New Sibling Blues

We seem to be going through a phase 2 of new sibling rivalry. Baby E smiles at strangers with her 3 teeth and gets a reaction - and C is finding this hard. Baby E is sitting and moving around a bit more too - and this is also hard for C. We are working on it.

Overheard

C sees E this morning and is overheard saying, "You look much more bigger E, I think you are growing in your sleep."

"Gay" is not Worthless, Stupid, or Dumb

Inspired somewhat by this post:

I organised a rally (with 2 other friends) this past weekend against homophobic bullying, to support LGBTQ youth, and to honour those who felt suicide was their only option.







In the midst of it all, Baby E became a 7 month old with her very first tooth.

Getting Her Ready for the Snow

Me: We need to get you some snow pants.
C: And some snow dresses and snow skirts.

I can do it.

I am enjoying C's helpfulness and independence. These traits are certainly the nice part about having a 3 year old around. She likes doing jobs and favours. She's been finding jobs to do all on her own too - which is sweet.
