6/52




a portrait of my children, once a week, every week in 2013 via Che and Fidel


He : chilling out in his "nest" made of lycra, a good place to unwind from the first two weeks of school.  So far, grade 2 has left him happy and settled, we are all slowly exhaling.

She : Playing "Go Fish" with some new alphabet cards. Breaking into song on finding the Narwhal card.

    I love your photos this week!
    Your boy certainly looks settled...at least in that nest!
    And so much excitement about the narwhal!
    We have those same cards and I must admit my reaction was more along the lines of is narwhal really the only animal that starts with n?

      There is a song on youtube all about narwhals. It is hideous in a very funny addictive way. We stumbled across it while researching a show and tell 4 months ago for Roboboy and I swear someone in the family starts singing it at least weekly. Google narwhal song on youtube if you dare!

    I've never heard of narwhals so have just been to listen to that song and now I can't stop grinning. I swear yours is the only blog I read that has me thinking of private parts or in this case listening about them!

    That narwhal song is a bit of a brain worm isn't it? Glad to hear of your exhale. Look how relaxed he is about photos now too!
    Such lovely pictures of happy, happy children. Well done on both counts.
