I am sad

I am sad because my little girl, my baby is growing up.

The other day, she was playing with her friend and they were dancing and building forts.  I walked into the room and there was a distinct body odor smell. The other girl is a year younger so I knew it was not her.

To be honest I have noticed other changes.  She is only 8 years old, nine in October.  It just makes me so sad.  She is so innocent.  I am pretty open and honest about the human body but I am not ready for this.  She is only in Grade 3...

She just learned to blow a bubble with her gum.  Although, this past week she has asked me to wake her up earlier so that she has time "to get ready" for school.  She never cared before.  She even laughed one morning "I look older than what I really am!" I got sadder.

B got deodorant for Christmas (his favourite gift) in preparation.  She and I went out and bought some and she was not embarrassed (maybe by this blog down the road?) but if I think about it, Grade 4 I was shaving my legs and had started to change too...

Opposites

 

 

These are photos from Daphne's room.  She is my little clutter bug, collector, some would even say hoarder.   This is the opposite of Breton.  Below are pictures of Breton's room.  He frequently purges items that he is not using when he rearranges his room.  He and I are similar.  I have a hard time with the clutter.  At the same time I do not want to crush Daphne's artistic free spirit.  So I shut the door and sometimes purge her room when she is not home:)  But that has run me into trouble.  see Robyn's Nest: Daphne!!  http://duhparenting101.blogspot.ca/2011/08/daphne.html

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

 

 

 

 

 

Poppy!

So I have an umbilical hernia.  It normally does not bother me.  Usually only after I have done some heavy lifting.  I will not touch it directly.  It can be tender when in the shower and I am washing my body.

I was going to have you all name it but then I named her myself...her name is Poppy!  She is that little marble like nodule above my belly button.  I had it looked at by my Dr and she said until it really causes discomfort not to worry.

Say hi to POPPY!!!

Happy Birthday Grandma!!!

We want to wish Grandma a very Happy Birthday!!

 

Hope your birthday is not as wild as this simulated hurricane:)  Or may be wilder than this simple hurricane?

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Grandma!

 

Love Breton Robyn & Daphne

STELLA OLIVIA GEORAGANAS! 

 

She came into the world so fast, as the co-coach I did not have time to get to the hospital.  She arrived around 4am-ish, weighing 6lbs 14oz.

 

I think she looks like her big sister Molly.
