    Weekend excitement – 29 weeks! 

    Last weekend, my step-sister Val brought me a vibrating bouncy chair for the babe. Freddie and Bounce have been enjoying it ever since:

    This weekend, we enjoyed watching some chickadees moving into their new home.

    Also, the new neighbours moved in across the street and we brought them some cupcakes and banana bread. Bounce followed us over there, and there was a boxer there who, as soon as they opened the door, took off after her and chased her back home. She was ok. After our visit, Bounce was there to greet us. It makes us nervous when she crosses the street, so I picked her up and was going to take her back across the street with us, but she got irritated and scratched me to get down. I didn’t notice until we got home that I got a bit of a nasty scratch on my big round belly :( Anyway, 29weeks now! Pics posted, and now you know why there’s a couple of little bandaids there. No, my bellybutton didn’t pop ;)

    Grover! 

    When I was young, I had a grover, that I took everywhere, including into the operating room when I had tubes put in my ears:

    And now our son will have his own grover (and a cat named Bounce haha):

      I used to have tubes in my ears as well. Is it just me or don’t you hear of that anymore (pardon the pun).
      When my sister and I were younger we had bert and ernie dolls made of cloth. We also had stuffed cookie monster and oscar that had strings in the back that you pulled and they talked. Ahhh..the good old days.

      I haven’t heard of it much either. That is a good question for Lori Ann at our next book club meeting :) My brother had problems with his ears when he was young (14 years younger than me) and I don’t think they put tubes in his ears.

      Mine were the kind that fell out eventually. I saved one, but I’m not sure whatever happened to it. (gross!)

      I was about 5 or so when I had mine put in. I had them in both ears and then one fell out so I had it put back in. Then the other one fell out so I had that put back in. Eventually they both fell out. I did see one, one time though. Looked like a very tiny green bead like for a necklace but smaller. After our generation I don’t remember any kids having them. I know I did get a lot of earaches when I was a kid. Headaches for that matter too. Any time I cried I got a pounding one and remember going to the doctor when I was about 5 for that too. He told me not to cry :P

    Practice making toys 

    Tamara made her very first set of sock animals – a monkey and a hippo – which are now on there way to our friends near Montreal who have been having a rough time.
