Oi
Man, it feels like forever since I've posted. Here's the lowdown on our activities lately:
Saoirse and family have moved in and even dropped by for an unexpected visit last week! The fire alarm went off in their tower, so after hauling it down 17 flights of stairs and across the lot with baby, diaper bag, and dog in tow, they arrived at our door! Whee! Mika was just on her way up for a bath and bed, so Saoirse had free reign over Mika's toys! Woot! Kris was in her PJ's and I in my sweats, so there goes any concern over "What will she say/think if I am wearing _______". Some jerks left their old mattresses by the garbage bin beside the towers. Some bigger jerks came along and set the mattresses on fire - even melted the security camera. Nice.
G turned 104 on Friday. Mika and I took the day off school and work respectively and were social butterflies all day. First we went over to visit Kris and Saoirse. They have some seriously nice digs. Will be even nicer when all traces of the former tenants are gone. I wish I had their balcony to sleep on. It's huge! Mika was loving looking out across the city from the 17th Floor, which was making me wig out with paranoia. The girls seemed happy to hang out together too. Saoirse was showing Mika the torture device that her Mama uses on her when Mama wants a shower - that being a swing. They shared some juice and cheerios and Mika and I were on our way over to G's. First we met up with Grandma - she was G's only visitor when we arrived. Soon after that, Auntie Laura (bling bling) arrived with my Uncle Brett and cousins Sheena, Kendrick, and Ken's wife Joanna. Mika hadn't seen Uncle Brett in a year and she had never met Ken, Sheena, and Joanna, so it was a party. Shortly after that, Josh arrived with Ava and Evan. I so want to steal his children. That Ava...and wee Evan - you'd just have to experience them for yourself. Ever the loving Daddy, Josh fed Ava some cola slurpee and she put on a bit of a show for us. Nothing like sugaring up a 3 year old for some quick entertainment! We all had some of G's birthday cake, except G. She wanted the box of timbits that I had brought her instead. Silly woman, but who will argue with a 104 year old on her birthday? Not I.
Dad: we weren't in G's room for most of the time and it was noisy in there when we were which is why I didn't call you.
Daddy picked us up after work and away we went back home finally. Mika had a nap in the morning, but no sleep in the afternoon, so she was quite wild by the time we got home. We let her stay up later than usual to burn off some of the 2nd wind energy and the kid was just nuts! It was like watching her usual routines on fast forward.
Mika and Daddy went to visit Nana on Saturday while I came into work to get a couple of things done. Sunday was our day to ourselves. We took Mika to the playground for awhile. She was shy about it, but liked it nonetheless. I made her go down the slides with me a few times, played with her on the teeter-totter, and she swung with Daddy. Watching her try to walk in the sand was amusing. Then there was the inevitable shopping and such. Meh. Kerry and Damon came over last night to dropoff an order just as Mika had woken with an earache. The kid was screaming bloody murder beyond anything. Daddy finally calmed her down by using a warm compress and bringing Mika down to see Auntie Kerry and Uncle Damon. Mika, of course, put on a show for them. No tears or screams, just playing coy peekaboos with them. She is such a little ham. I think Damon may count as Mika's first crush - she really has a thing for him.
