C is for Cookie

 

Earlier this week, a care package arrived from NoVA. It contained a hockey-themed book for NorthernToddler and a bag of the much-anticipated Candy Corn Oreos. NorthernToddler insisted on two things: that the book be read immediately and that the cookies be shared with the whole family. (Does he really think that NorthernDaddy would snarf down all of the cookies and not share? Well, of course he does - he knows Daddy!)

 

NorthernToddler and NorthernDaddy are grateful for the care package. Knowing NorthernDaddy's poor record of sending thank-you notes, the boys decided to make signs and post them on this blog to show their appreciation.(NorthernMommy is grateful too; it's just that she wasn't home to make a sign....)

Is It October Yet?

NorthernMommy and Daddy don't have the heart to tell Toddler about the impending NHL lockout, especially since he just got his gear for the Beginner Hockey program that he's joining next month. NorthernToddler is stoked about his gear - he got a helmet, pads, skates and a new stick. He's had the stuff for less than five hours and has "practiced" putting on and taking off each piece of gear about a million times. (All the better for Mommy and Daddy - if he can get all his gear on by himself, that's more time for them to drink coffee and try to stay warm!)

Argh! Pirate Goaler! (No goalie gear for Toddler yet - he's got to learn to skate and play before goalie work begins. He did try to con Mommy and Daddy into buying a set of goalie pads, but they caught on: the one leg pad was taller than Toddler. No deal, kid.)

 Fierce. Toddler is ready for the game...
