Ready For The Big Game

Pace needs to work on his game face but he's young – it'll come.  (And no, that's not spilled beer on my leg.  And yes, it's baby drool.) On a related note, we went to see Brent Butt at Casino Regina for my staff Christmas party Friday night.  I have a completely unprovable theory that […]

Five Controversial Things We Do In Raising Our Baby

Pace has a new cousin!  Almost six months to the day after he was born, Pace's cousin, Dennon Robert Thompson arrived in very similar circumstances – breech position requiring an unplanned c-section.  It was a weird sense of deja vu for me all day – finding my way to the labour and delivery unit, sitting […]

Make Your Friends/While You're Still Young/Before You Can't See Through/Anyone

As a follow-up to yesterday's post about Pace's first black eye, here's a great song about a parent's ever-present fear about their child coming into harm.  If I remember correctly, Gord Downie wrote it after watching a young woman barrel racing at the Calgary Stampede and wondered how he would feel about his own daughter […]

First Shiner

It had to happen sometime and the first of many to come, I'm sure.  (I'm just glad it was his mom who let him do the face plant into his exersaucer instead of me!  But then again, is it wrong that I took a photo of it?)

Pace Slept Eight Hours In A Row Last Night

Just wanted to record that milestone for posterity.  His mom and I probably put that up there with first food and walking right about now!  Hopefully tonight will be a repeat.

Pace's Kindergarten Class

Since Pace was born, I've sort of had my ear tuned to what other friends and acquaintances have been naming their babies.  I grew up with one of the most common boy's names of the 1970's and although I didn't hate it, there's definitely something out-of-whack when you're in a graduating class of 44, half […]

In Praise of the Family Change Room at the Cornwall Centre

I had a meeting in Regina this morning so took the rest of the afternoon off to do various “only doable during a weekday” errands in the city.  One of the things we did which isn't necessarily a weekday-only activity was to stop at the Cornwall Centre which is Regina's downtown shopping mall.During the course […]

Riverdance Pace

Yet another reason that our son will be seeking psychotherapy in about twenty years…On a completely unrelated note, I'm bringing back “Classmate of the Day” except, since I've now convocated, I'm calling it “Colleague of the Day” and it will probably be a less of a regular feature then the former iteration was.  But anyhow, […]

Go Flames Go!

The Calgary Flames start their season tonight.  Pace is wearing an orange off-red outfit in this picture but I'm sure his loyalties are clear.  My predictions for the final this year are Flames over Tampa Bay in a re-match of 2004 with the right team winning this time. Pace is picking the Ducks repeating as […]
