New baby. Smells a bit like toast. Looks exactly like a newborn. Feels so soft. Sounds great. Taste is so far unassessed.

Loved this morning how A-bug tried to do the coin-behind-the-ear magic trick and was shocked when it did not work. Kids are awesome!

1 Canadian points for A Bug. Went "skating" for the first time today. No wipeouts big enough to preclude another outing sometime.

A moment of silence for the Bunnykins bowl. Served us well for 37 yrs but succumbed to a clumsy toddler sulking that she has to have a Dad.

The A-bug reaction of "Oh, shet!" to seeing Papa drop her water bottle means somebody somewhere needs to be careful about swearing near her.

Hier soir, A-bug (en français) wanted the (english) Xmas carol with "le pleut". Great puzzlement, but it was Rudolph the Red Nosed RAINdeer.

A-bug in backyard, instructed to call for us if she needs anything. 5 min later... "Mama! I need anything!"

Among other offerings, A-bug ate rabbit, duck and pork. It was like she was sampling the cast of characters of one of her storybooks.

Singing "Tu fait caca" to the tune of the Beatles song Good Day Sunshine to your poopy daughter in the morning is kind of fun.

To combat the "No Papa!" dismissals I get, I told A that I am starting a No Papa jar and she has to put in 25 cents each time.

"Ici, c'est a dog". That's what happens when you have one kid learning to speak while immersed in two languages.

It finally happened. Made it all the way home (carrying 29 lbs of toddler) before realizing that I didn't have my keys. Must be at my desk.
