Uncle Nephew Bonding

Yesterday Magnus and I went to visit Uncle Reg and his spiffy new jeans.  We decided to walk to the Ontario Early Years centre nearby to see what the program was like, but accidentally stumbled on a very festive and kid-friendly event: Santa in the Junction.

Though unversed in Santa lore, Magnus had a really good time pushing his stroller around and taking in the spectacle.  He was not really impressed with Santa himself, who actually specially walked over to talk to him and tell him how cute he looked.  Poor Santa doesn't normally see kids play hard-to-get.

Here are some pictures Reg took with his phone (also posted on facebook):

After a very nice lunch with his uncle, we dropped in his apartment for a bio break and some "Chee Vee!".

Forgot to add some pictures of Magnus brandishing his stroller to keep Uncle Reg from catching him:

On the way home, Magnus power napped in the car, and was not at all in the mood to nap at home.  It might have been the fact that Uncle Jenning was watching Family Guy in the computer room next door. Fortunately, Uncle Jenning was up for a quick trip to the park, and proved to be a very fun swing pusher after all.

Rounding up the Uncle-ness of the day, we had a quick visit from Great Uncle Lam, who in my opinion was about 10 time jollier with his Cantonese singing than Santa was that morning.  Magnus still played hard-to-get but I squeezed out a "Hi" from him.   He's unfortunately much more comfortable saying "Bubye-ee" and will say it nicely to just about anyone!
