Lillian explains how to make a volcano
Click here if you would like to hear Lillian explain butterfly metamorphosis (video from April 2011).
In April of 2011 we also produced three episodes of "Joy of Painting 2" - Lillian's parody of Bob Ross' "Joy of Painting." In Episode 2 (click here) you can really feel the joy!

Mama's dinner
Lillian made my dinner too.
We bought a very small octopus and Lillian stir-fried it for me.
Before .....
After .....
Hip Hop routine
On December 15th, Lillian will have her first Hip Hop recital. This is today's rehearsal.
Enjoy!
There is a sushi chef in the house
Lillian was in charge of dinner this evening.
She decided to make sushi.
First, we went to the grocery store
Then, when we got home Lill took over the preparations:
Measuring and cooking the rice ...
Preparing seaweed ...
Putting it all together and rolling the sushi ...
Cutting the roll ....
And, of course, enjoying it.

Crazy Saturday weather
After Hip Hop class, Lillian and I had a treat from one of our favorite bakeries called Dough in the Danforth. It was a beautiful and sunny morning.
5 minutes later, this happened. It snowed on us while we were still walking down the street??!!!

We received a ton of amazing gifts. Thank you!
We will showcase some of them as we open them. We are taking our time.
Two of the gifts that we have enjoyed already are:
Red hair spray ...
... and a practice skateboard called "Yo Baby". It's a skateboard without wheels.

Disco Dance Party
For Lillian's birthday party we went to Breakout Studios. It's an underground disco club for kids. Everyone was invited to come in costume and I did extra face painting for the kids and grandparents.
It was loud, with bright flashing lights, toilet paper, bubble wrap, two chocolate cakes (made by Peter), a DJ and an MC, pizza, and ice cream.
Thank you, everyone, for coming!
The party rocked!!!
