No Baby Should Be Eaten …

Oct

Written by Chelle on Wednesday

The Kids Part of the reason I decided to celebrate heading home with a few contests and giveaways was because the blogosphere has shone so kindly on me. Not only do I receive the most amazing comments, emails and support, but I win stuff too!!

If you are not reading The Opinionated Parent yet, you must add it to your must read today! I have been fortunate to win a few items and even have had the opportunity to write some reviews for the site. The companies that TOP works with are amazing.

I recently won a T from Tiny Revolution (Through The Opinionated Parent). In the email I mention that we are moving in 6 weeks so if it could make it here that would rock. This was Friday night. DUDES the T showed up MONDAY. Now that is some rockin’ customer service. I also received a personalized note wishing me the best.

Ethan sported his new … “No Baby Should Be Eaten … Say No to Veal!” to the library yesterday and it was a huge hit. The T is so soft and cuddly it was hard to put the kid down (although I struggle with that everyday, he just so CUTE). Many Thanks to TOP & Tiny Revolution!

We lost the apartment we were considering. grr. So we have submitted an application to another with another property management company. Once our application is approved, we will be sending the security deposit and can claim it as home. The new place is cheaper (w00t) but a tad further away from the university. Ultimately we will be saving like mad to purchase a house next year.

The kids and I are trekking it to Ethan’s six month appointment this morning. Note to Canadians, we had to WAIT three weeks for an opening, private health care … pfft! Poor little guy his second tooth finally broke through and now we are shooting him up with vaccinations. At least closer to our travel date he should be free and clear.

Becca has been amazing lately. I mentioned before that she has been really well behaved. She is excelling at everything she tries, recognizing letters and numbers, climbing, jumping, running. She sings songs, makes up lyrics, is good to her brother and really has been listening well. I really hope this next move does not knock the wind out of her sails too much. All transitions are hard. On all of us.

It sounds like you need a new pediatrician. We never have to wait for appointments and can get in the same day if we need to.

Becca looks so grown up in that picture, her hat is adorable. Ethan as usual looks darling!

Your kids are getting so big!

Yeah, I am having problems with my insurance. It’s times like these, I wish I was Canadian!

Every time I come back here you seem to have a different format - or are my eyes playing tricks on me!
Cheers

Don’t bother with the new pediatrician. You know, as you’re moving and all ;-).

That is such a great picture and a really cute hat. I kept meaning to mention that.

Good luck with the apartment. Can’t wait to see pics of the first house.

sorry you lost the other apartment. Hope this one pans out better.
I love the saying on that tee!!!

Ah, for Canadian health care…my sis (in NB) had a severe sore throat on the weekend, went to Emerg and 2 hours later was home! No preapproval needed, no worries about lack of coverage or being turned away…

Best wishes on the apartment!

I also trekked today to get Theo his 15mth shots. Wasn’t so bad, they had Olivia blowing bubbles in a corner, so he was a little distracted.
Bummer about the apartment, but also good that the other one will be cheaper so you can kick into your house savings!!

You get to go back to the land of universal health care. I’m so jealous!!!

He looks great in that tee, and I’m so glad you got it quickly. I’ll send BreeAnne your post and she’ll be thrilled.

Good luck with the shots!

I tell Fa…”I’m gonna eat your head” all the time…

We fall into fits of giggles…Of course all the “eating” is just tons and tons of smooches….

Good luck…I’m sending happy moving vibes your way.
