Posted on April 9, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

This weekend marked a momentous occasion–the potty chair was removed from the bathroom. Yep, that’s right. We are officially done with the toilet training and the three-year-old is now big enough and competent enough to use a toilet just like … Continue reading →

Tentatively X-Rated

Posted on April 8, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

Why do you visit me here? Is it to find out what cute things my kids are saying? Do you expect to get some pithy observations that probably have already been made by other people in more observant and humourous … Continue reading →

Posted on April 3, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

I took my two oldest children to Granville Island last week. I had to get ready for the trade show and I figured they could hang out while I gathered what I needed. Our first stop was of course Laurelle’s Deli … Continue reading →

All by myself

Posted on March 26, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

I got stuck getting into my sports bra yesterday. There I was stranded, half way in, half way out, arms flailing uselessly like some as-yet-undiscovered anemone. And of course, it is at this inopportune moment when in walks the 3-year-old. He pauses … Continue reading →

In which technology proves my point, as if I needed more proof

Posted on March 25, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

Self-esteem? Check!

Posted on March 19, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

Oh, my boys. <Shakes her head> The three-year-old as, I said before, is now doing really well both at home and in his new daycare. He is getting particularly good at recognizing letters.  I was watching him “read” his truck book with … Continue reading →

Kissing–the Gold Standard

Posted on February 19, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

So, I’m watching Celebrity Apprentice last week. Yes, I watch Celebrity Apprentice. Deal with it. It can’t  all be Robertson Davies and Masterpiece Theatre around the house. My three-year-old wanders casually out of his room (as if I hadn’t put him to … Continue reading →

Thank God January is done. I am lucky enough to work on Granville Island and have done so for (this is hard to believe) 7 years now. I love Granville Island. It is one of my favourite places in the … Continue reading →
