S is a huge Doodlebops fan. He will listen to the cd over and over again and can sing roughly 75% of the lyrics on his own without the cd. He'd rather stay home and watch the show on CBC than go somewhere fun like Science World. When he's playing with his cars he'll incorporate the Doodlebop characters into his play ("Rooney's driving this car." "This one is for Dee Dee."). At mealtime he will ask what the Doodlebops or supporting characters are eating. He breakdances like Moe.

I don't fully understand his fascination with the Doodlebops. I understand the catchy pop tunes (some of them are actually well crafted) and the life lessons of the shows. But have you seen them? They are basically clown-like characters that would have scared me as a child. It's funny that he adores them so much considering he is frightened by a lot of other things he sees on dvd's or children's programs.

Has it really been 6 months since my last post?! Wow. It's ridiculous. Time has flown by and so much has happened. Do I backtrack and blog about all the things that have happened or do I blog about the present?

S is now on the verge of turning 3. Over the past few months he has morphed from a toddler into a bona fide kid. He has definitely developed his own tastes and interests so I'll blog about these soon (I promise!).

Midnight Kitchen is up and running and is doing well. Number one lesson we've learned thus far is that there's lots of learning involved and sometimes it takes us a while to figure things out.
