Hello all,

A quiet day at home today. Morgane and I have been out a lot this week, so today we are taking it easy. She is sleeping a lot although I don’t know if it’s because she needs it or because she’s bored. Lately she has started to make real sounds like ba ba ba. She also rolled over last week and kept doing it for 24 hours and then promptly forgot how. We’ve started looking at library books lately and her favourite part of every book is the little sticker that says ‘bibliotheque – ville de montreal.’ She really likes feeling different textures of things and today she showed signs of wanting to bang her toys. Yesterday we swam again and she wore her brand new (thanks to Amelie) bathing suit! She is too cute in it.

Parenting involves so many questions that I never seem to know the right answers to. Should I wake her up or let her sleep. Will it mean that she won’t go to bed tonight at her new improved bedtime of 7:30? I am just getting used to the routine of giving her breakfast and dinner. It means a lot of time each day spent feeding and nursing her.

It’s raining and I’m glad because the snow is disappearing and spring is coming, so the faster the better. Wash away all the dirt and slush.

Ghislain is beginning two very busy months. He will be going to Chicoutimi twice and us girls haven’t decided yet if we’re going too. I’ve been making lots of new friends in the area at some local drop-in’s for mothers that I go to. The book, Blueprints, that I’ve been working on for the last year was published on Tuesday. I wonder when I’ll get to see a copy? I still have some work to do on the teacher’s manual and a workshop to present in June. If I’ve learned anything about books, it’s that a whole lot of work goes into them and that work is never done.

Looking forward to seeing some of you at the cabane a sucre on Sunday. The rest of you, think of me – I’ll be licking up the maple syrup!

Love,

Heather and Morgane
