I was clerking spring Committee Meeting at Camp NeeKauNis this weekend, and other than lack of sleep on Friday night (I never sleep well my first night in a strange bed), it was full of those moments I relish: Getting hugs from people I love and don’t see often enough; Business meeting going so smoothly…

How do you recognize a baby’s first word?
E has been doing a lot of verbalizing recently. It’s sophisticated language, full of complicated syllables that seem quite significant, especially when accompanied by his earnest nodding. I can’t help but wonder what he’s saying – or if it’s like when you’re a kid and you write lines of scribbles because it looks like grown-up…
Freakin’ Talented Asian Mini-Pops
Just for fun… Here’s a clip someone sent me. It’s GREAT. Maybe you’ve seen this little dude before, if you’re a YouTube troller, but he’s worth a watch. The cutest parts happen near the end, so keep watching. You can’t not smile! I do worry about his tiny ears, though – he can’t be doing…
Recipe: Ricotta Tots
I’m a distributor for the Pampered Chef, as many of you already know. I’m not really supposed to talk about it online, because of publicity regulations, but I recently stumbled upon the blog of a Consultant who links from her blog to her personal Pampered Chef website (BIG no-no!). So until they clamp down on…
From the Pages of Mini-Di: My Birthday!
Written on this day, 25 years ago. (How about that. I’ve been journalling for a quarter-century!) May 11 ’85 I loved my birthday! I got a “my little pony Bow tie”! I also got this diary! I got paper and art Kit! The favors were lovely! Necklaces were from Ben. And 35c! I also got…
In Honour of Mother’s Day
We had a nice Mother’s Day – my first as a full-fledged mother! It included going to Meeting in Hamilton, which I wish I did more often. E joined us for some of that and made cute noises that people enjoyed in the silence. Later on, we gathered with my parents and sisters and friend…
Eleven Months Old
Dear E, This is your last monthiversary before I go back to work – I’ll have a full day of work on your birthday. đ But today, you are eleven months old and you are a wonderful little person! You are growing and learning so fast it’s mind-boggling. Just in the last couple weeks, you…
AND First Dunk.
Here’s the other key part: the first two dunks! They say that if you blow in your baby’s face, he’ll hold his breath for dunking. It worked for us. It was darn cute! I was so proud of how E took to this whole pool thing like a PRO. I think it’s because Daddy pours…
E’s First Time at the Pool
Yesterday, E and I, along with Auntie Em and three mom friends of mine and their little ones, went to the pool! It was E’s first time playing in water other than his bath – I know, we’re a bit slow off the mark with this one. Lots of babies E’s age have been to…

Check out what we saw today while we were out. (We didn’t actually take this picture – the “accessory” we saw was silver.)
