Consider yourself updated

As many of you know, I have been a big fan of the NUK (pictured to the right) for some time. Like most babes, it provided welcome relief from the stress of childhood and helped calm and pacify me in those early days when sleep was hard to find. When I turned 3, people started to question why I still needed one and Mom and Dad tried hard to get me to stop using. Recently, Uncle Marty shared a tale with Dad about how Nigel kicked his soother habit and so Dad thought he'd give it a try.

It was a day like any other. We were walking to Daycare and Dad asked if I wanted to throw my Nuk in the garbage. I said YES and that's exactly what we did. Threw it in the dustbin.

I'm proud to say, since that day  I have been NUK free, (3 weeks and counting). It has changed things slightly but overall it was easy to kick the habit. It may take abit longer for me to go to sleep at night but at least all future pictures won't feature that plastic thing in my gob. 

 

Oh yeah and guess what else I've 'thrown' away. That's right, the almighty NAP. Now this of course is inevitable but let me tell you it has taken all of us by surprise. It started this past weekend and although I do nap at Daycare, I'm not really interested in doing it at home anymore. I know that Mom and Dad are not pleased but it will all work out in the end. Crazy thing is, I'm still having a hard time getting to bed at a decent hour and I've got more energy than I know what to do with.  We thoguht that eliminating the nap would mean lights out by 7:00pm. The jury is still out but I'll keep you informed.


Well that's it for now folks. See you soon :)

More UK vacation pics

 So this is a shot of Cannon's park near Sabba and Savta's house. As you'll see by some of the photo's that follow, it truly puts Canadian parks to shame in terms of innovative playground structures. The whole compund is surrounded by a nice fence and there is a huge Willow tree.

Here is Mom and I hamming it up for the camera at another park in Golder's Green. As you can tell we went to a lot of parks during our visit.

 Here I am at another cool kids park (sorry I don't recall where) .
Check out this trampoline thingy, totally outside and 100% safe.
Canadian outdoor parks take note!

We also went on an old fashion train that circled the grounds. We also saw Barge boats and ate sandwiches under a tree.

 This is the Zip Line in Cannon's Park.  I must have went back and forth on this thing 50 times. Surprisingly, I was fearless and it didn't take me long to master the art of zipping.

I can't wait to go to a real Zip Line in Costa Rica or someplace warm.

 Here I am posing in front of a WW1 Bi-plane at the Royal Aviation Museum. We went twice and they have several planes on display that you could sit in and look at.

This is a free museum and has some impressive displays and installations. We also went to the London Transport Museum but I can't seem to locate the pics.

And so here I am back at Cannon's Park on this Spider-Web thingy and as you can tell, it's really awesome. I hope you have enjoyed lookig at some of my vacation pictures. I'll do my best to post some more as we sort it out.

Hope you are enjoying these postings. Come back and visit soon.

Love Jonah :)

More pics from London...

Stop in the name of silliness



Finally the pics from London have arrived

Dear family and friends,

So here we go with the first wave of my pics from my trip to the UK this past Summer. Most of the trip took place in and around Edgware but when Mom and Dad went to Amsterdam, I spent three lovely days with Jules and Joe in Brighton.
