Bath time
Things you never want to hear from the bathroom when Emmett and Oscar are having a bath:
Emmett and Oscar's dad hollering...'HELP! I've got a code brown in here! Oscar just pooped the tub!'
(Just like his older brother, who did the same thing four years ago).

Canada Votes 2015
It's what people without a TV do on election night...
(Remember the days when you went to bed on election night, not knowing the results until you woke up the next morning? Yeah, half of StranMcCann is that old.)

Grade 1
And away we go! A very excited Emmett was up at 6:30am, dressed by 6:32, packed by 6:38, and vibrating with excitement until it was time to walk to school at 8:15am.
Happy first day of Grade 1, not-so-little one.

Our green hero
This is how Emmett and Oscar's Mommy supplements her income. She enters contests! It was fun to see Daddy on TV and bring home a $200 gift card.

The tooth fairy makes another visit
Emmett's Mom is becoming quite skilled at extracting teeth. Number two wiggly tooth was causing Emmett some pain, so she helped it along. Emmett is excited for the tooth fairy to arrive tonight, "to take my tooth, and give me some money so I can pay down my debt*!"
(*emmett is currently in the hole $37 to his mom after he 'won' a toy at a silent auction.)

Mother's Day
Unbeknownst to Oscar, Emmett presents his mother with a gift that places him firmly in the spot of favourite son.

Orange is the new blue?
Overheard at StranMcCann this evening:
"This is so stressful. I don't know what to watch - the election results, the Flames game or the weather radar because a storm is coming in."
Yes, it's a big and potentially historic day in Emmett and Oscar's province. After 44 years in power, Alberta might be saying goodbye to the conservatives, hello to NDP.
But more importantly, Village Ice Cream was giving out free cones to those who took selfies outside of polling stations. Never one to pass up a freebie, Emmett and Oscar's mom propped up Oscar for a shot, and headed down after school for the sweet treat. The boys now believe voting = ice cream. Yay democracy!

Night in a fort
After building a fort in the basement, Emmett decides he wants to sleep in it. At least he won't be disturbed by his little brother (who recently decided wakeup time was at 5am).

Long live the Tooth Fairy
After weeks of wiggling, emmettillius stranmccannii finally parts with his first loose tooth...
...with a little help from his Mom.
Emmett's dad has convinced Emmett that the Tooth Fairy will leave him a sandwich in exchange for his tooth.
Long live the Tooth Fairy! (What is the going rate for teeth these days anyways?)

Firsts
The first month of 2015 is over. Seems like a good time to recap a few firsts from the StranMcCann household:
First night sharing a room. After spending the first 15 months of his life in the basement, Oscar proceeds to catcall his big brother from the confines of his crib. And decides he doesn't want to sleep through the night anymore. All of StranMcCann are sleep deprived.
First haircut. Traumatizing, for both mommy and Oscar. His long hockey hair locks have been removed.
First loose tooth. It's been wiggly for weeks, teasing Emmett and delaying a much anticipated visit from the tooth fairy.
And finally, first report card. Emmett's parents are still trying to understand and figure out the new grading system (which is numerical, not alphabetical like when they went to school. What does a 3 mean?)
