saturday John got together with all his university guy friends for a day of golf followed by a night of poker. He had a really good time which was nice since days like that are few and far between. Alicia, Amelia, Carrie and Ronan came over to keep me company in the afternoon. After they left I took the girls for a walk, got them to bed, had a bath, read my book and then went to bed. The whole house to myself and that's the best I could do - pretty pathetic eh! Sunday we cleaned and washed the car - you're probably wondering what's the point of washing your car when you live in dirt city - it was more about owning a hose and being able to wash a car after 4 years of apartment living. After that we put some shelves up in the girls room, and some pictures, and the letters that spell their name. Their room now feels like a baby room minus paint but we're supposed to wait to paint. Today I decided to finally check out the Early Years Centre in Oakville. It's a free drop in centre and I wasn't too sure what to expect. It was actually pretty fun. It was two big rooms full of toys that encouraged learning for kids of all ages. The room was completely baby proof and the girls just crawled around and explored for 2 hours. Two other families showed up which was nice because it gave the girls an opportunity to interact with other kids. I will definitely be going back and I will probably register for some of their programs in the fall. Tomorrow we have the 1 year corrected NICU appointment. For once I'm not worried about the appointment although I am curious to see what they have to say. After the appointment we're going to Oshawa to visit John's grandpa. Thursday we're going swimming at John and Denise's - I'm so excited!
