A weekend with our baby girl! A few feeding and sleep issues (too much feeding, no sleep) so Grandma FD to the rescue. Very onerous task, sitting in a comfy chair soothing baby so her poor parents can get some sleep and regain their sanity. Oh the sacrifices I make!

So a weekend in the city and it is pouring with rain- more flooding for sure. I expect I won’t make it home to The Village tomorrow if this rain doesn’t cease now. I packed a couple work outfits because I may be able to make it to school from the city side. It would be terrible if I was forced to spend more more time with Petit Fille, who is now exactly a week old! I know she will be asking to borrow my car next!

May I heartily recommend grand parenthood to all. Babies are so much better the second time around, as you have already learnt all the tricks and what matters and what doesn’t. I may do this grandparent thing again, oh that’s right it is not up to me!

Well, a good reason to live in the moment then!

a family story…

Our first grandchild is due next week. She already has quite a sizeable library as friends were asked to gift books at her baby shower, but I may have added one more this week…

Flora

In this innovative wordless picture book with interactive flaps, Flora and her graceful flamingo friend explore the trials and joys of friendship through an elaborate synchronized dance. With a twist, a turn, and even a flop, these unlikely friends learn at last how to dance together in perfect harmony. Full of humour and heart, this stunning performance (and splashy ending!) will have readers clapping for more!

The reason I chose the name Flamingo Dancer is because of the synchronised mating dance that the Flamingos perform; all moving together,  yet each in their own moment. Harmony with the community, individualism still valued.

Of course I would be the leader of the flock!
