Here you go. It’s a bit on the long side, but there are several activities included: phoning, singing, boofing, sock-stretching, and a wee bit o’ walking. Just day-in-the-life stuff. Hope you enjoy!

Multiple Steps!… and final Baby Bits?
Yay! Yesterday, our little boy walked! He was having fun practicing standing alone, with both arms in the air (looking like he was about to take off flying), so Sean and I tried walking him between us as we sat across from each other. Suddenly, he can take four or five steps at a time! All…
Requestion #5: Canadian Icons
In your estimation, who is the most famous Canadian in Canada today? I suppose Stephen Harper comes to mind… but I don’t know many Grade 2 kids who care about him. In Grade 2, the boys care about Sidney Crosby and the girls care about Avril Lavigne… but not vice-versa. It occurred to me the…
Son of a Horn
Today E pointed at our shoe horn and said, “Mama.” Auntie Em and I chuckled and said, “Is that your mama?” and handed it to him. He smiled affectionately at the shoe horn and gave it a kiss on its pointy plastic mouth, then carried it with him into the living room. This is it:…
Baby Bits XXIV – Fifteen Months Old
We celebrated today by finally finding a spot for E’s very own blue glass ball for his room (a gift from Auntie Beth). I wish I could capture in my memory forever the way his smile looks – full of wonder and joy – when he watches it spinning. He also took approximately two steps!…
Labour Day
School tomorrow! Glad to have had a PD day, last Thursday, to warm up. Looking forward to seeing the kids (most of ’em), catching up with my colleagues, doing fun first-day activities that aren’t really curricular… Hoping to remember everything (like my lunch) – especially on Thursday when I need to drop E off at…
Baby Bits XXIII
It’s been a busy couple weeks in Baby Bits Land! Some of you will have read Auntie Em’s Facebook status from yesterday: “Today Evi played with magnets on the fridge while I made lunch. By the time we were ready to eat, he could identify all of them by pointing or speaking: Fish, Butterfly, Alligator…
BANG Movie Review: Inception
The other night, dears, Hallelujah! E’s parents finally got to see that movie everyone’s talking about. It MESSES WITH YOUR MIND.
Mad Libs on an American Classic
Many of my loved ones are having rough times these days. This is for you! Maybe it will bring a smile to your faces for a moment. Three sisters and one boyfriend came up with this Mad Libs chef d’oeuvre during a half-day at the water park. I hope you can sing The Boxer by…
Baby Bits XXII
E is starting to use words in conjunction with each other, to refine the concepts he can communicate. It’s pretty cool! He started with “chair pop”, when one of the bubbles we blew popped against the lawn chair; then there’s “nose hole”, one of his favourite things on himself or anyone; and the other day…
