Up for sale

Poor Emmett doesn't know what's hit him. Or his playroom. Once upon a time, he had free reign over the entire house, earning himself the nickname of "Destructo Man" (which was first coined by his friends Myles and Sophie H.)

With their condo up for sale, his toys have been tucked away, forts disassembled, and "Destructo Man" has been stopped in his tracks. He runs into the living room each morning, and stops, puzzled, at the vacant space once occupied by toys.
Keeping a condo 'show ready' is exhausting with an almost two year old.

Fortunately, there are lots of neighbourhood playgrounds Emmett can wreck havoc at. Which he does, on a regular basis, when potential buyers come through.

(Oh, and p.s. Emmett's parents have a great condo for sale, if you know someone who is looking).

The fortunes of Chinese food

Emmett's parents put their condo up for sale this week, and celebrated by going out to the food court for chinese food dinner. Emmett made his first attempt at using chopsticks and almost got the hang of it.

Of course, no chinese food meal is complete without a fortune cookie, so once the ginger beef and stir fried veggies were gone, Emmett tried a fortune cookie.

Emmett's parents had to rescue the fortune from making it's way into Emmett's intestines. It's a good thing they did. Their fortune tonight seems like a good sign for a quick sale next week.
