This week I’m grateful for:
Daylight Savings Time! Lighter nights mean playing ball until dusk and drinks on the back deck.
The Olympic Village zone, which is full of public artwork, boardwalks and one of the best natural playgrounds in the city – all made even better by a blast of spring sunshine.
Parcour.
An impromptu email correspondence with a birthmother in New York City that’s given me new insights into myself, adoption, and, of course, what to see on and off-Broadway.
Snowdrops, crocuses and tulips – sure signs of spring.
A chance to really meet Free-range mom Lenore Skenazy and hang out at the CBC Studios.
Me and Lenore at the CBC studios.
Ignore that creepy little photo in the middle!
A seasoned marathon runner who believed I could indeed run 20 km. And guess what? I can! Looks like I will be running the BMO 1/2 marathon in May after all.
Chill-time with my little boy.
Soaking it up.
Annual RESP contributions for Theo courtesy of my mom.
Little bare feet in the park.
What are they talking about?
New books from nice people. A Twitter friend and her son gave Theo a pile of great books including his new fave: “How do Dinosaurs say Good Night.”
What are you grateful for this week?
We love the how do dinosaur books. We love say goodnight and say I love you. And I’m grateful for giggles, diggers and play dough.
what a nice list! i am also very grateful for the arrival of spring and an extra hour of light. it was so warm today i wore flip-flops and a tank top, and when i was grocery shopping i got spring-themed candles: cherry blossom, wild honeysuckle, and coastal woods. (obviously i’m easily entertained.) the combination made my apartment smell amazing.
I love all your gratitude! And adorable pictures, btw. I too am feeling the joys of spring today. Bring on the sunshine!
Our upcoming spring break.
In laws that will come at the drop of a hat to take care of sick kids so I can go to work.
Yay!
Love your list – it was a nice break wasn’t it? Theo is so mighty in that spiderman costume. If my son had one, he’d probably sleep in it.
