Another one pushes through

Sophie has produced another molar - at least part of it. She was up in the night with such a pain-filled wail, that it came as no surprise to find a bit of white poking through this evening.

This morning I took Seb to the semi-weekly kids drop-in gym at the community centre. It was great - complete with a trampoline - and it's free! I think we'll go with Sophie next week, as there were lots of little ones. Seb also went to the ROM today with uncle Coyen - that would be Colin to most. He was desperate to see the dinosaurs (Seb, not Colin), and managed to convince Colin to buy him a stuffed toy dino and a hot chocolate. Mike and I were off to register for Ontario medical coverage. I then pushed Sophie all the way home down Queen W and Dundas - a long long walk but it allowed us some time to get to know order of streets and key buildings, as well as identify local businesses. We've found a new organic store run by a young couple with a new baby (strapped to proud dad's chest as he restocks the shelves) and a tiny one-woman bakery. There's a Portugese fish and grocer round the corner that we have yet to try. Yesterday we stopped in at our local DVD rental shop; it looks pretty good with a wide array of dvds even for kids (tho I had to tell Seb that there will be no Dora the explorer or Diego in our house - foot down).

Tomorrow is our interview with the French school to see if we speak the language well enough and are appropriately committed to "the cause" or something. Wish us "bonne chance". It will also be an opportunity to find out if we like the school. At least Seb has been allocated a French immersion space at a local school where chum Xin is going.

Tomorrow is also the start of the plumbing reno. Should be 2 weeks. I'm leaning toward painting the new "powder" /laundry room berry berry or blackberry delight or some such (foolish) thing. Mike has opted us in for some high tech (high end!) washer and dryer with huge front-load windows which look made for an aquarium.

Speaking of fish, "red and blue" made it to ON but seems to be quite sluggish. Might be that we are so busy we have forgotten to feed him on occasion...

I'd best be off to bed as the big interview is at 9 tomorrow morning.
