Life is still busy, Micah is now 2 and we need another vacation!

Hello again,

After reading Jenn's blog this evening, it has prompted me to do a little update.

As you can see from the title, Life seems to be busy all the time! Why is it that way....all the time???

It makes me wonder how it will be when we have two kids! Yikes! I am truly enjoying my one right now and will appreciate every moment with him for sure.

Where do I begin? Micah is 2!

I will start with my 2 year old sweetheart! He is the sweetest, smartest kids I know! Of course I'm biased but he is such a sweetie. I have lost track of the many words that he is putting together. Everyday there seems to be a funny 3 word sentence that comes out of his mouth. Like "Mommy, Sat down!" or "Micah do it" or "Cas, Nuff!" when Cas is barking. She loves Cassy though...he even asks to walk Cas..well, actually more like 'Micah-walk-Cas!.


He has an amazing memory for a 2 year old. He can name all of his uncles and aunties and cousins...and of course Grandma and Grandpa. He remembers people's names and will actually associate something that he saw or did with that person. Like, 'Uncle Gord, Tar (for Guitar) or Grandma, (Park with Danny the Dinosaur) or 'Uncle Chris and Auntie Evie (Bike! - for giving him a tricycle for his birthday)

or Auntie 'ngele and Maya (for Auntie Angele and her cat Maya) and one last one...Uncle Todd! White! Frisbee! Yeah, pretty amazing memory.

He has also perfected his colors and his shapes. He is almost good with counting except he is missing a few numbers...right now he will count 1,2,3,4,6,9,10! Still pretty good for a 2 year old I think. He is also recognizing a few letters like the letter 'O' and the letter 'T'. I bought him the Leap Frog letter magnets and that is how he is learning his letters right now.

We have craft day every day and we either draw, play with playdough, cut some stuff using the funky scissors or read our books from the library.

He has also graduated from his Toddler and Tots 2 in swimming and I'm very proud of him for that. I am looking forward to more swimming with him for sure this summer.

We got hit with an awful flu this past week so we haven't been outdoors much...but the kid LOVES to play with his Dad's Ultimate frisbee and LOVES to kick his soccer ball! Looking forward to summer! and getting better!

Ok, next....Life is still busy!

As for Mark and I, running two businesses is a 24 hour job! He has been extremely busy with his new Sport Sandbag product and we are so very excited! Check out his new product at: www.velocityfitness.ca

Pete Estrabrooks has written a very good article about it and you can check it out here.

He was also featured on Shaw TV this past Monday...so with all the media frenzy around him, bedtime at the Eshpeter household is 1:30 am (even if you are sick!).

Marky, I'm proud of you for working so hard for us!

As for moi, I am fortunate enough to have continuous flow of clients. Now that I'm starting my year 2 of my biz, I definitely have a good set of clients to just support me this year. As you can see from my site, I haven't had a chance to update my portfolio but will post once it is done!

As you can see, on the last sentence of my title- we need another vacation!

Will try to post some pictures on the next update.

Ciao for now!
