1. At the grocery store this evening, a cute little family is doing the shopping. Family consists of Dad driving the cart, a girl of about 8 (I guess by size, wardrobe, and status of teeth) who is riding on the front of the cart, and boy of 5 or 6, scuffling along beside, jacket…

Happy Holiday!
Sorry for my silence the last few days… dearie me, where does the time go? Just wanted to pop in and say, Happy Special Weekend! Whether you’re …celebrating the resurrection of Jesus …recovering from Passover dinner …hunting for coloured eggs …doing colouring contests (they still have those, right?) …partying in honour of Hans Christian Andersen’s…
Baby Bits XIV
I fear I have created a monster. We’ve only been giving E Cheerios for a few weeks, but already he gets all antsy and whiny if he hasn’t had a hit in a while. You give him some and he just wants more. He now recognizes the Oscar the Grouch container we’ve been keeping them…
Ominous Waiting
It’s like having a tornado heading your way. It looks bad – it’s touching down and hitting other folks – doesn’t stay long but wreaks havoc – it could hit me any time and it wouldn’t be pretty! – or it might just blow over. Every person in my house but me (that’s only three,…
Kudos to you, single parents.
Baby is sick today. There’s been copious evidence coming out both his ends, starting at pre-dawn… sheets changed, baby’s clothes changed, mama’s clothes changed, plenty of other laundry, an extra bath… several short naps, some eating, some dozy awake time, some serious (but highly successful!) potty time, and even some periods where he seemed totally…
33 Years Old, and Nine Months Old – and one day.
Happy Birthday, beloved husband! Happy nine months and one day, best baby ever! Here are some terrible “poems” for you (and please remember, I love you way more than these cheesy rhymes can express): He has eyes like the sea after a storm, He is the expert in the field of Snuggles, He keeps my…
Best Family Day Brunch Ever
I hope all you Ontarians who get Family Day had a great one! We are one of those families who relishes a good collective feast. Here’s what we had, to feed fifteen (well, fourteen – one was eating carrot purée instead) lovely people at my sister’s apartment (it was potluck): Homemade by those in attendance……
Thank Goodness for the Wisdom that Comes with Age
Here’s what passes for adult conversation in the baby house: Sean (pretending to be offended by a good-natured jibe from Auntie Em during our first full game of Settlers since E’s birth): “Shut your pie-hole!” Em (with faux naïveté): “Ooh, there’s pie?” Sean (with the subtlest hint of dejection): “Yeah, but it’s in a hole.”
Top Tens by Dilovely and Son
Top Ten Things Dilovely is stoked about this week (in random order): E in overalls. I mean, seriously, can he get any cuter? Guelph’s Rainbow Chorus 15th anniversary concert last night. Pretty songs, solid harmonies, vibrant colours, happy (gay, lesbian, bi, trans, and friends) people, community spirit out the wazoo. Plus snacks. Did you know…
