Hazel’s afterschool program had a "showcase" yesterday, where each class did a dance routine, and they had projects from the last few months on display. Hazel loved performing the routine.

Had a very long weekend at the shop this weekend. But tonight was nice. A good dinner cooked by Kim, and then a nice time assembling Lego with Hazel. Lego was my favorite growing up. Only problem now is that Hazel doesn’t need any help

Hazel has been having a bit of a tough time with me returning to the working world. The other day she requested a daddy-Hazel date. 🙂

Me: Margot, you can have string cheese when you help Hazel clean up the Play-Doh. M: I can’t…. (Wailing). I can’t! Me: why not? M: me a Froggy. Froggies don’t have hands! (Wailing continues)

My little snuggle bunny. For a while Margot was super, super into Kim, and would say things like "Me not like Daddy, me want mommy". I know it’s normal and usual for kids to go through stages like that, but I had a hard time

Margot is quite fond of it these days. She also frequently insists on being called froggy herself.

Margot and I are out and about today. Since I let Hazel have a "Anything you want " treat at Starbucks the other day, I made the same offer to Margot. She chose the organic fruit squeeze pouch. I asked her why she chose that.

I don’t think I’ve ever met a person as enthusiastic about passion fruit as Margot, especially for a toddler.

She did have a little help, but Olaf was her idea.

Hazel was just sobbing inconsolably because I told her we were going to her friends house for Thanksgiving. She said "But I thought we could go to my cousins house for trick or treat." I said, "oh ,Hazel, not this year, sorry" Wailing, "…..but I

Oat flour pancakes and homemade jam on Sunday morning

We have a family tradition of the birthday person getting to choose birthday dinner. Hazel chose sushi, but specifically said that she wanted to make it. And she asked to make panna cotta, so she and I spent a good chunk of the afternoon in

Hazel was convinced that "Mommy would Looooooove one of these" I think she might have been projecting.

Margot and I "played" a Peppa pig game tonight.

Kim put Hazels hair in a bun, then left for work. Margot was upset she didn’t get a "bun like ga-je". This was my attempt. It’s a ponytail folded in half. You know those feel good news stories about hair classes for dads? I need

Hazels skills need some improvement

Last week Margot and I met up with Poppy and my friend Ryan for a trip to ride the ponies. Fun, and it was super cute that Margot was really exited to see Poppy. "Me like Poppy. Her nice". I’m struggling to find balance as

Margot wailed when Kidspace was closed. She loves it there. Recovered quickly at the playground

Hazel is excited to learn to dive in 5 years. They had a fish ID card and she was trying hard to find them all.

I was missing the girls today, so I quit work early and picked up the girls early for some playground time.

First day of preschool. She picked her own clothes and insisted on a backpack like ga-je (big sister). I was nervous, I’ve never even been able to leave her at the Y kids area unless Hazel was with her. But she ran in excited, we’ve

Hazel is trying to read this brochure Kim grabbed, and I’m amazed at how many Chinese words she can already recognize.
