We’re off to Grand Prairie today for our LONG drive with our baby in tow. Hopefully she will sleep for most of the way. It’s still warm and now it’s raining in Yellowknife this morning. Tim is working for half the day and Edzèa and I are going to Rhymes and Song time at the Centre for Northern Families.
Yesterday, at our Mom’s Group. I broke my cardinal rule because curiosity got the better of me. I had decided *not* to put Edzèa in to a Jolly Jumper as I’d been told/read bad things about them. Mainly, they are not good for the anatomical development of baby’s spine…but, there it was, staring at me at the Mom’s group. So, in to the Jolly Jumper she went. She just lolled about for a few minutes like a sack of potatoes and then when she figured it out-watch out! If there were a Jolly Jumper Olympics for infants, my daughter, bien sur, would win the gold! She LOVED the Jolly Jumper. She had a good solid 20 minutes of jumping fun and then I took her out. She got her one taste of candy and that’s it. I’m still not getting her one but it was hilarious to watch and for 20 minutes, she forgot to keep track of Mummy for a change!
We also tried her with peas and sweet potato yesterday. Not a hit. It could be because I chose the WRONG day to try. Her tooth has been bothering her and she just isn’t herself right now. Mummy got pulled out of Yoga yesterday as my little teether was not happy. I went from Downward Dog to Upward Running Mummy.
She likes apples though. She was sucking on my apple last night and got VERY angry when Daddy took her away for her bath.
Well, that’s all for now. Gotta run…get Tim to work, pack our stuff, go for song time and then off on our BIG road trip!!!
Oh and btw, the furnace guy just arrived for the umpteenth time. We’ve had countless problems with our furnace since we bought this house. We’ve replaced the boiler and had that break down numerous times and now the heat in our suite for our new tenants is awol. I’m telling you, it’s not fun to have your furnace break down at -40 C!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
