Cute moments in bedtime...

Getting ready for nummies tonight, a tired GZ was climbing into my bed when I said (as usual), "uh-oh... where's my book?" The only way I ever agreed to breastfeed anybody was if I could read the whole time. That's the deal. I confess: it hasn't been the nummies so much, these last nearly-6.5 years I've been nursing (not all the same kid!), as the excuse to curl up with a book for at least 10-15 minutes a couple of times a day.

Anyway, so there I was, no book. After I announced that, GZ slipped out of the room while I searched for my book. I figured he was just running away - as usual - until he came back a couple of minutes later with a copy of The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd, which I picked up free somewhere (and which I'm not sure I'll even read, because I didn't love her bees one).

As he waved the book proudly, he announced, "here you go - a grown-up book!" And indeed, it was. By that time, I had found the actual book I wanted to be reading, but I thanked him terrifically and gazed at it with what I hope was the proper admiration for his resourcefulness.

Perhaps the kid deserves to be Prime Minister after all...

It's Heart Month: 3 days left to save lives!

Dear Friends & Family: Hi, everybody! Sorry I can’t stop by in person... you're a bit out of my area.  :-) We’re out walking up and down on our street on this beautiful afternoon to raise money for Heart & Stroke.  This cause is important to me (I won't say it's close to my heart , because that would be tacky!).  I hope you'll join me by donating online. Growing up, I watched as every single one of my grandparents' lives were shortened by heart disease and strokes, and my father had a defibrillator that saved his life on more than one occasion.  Heart disease and stroke kill 1 in 3 Canadians and are the #1 killer of women. Please click this link to be redirected to my main page at the Heart & Stroke website: http://tinyurl.com/AtlasHeart Thus ends my personal appeal.  Official information follows.  :-))) ----- Heart disease and stroke is the #1 killer of women - taking more women's lives than all forms of cancer combined. But no one is immune. Th
