Like everyone else, I’m ready for winter to end. Simon has had a rough few months and I can’t wait for some warm weather and an uneventful spring. Simon has had two broken bones in as many months in two separate falls. He took a tumble down our basement stairs in late […]
Better late than never, as usual. This year we started the season with a visit to Christmas Town at Mountsberg Conservation Area. It was a fantastic outing including a horse-drawn sleigh ride, cookie decorating (and eating), a visit to the elves workshop, and of course a visit with Santa. It’s out in […]
On December 7, Christopher and I took Simon for his first haircut at a Milton institution - Mike’s barber shop. Unfortunately Mike wasn’t working that afternoon, but one of the other hairdressers took good care of him. Simon was not impressed with the whole experience, and he especially didn’t like the scissors near […]
A few days before Simon’s birthday party I was surprised when all of a sudden I burst into tears in the shower. I had a little boohoo and then thought, “What the hell was that?!” After a little reflection, I realized that the prospect of Simon turning one was a bit of an […]
Happy birthday to our wonderful baby boy! We love you more than you’ll ever know.

I’ll be doing another post this week reflecting on Simon’s first year and my feelings as he turns the big zero one, but before that I’d like to do one more post about some recent milestones and activities.
Last weekend Simon spent lots of time on various farms, first with his dad at Emmerdale Farm on […]
Two weekends ago Simon and I (Christopher) had the house to ourselves while Leila was away for her first weekend at teachers college. Of course we missed her, but we had a great time together full of fun activities.
As his dad, it is my responsibility to help Simon develop his taste for speed and adventure. […]
First things first - Happy Birthday Nana! Hope you’re enjoying your holiday.
Please excuse the almost three week gap in posts. It’s been very busy around here while I do endless paperwork to get ready for teacher’s college and we spend time enjoying summer before it slips by. I know it’s a totally […]
Well, it’s happened. I’m still in disbelief - it’s like some wonderful dream. Simon is sleeping through the night. More specifically, he goes to bed at 7:00pm and usually wakes up at 6:00 or 6:30am. There have even been a few times where he has slept until 7:00am. To finally […]
Now that Simon can motor around he often tries to grab the kitties as they pass by. They’re a little wary of him so they usually give him a wide berth, but as you’ll see, sometimes Milo’s laziness is more powerful than his instinct to get out of the way.
