Enjoying the View

Here we are, in the heart of the city, 31 floors up. (While our car is parked 5 floors down. Yes, that's 5 floors below the earth.)

We are slowly starting to explore our new neighbourhood and discovering that everything is right at our doorstep. Our car just might start collecting dust!

Moving Day

As Moving Day Approaches

Packing boxes to move is hard. Packing boxes to move while a toddler is running around is just stupid. I pack a box, she unpacks it. I get out a new box, she climbs into it. I sort through the crystal vases, she picks one up and breaks it. I label the box, she rips off the labels (because, hey! free sticker!)

Two days left in our apartment. The little one bedroom apartment that we've lived in for the past 8 years. We were newly weds when we moved in, Kyle was still in acting school and I was a youth worker in Surrey. We dreamt of our future together, wondering what would come. I look back through the memories and am happy to have been here in this place at this time. And now we move on. New memories to be made.

Feet

Esmé was "helping" me bake when she dumped the baking powder all over the ground as well as the chair she was standing on. I had a moment of frustration and began to clean it up when I noticed the tiny feet. Amazing how quickly the frustration can melt away.

Hard at Work

Nunnery Application In Progress

Esmé likes to pretend to read and pretend to say letters when she sees them on signs or in books. She says letters in random order but when I ask her, she can tell me what some letters are, like A, B, and M. (We were working on C but she has trouble saying the "s" sound and M stands for moon which gets her really excited, so A, B, M it is.)

Today she was looking at the computer keys and among her babbling started saying the letters, "B... O... Y." Then she repeated it over and over, "B...O...Y, B...O...Y."

Noooo! This is too soon! I can't take it!

N..O, N..O, N..O!
