Easter started out great but, ended in a less then stellar fashion. On Saturday we enjoyed the company of Mariella and Anissa and their parents for brunch. The girls played really well together, well basically Mariella and Anissa let Clara talk their ears off!


On Sunday Patricia chauffeured us to Bromont where we enjoyed a delicious Easter feast but all day poor Clara was in quite a bit of discomfort. She showed signs of a UTI without a fever. She was pathetic in a funny way... poor girl had to pee but it hurt so every time she felt the urge she'd start dancing around chanting "pee pee, pee pee" in a musical kind of way. When we got home in the evening it was obvious she needed medication so Papa took our brave girl to the emergency room at midnight. Marc tells me Clara was the perfect patient. She even managed to give a urine sample (with the help of a juice box). The got home at 3:30 am and with just her first dose of medication she was markedly better in the morning.

Today you wouldn't know Clara had been sick at all - the wonders of modern medicine. Antibiotics really do have their place when used responsibly!

The games that we play

Today I was privileged to be present for the inception of a new game in our home, much like “petit bebe”, “yes – no” and “stinky feet” “GodzilLeo” is destined to become a Gagnon favorite. The premise of GodzilLeo is simple, Papa gives Leo various superheros such as Mr Incredible and Spiderman and Leo chews on them spreading his toxic drool as Papa so lovingly calls it. While this is going on Clara frantically searches for other toys to save the superheros. Zebra seemed to be the toy most up to the task today. The game went on until GodzilLeo got too cold as a result of too much toxic drool on his bare belly.

Aren't they cute??

Testing 1, 2, 3...

OK, here it is - my first attempt at blogging. This is all about testing so bare with me while I figure things out.

Face Painting

Clara and Chloe loved painting their own faces at the Carrefour des Petites Soleils. Now Clara wants to decorate her face all the time!

We recently saw a guy on the street with tatoos on his face, Clara was quick to point and exclaim "look mommy, he's got his face painted, I want it too!" Hmmm, not quite the same thing.

Leo is enamoured with his big sis. When she leaves the room he often starts whimpering! I'm not kidding. I've tested it out - I call Clara to come back and he stops immediatly. Cracks me up every time

Only problem we're having is Leo's continued intolerance to dairy. Poor guy is paying right now for my indulgence Sat night. I took DH out to a nice restaurant for his 30th bday and I had cream sauce AND mousse for dessert... now I feel like a very guilty mommy and won't be doing that again for awhile.

Leo is 3 months old
