Mexican Doctor?

Fin started talking about Mexican Doctor the other night to Steve, leaving Steve baffled until he realised that Mexican Doctor was actually Mr. Conductor, a character from Fin's favourite Thomas the Tank Engine movie. Toddler accent is even trickier than the local Cantonese accent sometimes! Speaking of which, Evelyn has been teaching Fin Cantonese phrases and apparently Fin is impressing all the locals they run into by greeting them in Cantonese. Brag moment here - apparently he even uses the correct intonation! Maybe he can teach Steve and I next!

Fin attended his first Birthday party here. As you can see he went as Spiderman and even consented to having his face painted! Although he wouldn't go as far as wearing the face mask that came with the costume. The Birthday party sounds like it was quite an impressive affair. I don't know if we will be able to keep up with the Joneses in that department. They had a facepainter, a balloon "artist", an entertainer and they gave away gift wrapped presents as party favours. Ack! When I think child's Birthday party I think cake, ice-cream and a pinata - DONE!

Fin had his first day of Stepping Stones - playgroup where he gets left on his own - today. Apparently he settled in really well and was perfectly happy to be on his own. It makes me a little teary! ;) Potty time is one of the scheduled activities at Stepping Stones and Evelyn was a little disturbed when Fin came home wearing a pink diaper! Apparently I was expected to send him with a change of diaper but being the somewhat negligent mom that bedrest has made me, I didn't send one.

I had a check-up last Friday and the twins continue to measure large. Yay! The boy has always presented first up until now - the girl has managed to wiggle her way into pole position. The race is on!

In an attempt to get these guys to at least 34 weeks I am confined to the apartment at least until then. However, I am going to sneak a break on the 26th to attend a lecture and lunch about having twins. I'm very excited about the outing!

Steve has had a little more time in the last week and we've all had such a wonderful time hanging out together. Steve took Fin to the zoo on Sunday and they had a fantastic time. Steve taught Fin to call "Yoo-hoo!" to the animals to get their attention and now Fin calls out Yoo-hoo! all the time. Very cute!
