Why Em See Ay!
I joined the YMCA on the weekend and went for a workout on Monday. It felt great! They gave me $30 worth of babysitting fees too so I will be taking Chance in probably once per week during the afternoon. Additionally there is a free bike class at 6 PM on Tuesdays so I can go get organized and then Cam will go directly to the Y en route to home and pick up Chance. So I should get in about 3 workouts a week at least, maybe 4. Sounds like fun to me!

Rhubarb
*sniff*
I decided to hack down the rhubarb and freeze a bunch for the winter today while Chance napped.
I ended up chopping off the tip of my thumb. I went to the walk in clinic and they steri-stripped it for me (the same stuff they used to close my c-section).
Thank goodness Cam came home from his golf game when he did, I was contemplating leaving Chance with the neighbour.
The doctor said it would be 5 or 6 days before the steri-strips can come off. Have to keep it clean & watch for infection.

Look What I Can Do
It's been like this for a few weeks now, but have had a hard time snapping a pic as he loooooves the camera and immediately drops down to a crawl to try and grab it. The first time he balanced on both feet was middle of June, at his Great Grandma Marie's house in La Ronge.

Oh, the hilarity...
2 PM. Fussy baby. Need groceries. Pack up baby, make grocery list.
2:30 PM. Leave house in stroller. Forget watch in the house.
2:31 PM. Bump into friendly neighbour lady, chat for a little while.
2:45 PM. Encounter construction and take detour to avoid smells and noise. Baby is asleep.
3:10 PM. Arrive at store, shop.
3:20 PM. Have located everything on list, except taco shells. Husband has been dropping hints for weeks that he likes taco shells. Peek at baby. Baby is WIDE AWAKE.
3:35 PM. Where are the ^$@$#@!~ taco shells???
3:36 PM. Oh. There. Good.
3:40 PM. At checkout, glance at clock on computer screen. Force the bubble of panic down back into gut.
3:45 PM. Leave grocery store. Chuck the bread and bananas into the stroller with the baby. 2.5 kms to cover in 10 minutes. Frantically run as fast as possible wearing SANDALS. Baby hoots appreciatively as you tear down the sidewalk with passers-by pointing and laughing.
3:55 PM. Arrive at the house, park baby (in stroller) and run like a maniac into the house, nearly wiping out on the stairs. Dunk head under tap of tub and run back out of the house with hair wrapped in towel. Pluck baby out of stroller and plunk him directly into his car seat and drive (calmly, safely) to doctor's office.
4:15. Arrive at doctor's office and relax - we made it!

Wild Weekend
Time just flew by this weekend. On Saturday morning Cam went to play paintball and came back with a few welts on his arms and shoulders. On Saturday afternoon Dani went to a friend's stagette party and didn't come home until after midnight!
Sunday morning Chance was a bit grumpy (lately afternoon naps are the enemy). Also we can see 3 teeth that appear very close to erupting, so maybe that's the reason. Anyways, we were busy keeping him occupied. We went for a family walk in Fish Creek Park on Sunday afternoon and left a sleeping Chance in his Chariot while we took a dip in the river. Next time we will remember bathing suits and towels, but it was so warm out that we were both completely dry by the time we got home!
We stopped at a park and Chance took another solo swing - he loves it, he just pulls his little legs up and squeals!
2 videos to share:
Chance fighting sleep at suppertime after he refused to nap all afternoon:
Cam swearing at the cat while Chance is eating dinner (turn the volume up).

Bathing Suit Blahs Begone!
I love Sears.ca. They have a virtual model tool there where you can enter your height, weight, skin colour, hair colour, hairstyle and even customize your facial features (thin mouth, wide nose, etc.) to come up with a virtual "you". You can then choose from any of the swimsuits that Sears sells, so you'll have an idea whether they'll look good on you or not. I was surprised at how accurate the model was, she even has the same stocky thighs as me!
