Stop the Presses! Guess Who Took Her First Steps with Daddy there!!!!

I had the wonderful experience of having lil'A taking her first steps on May Day but Daddy was closing a door. So, for Daddy it didn't count, although he totally believed it.

Last night, just before bed, lil'A was extremely tired but we thought we would try to show daddy. In order to get her parents off her back, she took 3 steps so Daddy would be ecstatic before bed.

He was so not disappointed.

She's not at the stage of forgetting she's not hanging on and just walking but that day is just around the corner. Uh Oh.... Next thing REAL WALKING. Break out the safety equipment.

Latest Status on Mom (aka lil'A's Gramma)

Talked to Mom today and it turns out that the Occupational Therapist and Physiotherapist both agree that Mom needs a little more time to recuperate before coming home.

For those that know my Mom, this is NOT what she wants. She wants to go home. She's been away from her home for 3 weeks or so. She was in Calgary just before going to VGH.

The plan is that she will be moved to Holy Family Hospital (Argyle/62nd St), just two blocks east of Knight Street.

It is not yet known when she will be transferred. Not today is for sure. Possibly tomorrow. Will let you know when she is moved.

In any event, she does have her cell phone and would love to talk to friends and family. Her cell is 778.896.0193.

Something New - Please Spread the Word

I've started a cottage business to just help out a little around the house. Well sort of... I've joined a Canadian Online Company.

Since I'm not working at SAP/Business Objects/Crystal anymore, I felt the need to help out with the family income, even if it's just a small way. Plus, it makes me feel a little more sane with a toddler going zoom zoom and yak yak round the clock.

So, I decided to work with people like myself, moms.... labeling kids stuff so it doesn't get lost, and don't all moms want that?!?!?!?!

The company is called Lovable Labels.

At this time of year, parents are getting kids signed up for various camps and activities over the summer. Perhaps this would interest you in particular - a camping label package.

Please take a look at it and all of the other possibilities on the site; be imaginative as well.

These labels are not limited to kids stuff. Slimline labels could be used to advertise, make "made by Gramma" labels, spelling kids names correctly if they have unique spellings - I kinda know about that. :)

Check out my site (link about on the pic) and let me know what you think.

If you have questions about how they might be useful to you and/or your friends/family.

My email addy for this is kat@lovablelabels.ca
