The small violin

He's not trying out for a 1950's gangster part for midgets.
It's a 3/4 or 1/8 violin.  I forget.
All I know is it's small.

He just did his second class today, and his first lesson was on how to practice holding it.

This was what practice this week was like.

Wow. Thank god my first violin lesson was like that-- that teacher seems so strict! I would have failed, and she would have taken my money and went home. I guess it's good to learn the right way, though. Good luck, and enjoy the music (when you get there)!

Elementary Valentine

It was Valentine's Day, and we weren't sure what Kieran was supposed to exactly do for school that day.  He told us something but we weren't exactly sure if they were doing that in class or it was something he could do for class.  We asked him again and he was unsure too.
The more we asked the unclearer it got.
In any case, he wanted to bring something to share with 28 others in his class plus the teachers.  That makes 30 squares.

It just had to be nut free.
So rice crispie squares it was.
Simple and kids love em.
Cuz it's full of sugar.






Yet they are pretty much hypo-allergenic.
And Kieran can eat them, without fear of using his Epi-pen.



And he brought his W-S bag full of his Valentine treats and his James Joyce book in both Croatian and English.
He's been to school early this week.  Not by 1 min or 10mins.  By 30 mins or more.

Lucky for me, because I had left behind my rings and chain at the gym on Friday and they were still there first thing Monday morning.

So I bought Kieran his favourite.
He's almost finished the box.

Bakerbots Baking

We were around the Ossington and Bloor area and we decided to stop by one of Tresa's friends shop that she recently opened up.

This is Rosanne,  she created Kieran's last two birthday cakes.
The Rocket Ship that he was picking the sugar pieces off of, and the fish that got devoured.




The shop is just west of Ossington.  It's actually right beside the west exit/entrance of Ossington station.
I wasn't expecting to get anything there.
We hadn't eaten supper yet.






We were in the area because we had to pick up something for one of Kieran's afterschool activities.
So we decided to stop by Bakerbots Baking.






But we ended up treating ourselves to a cone of ED's ice cream.  I had the Burnt Marshmallow, Kieran had the French Mint and Tresa had the only non-ED's ice cream on the menu.

She's not open every day. I think they're only open from Wed to Sun. But, if you go.  Get the Burnt Marshmallow.  It's yummy in my tummy.
