my little starfish

onto more pleasant topics :-)

gabe had his 2nd swim lesson yesterday and i'm so pleased it went better than his 1st lesson. while he shivered in the shallow end during the wheels on the bus, once we got into deeper water he sort of chillaxed and went with the flow. we even attempted to blow bubbles, but i think gabe just got a mouthful of water instead. at least this time he didn't choke himself and cry for the rest of the class :-) at the end of class he jumped off the "pirate ship" and i managed to dunk him twice and was so proud of him for not crying and freaking out!


and i'm thrilled that my parents are back from japan! i`ve got my matcha tea and whisk, and my nori will arrive in a month! yum yum :-) and i've already lined up my parents for babysitting 3 times over the next 3 weeks, and now i can finally get curtains hung for gabe's bedroom. while the morning sun has been waking him up earlier than in the winter, the bigger problem is at bedtime...he knows it`s still light out and won`t always go to sleep until it`s completely dark, even though he`s completely knackered.

i think it`s safe to say that the 3 of us are finally over our flu and we can finally really enjoy this beautiful vancouver weather!
