Yesterday, Peter took advantage of the beautiful weather (sunny, no sandstorm in sight, 30 plus degrees) and took A & N for a swim. Thanks to the pool heater, he tells me it was like a 'warm bath'. I'm sorry that I am not approved for swimming as yet, as I would have loved a warm bath! NB and I sat outside, soaked up some vitamin D, and watched the fun.
Donna--might you add hibiscus to your list of
favourite flowers if you lived here? I love them!
This morning I had to cancel plans with a friend, in order to go to the Canadian Embassy (again) and finish the application for NB's passport. Fortunately, we finished everything we needed to do (although there was a little 'discussion' about the passport photo, which I will admit is a very unflattering likeness), and this is the last time that we need to take NB there.
In order to make it easier for myself, I opted to leave the other two at home. Baby N went for a nap, and little A was painting. I was amazed to see the growth she has shown in this skill. She painted several pictures, but this one was her first. I asked her whether she wanted me to take it to Papa, so he could put it up at work. She said "No--I painted this for you, for your birthday card.". How very special and lucky I am!!
When I came home, I learned that there was a lot of fun had at Casa S-L, as Malou had caught a baby pigeon, and held it for both A & N to look at (although N is still learning how to be gentle and almost crushed its little head). We have noticed these pigeons in our backyard lately (enjoying the Cockatiel birdseed mix that I picked up at Lulu--bless the pigeons--they are the only ones who will eat it! Who knew birds were so picky?). I guess they have a nest somewhere, as this little fella has been toddling around our yard all day, being fed by mom and dad periodically. He finally roosted on top of a brick, and I believe he is bunkered there for the night.
When I am nursing, A & N have to resort to playing around the area where I am 'bunkered down' (with my nursing cushion). So, all the fun usually happens AROUND the coffee table--until Baby N decided to change things up a bit. I asked little A to check on him (b/c though I could hear him, I could not see him and am always worried he'll slam his fingers in something). She wandered around the coffee table and said "I can HEAR him, but I can't SEE him.". Until she bent down and found him IN the coffee table. What a curious george he is!!

That Baby N! He always makes me laugh! And yes, I would definitely put the Hibiscus on my favourite flower list! It's beautiful! Do they have a nice scent?
No smell that I can detect.
They just seem so exotic, that it tickles me to grow them in my back-yard!
