I’ve been reading this book by Leonard Sax the past couple of weeks (I read slowly). It’s basically a Freakonomics applied to teenage girls; packed with research, numbers, testimonies, related to today’s teenage girls’ world, their obsessions, their virtual world through facebook and texting, their sexualization, etc. For the author, the pressure to treat girls [...]

Eve is more and more into books. We have even extended our library to regular toddler books. She can now focus for more than 3 pages and not tear them with one single touch. Of course her favorites are books that have a “bébé” or a “woofwoof” in them. We’ve been reading this one to [...]

Erik loves a challenge. Including reading a book to Eve in a creative position in which he can’t see the pictures or the text, which is in French on top of it. He actually made up a story that was even better than the real one, with rhymes and everything. Erik est toujours prêt pour [...]

…Those are our baby food staples. I make most of Eve’s food. Jarred food just doesn’t taste as good (even the organic Earth’s Best jars…). The downside of that is that if I don’t have time, or get a little lazy, her diet gets simplified quite a bit. She does enjoy sweet potato and squash [...]
To Sleep or not to sleep

I am alone with Eve this week. My family left last Sunday. Erik arrives tomorrow night to do the move and we’re all flying on Sunday. It has been a little hard. Especially since Eve seems to have gotten used to sleeping with me – big mistake on my part – and is therefore having [...]
