He’s familiar with lattes (let’s just leave it at that).
Dipping.
He can name an impressive number of local marine-life: sharks, stingrays, sea turtles, jelly fish, belugas, dolphins, and all kinds of fish thanks to the Vancouver Aquarium.
Sea turtle!
He eats sushi.
Miso soup is a good place to start.
His friends represent a range of ethnicities.
He spent his first year-and-half in a muddy buddy.
He experiences planet confusion and may think the sun is actually the moon.
He owns an umbrella, and rubber boots are his most-worn footwear.
He makes frequent requests to “throw rocks in the ocean.”
Whoa!
He takes puddle splashing to a whole new level.
He has no idea what mitts are for.
He’s seen a Dragon Dance.
Gung Hey Fat Choy
He’s been brainwashed by his Dad into thinking the Canucks had a chance at The Cup.
Go Canucks Go!
Love this post and all so true. The aquarium check. Lattes check. When playing restaurant, the kids always ask if they can “make” me a latte.
About 6 months ago, Theo ran up to the counter and yelled “HEY LADY! LATTE!” I was half laughing; half mortified.

Yes! Emily also loves bubble tea and associates going to the mall with getting some bubble tea. And oh my how she eats tuna rolls.
Bubble Tea! Of course. We have two near the house. Must introduce Theo

The Precious now knows that Starbucks (he knows the symbol) is where mummy gets her coffee. How said is that? And what did we have last night – sushi!!!!
Ha ha ha! I love that muddy buddy! I’ve never seen one before! I want one. I want to move to Vancouver!
I love this! such a cultured child. and he gets out a lot!
The kid in the blue coat at the Aquarium – he’s the Precious!
Very good, I think it would apply to our toddlers here on the island as well.
Oh yes, and along the lines of sushi: Em, when first presented with snow peas, exclaimed “Edamame!” Love that kid.
love this post! I came across your blog as my friend posted a link from your article on adoptive mothers in a magazine. I’m also a Vancouverite and will be following your blog…Cheers!
