Ah Ha! Spring has sprung here...Welcome to the coast my friends!



It is a very exciting time for me, I must say. Why you ask? Well let me explain. Spring means beautiful weather, and beautiful weather means bringing out the NEW CLOTHES! That's right, exciting for me...not so exciting for my children (by children I mostly mean Tasia). You see, Tasia is old enough to understand that when mommy starts bringing out the bins it's generally a good idea to run, and more importantly, to run FAST. A feeble attempt for her unfortunately since I am faster and more determined! After about 5 outfits I have to ask myself, now why can't her winter clothes be this cute (a useless question really, considering the fact that I ask myself a fairly similar question when the winter clothes come out). I know, I know, I have a terrible problem. However, I blame it completely on the stores that make those clothes so darn cute, what else am I do? They don't have gymboree-a-holics anonymous...do they?

Introducing a slightly balder Lexi. Drum roll please...


As per usual, in our family, Lexi's hair began to fall out quicker than we could pull it, and she developed a slightly unfortunate hairstyle, often referred to as the cul de sac! Yes that is right, close yours eyes and imagine it...stylish! So out came the shaver and off came the hair...believe me, Daddy was very impressed to say the least...but rest assured, I would do the same to him if he were in that position (yeah that's right, he best watch his back if and when that time comes.!)

The New Adventures of Travelling with a Potty Seat!

Well we did it! My child is a brainiac if I do say so myself. Potty trained, go ahead say it with me, POTTY TRAINED! I can't tell you how relieved I am, lucky me, she was a pretty quick study. I must say though, we had a pretty rough start, I thought she would never make friends with the potty...now she is the potty queen, in fact she is so proud of herself that each trip to the potty is a monumental occasion (and why wouldn't she think so when after every sitting on the potty is followed by a 'pee pee dance' accompanied by a 'pee pee song', and yes, it is a clever 'pee pee song'). However, not only is her time on the potty something amazing, but so is anyone else's time on the potty...I haven't heard so many 'yeah mommy's' or 'yeah grandma's' ever! Applauded for using the washroom...
WOW, aren't kids great?
