We&#8217;ve been traipsing all over Calgary these past few weeks. Particularly enjoying full days at the AP playgroup, at Sikome Lake, and at Stanley Park. Waking each morning, and packing a lunch, no matter what the weather or plans. It was nice to stay in pajamas till noon, and build an outdoor living room on [...]]]></description>

The boys are all ready for a pre-bed, and after dinner bike ride, in their PJ&#8217;s. So awesome to ride around the neighborhood in the evening. Makes me wish I had a bike-garage though. Dragging that trailer up the front steps every day is getting tiresome.

I don&#8217;t really agree that handwriting is really critical for a four year old boy, but I do see the joy he gets when he concentrates on something he is proud of. I also love encouraging him to develop skills, concentration and control. [...]]]></description>

Good morning.
did you have a good sleep? Ours was about a 6 out of ten. Which means I actually slept&#8230;a bit. Remember that drawing I did way back when Marcel was little?
