Expensive Water Bottle

This is the $440.00 water bottle that Owen received today at the orthodontist. It includes a consultation, ex rays, photos, two molds and a flashy presentation next week to convince us to spend ten times this amount to straighten Owen's bottom teeth.

I was driving Aidan and his friend to a girl's house on Saturday.

They were talking about TV shows they watched as children. Or not watch as the case with Aidan: Power Rangers, Ninja Turtles, Pokemon. I was explaining that Aidan was not allowed to watch Pokemon or have the cards because he was obsessive as a child.

Three years of dinosaurs and we didn't want our conversations to be centred around a cartoon character. He then became obsessed with hockey which involved real people. I said to him in the car that he really isn't obsessive anymore except for his guitar music. He said that he did obsess over one other thing.

"GIRLS" shouts friend in the back seat.

Aidan grins from ear to ear.

Brennan: What does that mean?

Sigh.

New School For Baby Bear

Baby Bear was offered admission to Lester B Pearson School for the Arts this week.


We are very excited for him. It has been a little bittersweet for a few reasons. First, his friend R-Guy didn’t make it in. We thought for sure he would, very creative little boy. Second, we hate for him to lose his French. Baby Bear seems to enjoy speaking French much more than the other bears did at his age.

It will cost $827 for him to take the school bus to his new school. Not to mention activity fee, dress pants and shoes.

I am looking forward to making costumes for their many plays. Maybe I'll get discovered.
