March - Out like a lamb

March slipped right past me. I think Ronan is keeping me away from posting and writing about his activities. We continue to be amazed by his language skills, we are living with a third person. He talks in full sentences, uses verb tenses and pronouns. Gone are the days of signing. To think that was only just 10 months ago that we relied heavily on signing to help us understand each other.

Here are a few snapshots of the last month. Hard to get a "great" photo of a two year old as they are often too engrossed in their activities too look up. I know I was told by many moms that I should treasure those beautiful photo's I had because when he turned two there would be no photo's for several years. So these truly are the best of what I've been able to capture.

March is all about St. Patrick's Day and Daddy's Birthday. Daddy's birthday! Just after giving Daddy his birthday present.

Eating chocolate cake at the pub!

The Markham boys came to celebrate too, well really they came for March break, but who's complaining. Great to see them. I know Ronan loved the visit.
Visiting the Orleans snowman.


A visit to Embrum to see "the boys". Frederic(18months), Ronan, Henri(3.5yrs). We should visit more often.

I snapped this one of Ronan just after breakfast. He sits at the table like a big boy now, typically on his knees, but no booster seat for him.



Ah Hockey! As soon as the driveways cleared Ronan was out playing hockey. He's even got his own suitably sized stick.



Ronan's last two incisors are finally coming through. He just had 1 more set of molars to come in and we'll be off to the dentist for a check up. He's able to brush his teeth on his own now IF he chooses to do so.

We've had typical toddler behavior, not wanting to go to bed, getting up many times before he finally settles in, lots of crying when he arrives home from daycare as he wants to be outside!!!

He's able to name shapes for oval, circle, square, rectangle, triangle and diamond. We see shapes everywhere we go.

Ronan has been enjoying Sunday school most weekends and he also enjoys the odd visit to the Kids Zone at the grocery store. We love our Independent Grocer! They have a great play structure.
