Here are some examples of sentences and conversations I’ve collected from my son over the last couple of months. You’ll notice that some of them seem quite random, while some of them show just how much he’s paying attention to things… * Standing all wobbly on this bed, arms out for balance, grinning, still wearing…

Toddler Tracks: BEST SENTENCE EVER
There’s a big toddler update coming, since our kid is constantly saying and doing things that make us laugh and raise our eyebrows… but I simply had to come and post this tidbit before my spacey pregnant brain lets it go. A wee bit of background: over the past weekend, we finally found a bribe…
Toddler Tracks: Letters, Words, and Sentences
I didn’t know E could sing the alphabet song until he suddenly sang it for me the other day. Well, truth be told, it’s a pretty loose approximation, but (being his mom) I was still impressed. Apparently between Daddy singing it with him and the talking alphabet toy at day care, he’s picked up quite…
Toddler Tracks: Vocabularrific
This kid says so many things that make us laugh, on a daily basis, that we can’t possibly keep track of them all. Some are only funny because we’re his parents and we dig everything he does. (Like, for example, a few minutes ago he called out from his bed, where he’s been procrastinating about…
Toddler Tracks V – Quotables
I’ve realized I’m neglecting too many cool anecdotes because I don’t have time for long blog posts. Better to do short ones than none at all, right? Favourite toddler quotes this week: Any time he ends up on the floor, accidentally or on purpose: “I fell down.” Upon finding his (defunct) remote in the toy…
Toddler Tracks I
I apologize for not managing to post this until Tuesday… because… Sunday we had major step-taking!! We took E to great-step-grandma’s birthday party, lots of folks around to watch/catch him… he was on a roll. At one point he was walking to Daddy, who was skilfully backing up to maximize steps, and I counted fifteen!…
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…
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…
