Announcing a new season: Sprung!

I hope you like the new look of my blog. Dad and I have been working very hard on it to give it that fresh, funky vibe. We decided to post some pictures of me as it's been awhile. The picture to your left was taken outside in my back patio area. We may not have a lawn but when the weather is nice, the fenced in space is great for hockey, basket ball and rides in my plastic wagon and race car.

Not sure about you but we have had a lot of rain in Toronto recently. As a result I've noticed many new interesting plant species blooming around our house. This delightful pic was taken at my friend Violet's 2nd Birthday party over the weekend. There is no telling what April showers can bring.

Happy Sprung Everybody!

Such a card! (Part two)

Around my birthday, I posted some hand crafted cards on the blog. A few weeks later, Dad found this lovely abstract piece behind the bookshelf. When we looked inside we realized that my friend Brandon had also made me an original art work and we wanted to give it a proper debut here.



As you all know by now, I absolutely love books. Lately, I've really been getting into the Arthur the Aardvark series and have also started to collect Franklin the Turtle books. I really dig Elmo too and anything to do with Sesame Street. Mom and Dad say that I pay excellent attention to these more advanced books now and it has really opened up a whole new world of words and sounds for me to practice saying.

I also wanted to share this funny book cover with you as seen below. Written in the 80's, this bizarre book series features a family called the Stupids and check out that title. I bet you couldn't get away with that nowadays.



Pretty hilarious if you ask me!

Take care and enjoy your long weekend, whatever you do!

Love JD :)

We all shouted very loud for flavoured iced milk products!

This may not seem like a worthy posting but I just wanted to get in down for posterity.

Last Sunday,March 29th, Mom, Dad and I went for a bike ride. It was a beautiful sunny day and the weather was nice and warm. It was our first ride of the season and we were thrilled to be out and about. We went to the usual spots and played in the park; I went on the slide, swings and see-saw as always. By the end, we were all getting a bit hungry and so we decided to go for ice cream.

We rode our bikes to Baskin-Robbins (home of the 51 flavours) and Mom and Dad bought me my very first ice cream cone ever! I sat on a chair like a grown-up and had my own kid sized sugar cone with french vanilla. It was so yummy and I ate almost the entire thing by myself. It looked something like this:



Now I realize that this blog is for updates, news and pictures but it seemed like a pivotal moment in my childhood and something that we all might forget about with the passing of time. It certainly was the highlight of my day and I didn't even freak out from all the sugar.

I am looking forward to more in the near future and can't wait to share some with you!

JD :)
