Wow, talk about a parenting fail. Earlier this month Oscar’s first tooth came through. He got the second one, just days later. And I precisely remember noting to myself as I cuddled him when he was having a hard time with it, “I’ll never forget what teething cries sound like.” Well, I forgot. For the past two [...]

Two words.
I’m from the east coast of Canada. We’re a pretty animated bunch. We have all these sayings that people from away just don’t understand… and proceed to look at us like we’re nuts. Example? Some. We use that word as an adjective for EVERYTHING. “Oh, supper was some good tonight”. “He’s some funny.” “She’s some cute”. [...]
Overheard
Wife: I’m SO not looking forward to the day we walk in his room and find him and his crib and his walls covered in poop. Husband: Must be a gweilo thing. Chinese babies don’t do that. Fast forward 3 months and who do you think is helping me scrub down Oscar’s room? Gweilo only hey?
Zzzzzzzz…
My frustration with O eating solid food is SO yesterday. Now we’re on to something totally new. He’s waking during the night. Oscar has slept through the night since he was nine weeks old. We had a few weeks of wake ups in the beginning as he was learning to fall back to sleep by [...]
Grrrrrr.
In the short 6.5 months since Oscar has been here, I’ve only been frustrated once. And that was in the early months when I didn’t understand his cries. Not that I understand them all now, but I digress. Fast forward to introducing solids. Grrrrrr. I’m having a hard time with the fact that he only eats [...]
BPA follow up
A great resource for BPA-free plastics for baby. I noticed Baby Cubes are on the list. Just a heads up? They’re fantastic! They hold 2oz of purée (that’s all I’ve used them for so far), freeze well, thaw well, wash well, and carry well! I’m a huge fan! Thanks Alison, for sending the link to the [...]
Oh My God, Oscar doesn’t like pears!
So what, right? Try something else, right? It’s WEEK TWO OF SOLID FOODS… get over it already! But I panicked. When he crumpled up his face and turned away and fought me as I went in with the 2nd spoonful, I panicked. Oh My God, my child is going to starve. He won’t eat. He [...]
BPA you say?
Now that Canada has taken a stand to ban the sale/importation of children’s products containing BPA’s, we can all breathe a sigh of relief. Or can we? Do we ever really relax? And when I say, “we”, I mean “me”. I’m a freak. I’m a worry wart. I worry about things that don’t even exist yet. [...]
Uh, can I see the menu please?
Today was the first day for Oscar to eat “big boy” food. He was SO excited to try. I had the bowl in front of him and was moving the spoonful of rice cereal towards him. He was SO excited! He reached out for the spoon and was practically shaking with anticipation. I don’t think [...]
