Wyatt has been showing a lot more interest in Paige over the past few days. He's always very concerned if he can't see her (if she's in her bassinet or crib). He's slowly warming up. :)

We went for a nice long walk to Josh's grandparents' for supper. Wyatt stayed in the stroller all the way there, but was asking to get out halfway home. I obliged, but only because Josh was with me and this way if Wyatt decided to play in traffic again, I'd be able to chase him down appropriately. Thankfully, he listened this time.
And Paige was on her best behaviour, happily obliging anyone that wanted to hold her and coo at her. Including her 4 year old cousin, who is ridiculously in love with her. Adorable.

Wyatt helped me make cookies this evening. He loves to help with anything that's going on in the kitchen, which can be a little unnerving at times (like when he wants to "help" with something on the stove). He knows the oven is hot, so he does back up when I open it, thank goodness.
Josh took Paige and Wyatt to visit his grandma this afternoon, and I wisely used my time alone to go grocery shopping at Superstore. :P Not surprisingly, it took me about half the time it does when I have the whole gang with me.

I wonder what she is dreaming about. :)

We finally got some sunshine today, so we ventured out into the backyard. Wyatt watered the tomato plants, the peas, the peppers, his dumptruck, his wagon, the lawnchair....you get the idea. Everything (Wyatt included) was very wet when we went back inside for supper...but he was also very happy. After supper, Josh had fire drill, so the kids and I went for a walk. It went pretty well, except when Shrek decided to hunker down in the middle of a sidewalk, and of course I had left my bags on the counter at home. I felt like a total jerk just walking away, but what else could I do? About a block from home, I let Wyatt get out of the stroller and walk on the grass (or the "corn field" as he calls it). Unfortunately he decided to exercise his toddler defiance right at the bottom of Connor Hill Drive and refused to stop or hold my hand crossing the road. Right at that moment, a car was turning and either not caring or not seeing us. I had to let go of the stroller (and dog) for a split second to grab him and drag him over to the stroller. Naturally, 2 calm and collected moms were biking past me on the street at that moment. Ugh. Oh well, I'd rather have them think I was hauling him across the sidewalk for no good reason, than have him darting in front of cars.

Although realizing I wouldn't be able to breastfeed again was very disappointing, it does mean that Josh gets a chance to bond with Paige over a bottle. That's quite the look of adoration in her eyes. :)

One week old.
