Weekend Trip | Niagara Falls Ontario

So last weekend was a long weekend for us here in Canada and well spur of the moment we decided that we would go for a small day trip down to Niagara Falls. It is pretty nice down there with lots of area to walk and of course lots to see. Anyways, I took a few pictures while we were down there and I thought I would share them! Sorry this is a bit late .. I had actually typed it all out and had it ready to go when my internet messed up on me and it turned out not to be saved! Anyways here it is ..

As soon as he saw all the water his first question was to go swimming! What a monkey!

Mommy & her lil man!

He had so much fun looking through the ..what are they called again ... hm viewers? lol

There was a parked displayed RCMP cruiser and boy did he have a blast posing for pictures in front of it!

We sat on the grass by the falls for a bit taking some fun pics!

We are all looking in different directions but, I think we look good ;)

I think he enjoyed the day! Topped it off with a big lollipop!

What do you and your family like to do on long weekends or vacations?

TRANSITION : High Chair to Big Boy Table

Hope everyone is doing well ! I have had a fun past two days spending lots of time with my little man! This past weekend was a easy one for me since I just finished a module at school and don't have any school work or studying to do. 

On Friday we went to visit a friend of mine who has a daughter who is only a couple of days older then Deen. They had a blast to say the least. While there it hit me ... Deen really enjoys being able to sit at his own little table! So I decided to go on a hunt for a cute set! 

Now I went online a checked out toy r us.. they had some cute ones so I thought I would go check it out in store. Sadly they only had one option which was tinkerbell .. and well I couldn't do that! My next option was walmart but they failed me too! I did however pick up a cute mat set there! We then stopped by ikea where I found a cute little table and some cute chairs that went perfectly together. I am very happy with the little set up and Deen loves it! 

I put the set up all together while he was napping... so when he woke up we came downstairs and the smile on his face was just priceless!! He ran over and sat down asking for "Mam mam" (food/dinner/lunch) .. Then also pointing to the other chair asking me to sit .. I told him mommy could not sit cause she wouldn't fit! But, his mickey mouse stuffy sure could! So he was happy then. I then went and for him a banana to snack on till dinner. Well that was great but he informed me that mickey needed something to eat also! Such a sweetheart he is!  

Growing Pains - Mommy Why Don't You Understand Me?

So I would like to introduce you to a what i am going to try make a weekly post .. I must say I love the idea of "Reasons My Son Is Crying" tumbler page! (If you haven't seen her page check it out it is cute!) So as suggested by a close friend I thought I would take my own little spin on it and create a "Growing pains" weekly post which will consist of well the hardships my son and I faced ... I will do my best to back up my story with some great photos ^_^ .. Along with the hardships there are going to be good times so I will also share a few of those in these posts! So here we go with the moments I captured the last few days ...

Top left to right ...

-- I wouldn't let him have a fruit roll up for breakfast ..
Funny enough I never buy them! I am sending them over seas for a friend! He somehow sniffed them out .. and I now need to buy more * Deen 1 - Mommy 0 *

-- I wouldn't put on his jacket?
For once it was a fair day outside and I thought okay lets put a nice lightish jacket on you! As you can see he is wearing it ... He insisted he needed to put on his JACKET... So we ended up with our heavy winter coat! *Deen 2 - Mommy 0*

-- I wouldn't let him climb to get onto the chair he oh so sweetly placed in the most dangerous way possible.
What can I say it wasn't going to happen. *Deen 2 - Mommy 1*

Well looks like I did alright this time around! Saying no is so difficult to these little ones but, it is a must!

Now for the cute/fun times...

-- Put his hat on PROPERLY all by himself!
He was a happy camper or should I say I was ? ... For some reason he can never get his hat on the right way Ernie always seems to be on the back of his head!! Oh but, not this time!

--Helped daddy fix his car.
Well he would be all over getting a license if it was possible! He just loves helping daddy with the cars and pretend driving!

-- New Umbrella!
He was a very good boy at the shoe shop and well got this umbrella as a treat. Mommy wasn't to thrilled with him having it opened indoors not only for safety but ITS BAD LUCK! ..

What hardships have you faced this week with your children?
