Mr. Baby's Visit

Mr. Baby and his handlers stayed for 10 days.  Now, Janet is sad as the house is so quiet.  However, you know the Canadian version of Mary Poppins - Janet likes to stay upbeat and is focusing on the positive aspects of a quiet, lonely house.  Now, they can start to replenish their life savings that have been greatly diminished with the use of hot water and laundry soap and once again have free and unfettered use of the laundry equipment!  We have even heard Janet talking about installing coin op machines in the basement before their next visit.  They are going to Winnipeg next month and will stay with Derek's Aunt and Uncle - Janet wonders if she should give them a heads up so they can start saving now!

Mr. Baby did his best to pay his own way.  He was giving Phil a hand with some computer work.  He looks quite concerned, so we are thinking he just stumbled across the price of laundry detergent! 

Mr. Baby says now he needs the new iPad and it had better be under the Christmas tree this year!

Meg and Derek went out twice in the evening while they were here.  Janet and Phil "babysat".  Actually, Mr. Baby was asleep, so all they did was monitor him.  Nowadays, it's not necessary to go and check on babies because you can have a fancy monitor that lets you know if the baby is crying.  It also tells you the temperature of the room!

Mr. Baby and his handler do some smart card exercises.  You can see how riveted he is with the cards.  He says "sheesh, I have already looked at this one!"

Mr. Baby has, however, learned how to high five with one of his handlers.

And he his learning how to swim!  We think the handlers are having more fun than Mr. Baby is.

Noodles, ever the daredevil, stole Mr. Baby's toy not once, but twice!  She really wanted the squeaky giraffe, but it was buried too deep in the bag.

To make amends, she decided to help with Mr. Baby's meal plan.

Me?  I want my breakfast.  Please?

Every single time they go to Sun Wah, they say they should have brought some plastic containers to put the leftovers in.  This same conversation has been going on for more than a year.  Finally, success!
