I bought a new bed last week (an antique sleigh-style) and it's getting delivered tomorrow afternoon. I've only ever had a crappy metal frame, so I'm super-excited about this. Plus, I'm pretty sure having a headboard officially makes me a grown-up now. :)
On Wednesday I'm taking my baby with me to London, my hometown, for a few days. I have a few cousins who also stay home with their kids and I haven't seen them in a while, so I can't wait to visit with them and see how much their little ones have grown. My one cousin, Rachel, has a little boy and it would be so great if they became buddies, so I'm looking forward to watching them together. I don't know how interactive Owen's ready to be yet, but he certainly likes to look at his cousin Audrey. Two months ago, it didn't really register with him that she existed, but at her baptism two weeks ago, he stared at her with a new focus. It implied he understood that she was like him in a way that he hadn't seen in anyone else before. It was pretty special to see him recognize that similarity and be totally fascinated by her.
When I get back to Toronto on Saturday, Roncesvalles village is having a Spring Fever event. I hope to get back in time to make it down there. It's a glorified sidewalk sale, really, but they'll have music and face-painting for kids, bbq street vendors, and just plenty of things for Owen to see, so I think it will be a fun little family outing for us! I was given a free Toronto family event magazine at Mommy group last week, and it has all these listings of things to do all month. I hurried home and immediately started highlighting the best ones and put them in my calendar, and I'm just so excited to have all of these fabulous day trips to look forward to. There's the Green Toronto event at Yonge/Dundas square, the "Mom-preneur" sale at the Distillery District, a craft show/bake sale at the Eglinton Community Centre, the "Harbourkids" festival at Harbourfront, and the list goes on and on. I've actually managed to fill my weekends for the next 6 weeks! This is unheard of for me, to plan so far ahead, and I'm just so excited about having all these (baby-friendly!) things to do. I can't believe I'm only hearing about this magazine now.
And... I just found out that my husband is taking me to see Dirty Dancing: The Musical to celebrate Mother's Day. He couldn't get reasonable seats for the actual day, but it's close enough (end of the month) so I guess I'll let it slide! He has even arranged for a co-worker to babysit Owen, so we'll have the whole evening out to be a couple again - go out for dinner, walk hand-in-hand, and just get to focus on eachother for a few hours.
I'll have the time of my life...
hee, that's right, I said it!! And I owe it all to Luke!!!
Alright, so I think that'll do! Off to bed with me now... tomorrow's another day, with new ways of embarrassing myself waiting to be unearthed. ;)
