This has become an after nap time ritual in our house… These three wooden puzzles perfectly in line, the pieces strewn upon the floor, some chill music, and a very determined little puzzle master at work. Oh ya – some serious bed head is also necessary.

Gracen’s Favourite “Game”
I swear Grae could do this all day long everyday. A cozy spot + a good book + someone to ask questions = one very content little lady.
G’s Impression of her Cousin, Kinslee
Scarily accurate. But we ADORE the screechy little munchkin anyways. ☺
An Afternoon Downtown
There’s something wonderful about downtown Vancouver on a sunshiny day. The crowds seem more laid-back, the people are friendlier, and the sidewalks are lined with performers, artists, and vendors, making it perfectly okay to saunter along leisurely. So, with yet another gorgeous Vancouver day upon us, Gracen and I packed up our stroller, jumped on the Canada Line, and made our way downtown. Despite Grae’s surprisely long 3 hour nap, we were lucky enough to make it in time to spend most of Bradley’s lunch hour with him. We walked along the sidewalks, sat on the art gallery steps, watched an amazing percussion group, and visited Grae’s favourite place – the kids’ section of Chapters.
Gracen enjoyed every minute and was such a little gem all afternoon that we ended up pushing it a little late, eating dinner on the train, skipping bath time, and arriving home to read a couple of stories and crawl into bed. ♥
Smarty Pants
While doing a little bit of organizing tonight, I came across these picture cards Grandma Charlotte gave to Gracen months ago. At the time, Grae was more into chewing on them than looking at them, but that’s not the case any more. She immediately opened the box, placed several on the floor, and said “Mama?” in the way she does when she wants me to ask her about something. This is the first time she laid eyes on them since she was 10 months old. Smart little doodle. I have a feeling we’ll be doing a lot of this in the next few days…
Animal Sounds by Grae
Just sitting in the bathroom making animal sounds… Business as usual in the Kossowara household.
Passionate About ‘Papa’s Song’
Our milk-covered, messy-haired music lover jamming out to The Black Keys‘ Howlin’ for You (a.k.a., ‘Papa’s song’). I could watch this on repeat until the end of time and never tire of it…
Goat Petting
My little animal lover in action…
A Comical Breakfast
Everything about this video makes me giggle… From the fist pump dancing, to the painful spoon-to-mouth journey, and the not being able to continue on until that single cottage cheese curd is retrieved from her lap. Morning comedy at its finest, I tell ya…
Matching
A little bit of pre-bedtime colouring matching…
Morning Puzzles
Goodness gracious, I love this little lady.
Animal Admirer
Gracen loves being read to, but more than anything these days, she wants to be asked to point out certain things while flipping through books. Mix that with the fact that she’s completely and totally obsessed with animals, and there’s really no reading books about animals. This is what happens instead.
And she could go on and on and on…
Must. Smell. Flowers.
No wonder our walks take so long…
The Man With the Ow-ah
It’s so much easier to be away for the day when I get videos like these from my two loves..
