Cookies and Crayons

As a budding Montreal Canadiens fan deep in the heart of Texas, Dougie needs to take advantage of every opportunity he can to watch his favourite team. Usually that means waiting until they play the Dallas Stars, which only happens once or twice a year. That day was Sunday, and Dougie absolutely insisted that we watch. I couldn’t say no.

The boys before the game:

Watching the action

Dougie’s still learning how to sit through a whole hockey game — so we took a little break

Later, Dougie learned the concept of a “goon”

For the record, Montreal won the game 3-1, and then fired their coach. Some guys can’t deal with success!

Though we received nothing but encouraging comments about Dougie’s musical debut. We thought perhaps he should have a fall back art option. So, Dougie has been working more on fine art.

He’s even tried working as a team.

That was less successful.

We’re calling this his primary color period.

The subject really says it all. Scott and I had Chinese food for diner and Dougie wanted to try to eat with a pair of chop sticks. As you can imagine, it wasn’t his most successful meal.

We have our party for the Rainbow Room tomorrow. As you may guess, we’re having lots of rainbow themed treats. I am most proud of these:

They came out of the oven looking a bit weird

But it looks pretty good out of the pan

The inside came out as I expected too!

And that’s all that’s left

Dougie loves to play outside. He especially loves to play with Oliver. They run up and down the fence line together. Oliver will faithfully follow him as he walks around the yard. It is very cute. We can’t wait until Dougie is a little bigger and can play with them outside. Until then…
