Virtual Playdate!!

The kids in matching PJs, made by Grandma Z

Thanks to BabyBellaHair and Untrained Hair Mom for inviting us to a virtual playdate!!

 Here are 10 facts about JJ:
  1. JJ was a surprise baby! I had no idea I was expecting. A friend of mine who hadn't seen me in a while looked at me and said "when's the baby coming?" - she was right!
  2. JJ continued to surprise us by arriving early - we barely made it to the hospital. Daddy D dropped me off at the front door and she was born 7 minutes later. Poor Daddy D was still parking the car and missed the excitement.
  3. JJ will change her mood instantly, which always has me on my toes.
  4. She is a memorizer. Books, songs, lines from movies - she loves to recite.
  5. She has an amazing fashion sense and puts together very creative looks.
  6. She often acts like a mommy to her little brother K, even though she's just 13 months older than him.
  7. Current obsession: fairies.
  8. Favourite song: Waving Flag.
  9. Loves to move her body but strongly dislikes doing so in a structured situation (like a soccer, gymnastics or dance class).
  10. Happiest time: when there are lots and lots and lots of people crammed into our really small house; when the music is on and people are dancing! 

And some facts about Little Brother K:

    1. Because of all the drama with JJ's birth, K was born at home (pre-planned, with a midwife).
    2. K is super laid-back (the opposite of JJ!)
    3. Except, that is, when it comes to hair. K is not a fan of even the most gentle finger detangling, whereas JJ loves for her hair to be done.
    4. K is 2 1/2, and shares a bedroom with Big Brother J (age 10).
    5. Favourite "toy": My iphone.
    6. K was a very early talker and has near-perfect pronunciation. He always surprises people with his long sentences and large vocabulary.
    7. Current obsession: Trains.
    8. Favourite song: Waving Flag.
    9. Has an amazingly accurate throw for a 2 year old.
    10. Happiest time: Cuddles on the couch with mama.

    Finally, some facts about Big Brother J:

      1. Before Daddy D, JJ and K came along, it was just the 2 of us together, and he says it was "boring".
      2. J has worn glasses since he was 2!
      3. He ***loves*** video games, and is always looking on e-Bay for old (retro) game systems.
      4. J has always been an amazing illustrator.
      5. J asks very deep and insightful questions. J has figured out that I don't know everything and we often need to ask "google" for the answers.
      6. J donated 8 inches of his hair to be used for wigs for people with cancer. 
      7. Current obsession: Pokemon.
      8. Favourite song: Me No Speak Americano.
      9. He is learning to play the guitar.
      10. We have just started an activity where we list our five favourite things each day (well, realistically - every few days) in an effort to remind ourselves of all the small but great things in our lives!

      So, I think this playdate has been making the blog rounds. We've enjoyed reading all about our friends at:

        Thanks so much for partcipating in the Virtual Playdate! My daughter N and I loved to read about your 3 cuties! I really like how J donated hair, that is something I want N to do if she decides to cut her hair.

        Wow, that's amazing! J is currently obsessed with all things Mario. Previously there have been Pokemon and Zelda phases... And the guitar skills are coming along - it's neat b/c I know NOTHING about how to play the guitar so he has been really independent at figuring it out.
