My new monthly segments, which I hope to be able to share on a regular basis…Since my days are quite jam-packed with fun-filled activities, I sometimes find it hard to stay regular with my posts…
Spring is in the air – finally the sun’s come out and we’re getting ready to shed those wintery layers….aah!
Although I love playing in the snow, it will be great to not have to put on the snow pants, scarf, hat, coat and mittens every day. Mom & dad will particularly appreciate it when they come pick me up at the daycare, since it won’t take 30 mins to leave every night…What they didn’t realize is that I am actually able to get dressed myself, rather than them having to force the clothes onto me…but sometimes I just like to see them sweat it out a bit.
Gotta move!
Second week swimming with the older kids at Regent Lacoursière’s swimming school in Anjou (http://www.regentlacoursiere.com). No parents allowed!! So we get to splish & Splash while learning new swimming skills without the critical eyes of mom & dad…I won’t tell you the special “technique” that Regent uses…you’ll just have to come check it out for yourself….
Another big milestone this week – skating on my own! Soon it will be time to say ‘bye-bye’ to skating support bars – Yeah! Next step….Triple Axel, ok maybe not so soon!
Bye bye skating support bars
Yummy for the tummy!
For those who are in the Plateau area, you gotta check out Boulangerie Guillaume at 17, ave Fairmont Est (http://boulangerieguillaume.com). Best little Brioches ever! Mom also loves their different variety of breads – her fave is the Quinoa bread!

Looking Fab!
Paris Fashion Week just wrapped up with the Fall/Winter 2013 collections. I’m not quite into all the fashion trends yet, but I know what I love and those are my comfy-ruffly tops that allow me to dance and twirl away. For me they are the perfect dress that allow me to bounce and spin and groove to the beat, all while covering up my well-rounded belly 🙂

My bad!
Growing and getting taller is always great and being able to reach things over the counter top is definitely exciting…However, beware when you reach for things blindly with the tips of your fingers.
The bag of milk that was spilled all over the kitchen floor was a result of my zealous attempt to pour my own glass of milk. I stretched onto my tippy-toes and reached for the freshly filled milk pitcher….But can I truly be blamed for someone leaving the FULL pitcher so far back on the counter top??
Talking About!
“C’est pas grave” – a very practical French saying that translates to: “It doesn’t matter!”. Can be used in many, many, many circumstances – for example, when you spill a full pitcher of milk 🙂
I’m sure you can think of many other occasions to use it!
My fave!
This week was ‘spring break’ for most schools in Montreal. I actually had my week off the week before and I must admit the first few days with mom and dad were BO-RING! But then we headed to Quebec City and I had the time of my life at ‘Les Galeries La Capitale’ (http://www.galeriesdelacapitale.com/en/families.php)
I know a shopping mall doesn’t sound all that exciting, but this place has a skating rink (check schedules ahead of time cuz it was closed the day we went), and they have an amusement park with fun rides for all ages…I was too short for a few them, but still loved the Mushroom/Turtle and the Hot-Air balloons!
