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!

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…
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…
Baby Bits XXI
Here are a couple of clips. They demonstrate the love of BOOM. Check them out and see whom YOU think is the Boom King. This one works best when there are pillows or even a drum to boom on… but in a pinch, just use whatever’s handy.
If you own or have ever owned or liked or known a cat…

Dilovely’s Top 10 Pick-Me-Ups
The other day, I was in a funk. I’d had some news from my school board that made me feel frustrated and undervalued, and once I felt like that, every other little thing made me feel worse. E was in a cranky mood and doing his whiny cry for no reason all the time, and…
Just for shiggles…
Here’s a little something I love. Folks… it’s the Drive-In Intermission! I can’t explain why I love it, since it’s quite awful… but I do. From the creepy happy “Yum yum” faces, to the attempts to make fast food sound nourishing, to the censorious “love bug” comment (you’d think this warning is really too late…
E Not Liking Grass, Part II: Hindu Gods
I’ve uploaded the sequel to Mission Impossible Baby, just to showcase the diversity of E’s talents. 🙂 Here, he avoids grass by striking poses that you will note are very similar to sculptures of dancing Hindu divinities. In my belly dance class, we’ve been learning some Indian-inspired choreography, and how it’s all about the bends…
Mission Impossible Baby
E doesn’t like grass. He is learning to like clover flowers, individually, and he doesn’t mind being near grass. He just doesn’t want to put any part of his body right on or in it. Here is the first example of how much he doesn’t like it – note how he will deign to strum…
