2010 Olympics in Vancouver

Andy and I went on a 2.5 hour car trip to Vancouver for the last day of Olympics. He was good most the way through the ride before becoming cranky. But the promise of Chinatown food kept him going for the last hour.

We parked at Riverside in Richmond and took the air train to the city (Andy liked that a lot). The torch was beautiful. We spent a long time around it (too long, should not have got into the way-too-long line for seeing it close up). Andy fell asleep during the loudest street celebration of the hockey final of CAN v.s. U.S., such lively patriotic crowd! Andy woke up shortly on the train back. We stopped by Richmond again and we were content with the food again :)

Slug at Daycare 6/7/2010

Another interesting daily summary from teacher Andrea at the daycare:

Andy had a great day! Today we painted paper grocery bags blue. We'll turn them into police men vests once they dry :) On the playground we found a slug in the garden. Andy was very cute and asked me if he oculd touch it. I said only with one finger and very softly. After he touched it he told me it was "slimy". Andy became very protective of the slug. When other children went to touch it, he'd tell htem what I told him and then he'd also tell them they could only touch it once :) It was really cute.

I can totally see him doing that, it seems to be in his nature to be caring, protective and rule abiding.

He started using the toilet at daycare lately. Hope he'll get potty trained soon.
