The other day, someone at work asked me, “What’s it like to be a father?” and that got me thinking. He's about 6 months away from joining the club so I think he was looking for a little sage-like advice. To be honest, I think he was happy to find out I lost my hair many years before having kids. We … [Read more...]
Summer Money
Aside from the kids heading back to school, September is kind of a crap month. That first month back to school is dedicated to filling out forms and writing cheques. I feel like it's September again. $175 each for outdoor soccer $100 for recital tickets for Eva's dance $250 for two weeks of … [Read more...]
Morning Has Broken
Monday to Friday, from 6:00am to 7:00am is the most hellish five hours of my week. I'm a morning person. I don't really have issues getting up. Alarm goes off, I snooze a couple times, I stretch and then I'm up. Will is a morning person as well - on the weekend. But Monday to Friday? It's … [Read more...]
My Cowgirl
My kids are generally under-scheduled. When I only had one kid old enough for activities, it was fun to put her in things like ballet, but now that there are three of them, the expense and time commitment can be overwhelming, so we've really taken a step back from sports and hobbies and activities. … [Read more...]
Prepping for the Summer Break
Summer is almost here. Yay!! The artwork and school projects are coming home from the classrooms in a steady stream. And the countdown is on. I know it's a time for camps and sleeping in. A time for late nights and endless splashing around in the sprinklers but I'm still incorporating some (just … [Read more...]
Biker Chick
Oh, this girl. So determined, so easily frustrated, so fierce. She just taught herself to ride a two-wheeler bike and there's no stopping her now. … [Read more...]
the simple things
The funny and weird thing about being a parent is the absolute pleasure you get from doing just a simple thing with your kid. Yesterday after an extremely stressful and worrisome week L'il E and I just sat in our kitchen eating apples and chatting (toddler speaking) about our day. At that moment I … [Read more...]
Had me a blast
While winter in Toronto seems agonizingly long, every time I blink I find the spring months passing by and the summer quickly approaching. Summer planning for our boys is trying to find the balance between organized activities, the peppering of do nothing weeks, where they can ride bikes, catch bugs … [Read more...]
Parents, Kids and the Bond of Hockey
First off I'd like to say thank you for all the lovely comments I heard from everyone about my Mother's Day blog. Thank you so much. Sports are a funny thing in my house. Unfortunately for me, there isn't a lot of it being watched on TV. My wife really isn't into watching sports, and my 2 year … [Read more...]
Wiggled Out
I wrote this post almost 2 years ago about me taking Cuyler to see The Wiggles. I was thrilled that I was able to take him and and that he enjoyed as much as he did. It was a great day. The thing with Cuyler (and many kids on the spectrum) is that he can get "stuck" on things. First it was The … [Read more...]
