He's in Oh Canada!


Yeah...you can tell he's from Canada by his colour. :wink:

Actually, I thought AP was from England for some weird reason.

He is, but he couldn't take England's warm tropical weather, so he emigrated to the land of poutine and hockey.

The glass is at least as strong as that. It's been three years and we haven't broken anything.


Oh my lord...the child is like a miniature Chevy Chase...seriously. He's knocked loose one tooth, knocked out two teeth (baby teeth, thankfully), and broken one (a permanent) in half...all on separate occasions. He falls up stairs, crashes his bike frequently, and has destroyed more things that I thought couldn't be destroyed than all of us in this house put together. No hyperbole. If it can be broken, he'll find a way to break it. I absolutely DREAD the day this child gets his driver's license. He has no appropriate sense of fear when it comes to doing insane things like jumping off the 10th step. :?

I do think this is gorgeous though. Even without Mr. Destructo around, I don't think either me or my husband would have the skill...the workmanship on that thing is just amazing. I'd love to have something like that to replace the railing around our loft.

Come to think of it, I'm surprised he hasn't launched himself over the railing yet. LOL
