I apologize for the delay in any posts. It has been a crazy week, well, month. Between Mel's wedding, sick kids and a new job/career, there has barely been time to think. But I am planning to get back on track. Maybe. Well. you know how good I am at staying on track.\</div>

To the Rescue...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One quiet afternoon, Kayla was down for her nap, and Kiera was playing in her room. When suddenly, the air was pierced by a blood curdling scream. Kayla woke up and realized she was in her crib. Oh the horror she felt when she saw those bars.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Instantly, or as instantly as a 3 year old moves, Kiera was on her feet and out her door. She ran to the hallway to find out what the commotion was about. She stood at the edge of the kitchen and exclaimed </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Kiera to the rescue Kayla!" She waited until her side kick, Mommy, opened the door to the nursery, then she launched herself down the hallway and in to the nursery. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"It's ok Kayla."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"She's so cute mommy."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So are you Super Kiera.</div>

Not pretty, but it was mighty tasty. Even Hubby found it spicy.<br />
<br />
I did change a couple of things. I didn't have ranch powder or dressing, so I used the Epicure Tzatziki Seasoning. I also put some Franks BBQ sauce as I didn't have enough of the Franks Buffalo Sauce.<br />
<br />
We put it on some rice (I forgot to take a picture) to help soften up the taste. Tonight we are making wraps with the left overs.<br />
<br />

My sister is getting married in a week, and I am in the wedding party. This means I need new shoes (wink, wink).<br />
<br />
Normally, I do not order shoes online because I have large, wide feet. This can cause sizing problems. Depending on the style of the shoe, I will take a 10, 10W or 11.<br />
<br />
However, for the wedding, I wanted some nice shoes. I cannot get them here, so online I go.<br />
<br />
I found these, and thought they were perfect for the dress.<br />

I got them, and they are a little tight across the toes, but otherwise, not a bad fit. Just need to break them in. <br />
<br />
Don't the go great with my pajamas?<br />

Here is the first installment of my Tried It series. This one was inspired by my sister's recent Bridal Shower. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She, not so subtly, indicated on Pinterest that this punch was something she wanted at the shower. And being the bestest oldest sister in the world, I complied.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Strawberry Champagne Punch looked delicious and not too difficult to make. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />1 liter sparkling champagne<br />1¼ cups fruit punch<br />1¼ cups ginger ale<br />1¼ cups orange juice<br />1 pint fresh strawberries<br />1 pint raspberry sherbet<br />1 pint vanilla ice cream<br /><br />Instructions<br />Chill juices and sodas before using.<br />Mix juices, soda and wine in punch bowl.<br />Add strawberries and stir.<br />Spoon in ice-cream and sherbet, mixing.<br />Add ice ball preferably made of frozen punch.</span></div>
<div style="color: #666666; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #666666; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">Since our other sister is allergic to strawberries, we substituted raspberries. The only other change I made was to use a tropical fruit punch instead to the regular berry one. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #666666; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">Oh, and I didn't add the ice ball because I forgot to make one.</span></span></span></div>

I'll admit that kids can come in handy sometimes.<br />
<br />
In the times before remote controls (man, am I dating myself), our parents used us to change the channel. When I was a teenager, we were cheap labour in the family business.<br />
<br />
However, with the invention of remotes, and not having a family business, I had not found things I can get the kids to do for me. <br />
<br />
Until recently.<br />
<br />
I found a use for my children quite by accident.<br />
<br />
One afternoon, I received a phone from a number I didn't recognize. I usually avoid those calls. If they really wanted to reach me, they would leave a message. However, this time, I was distracted by the children.<br />
<br />
"Hello, may I speak with Gina **** ****."<br />
<br />
"Speaking"<br />
<br />
"Hi, this is *****. I am calling from (insert some name here), and we are conducting a survey on your recent experience with ...." I am not going to go into the rest as I wasn't really listening.<br />
<br />
"I would like to ask you some questions. It should only take about 5 minutes."<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT-GY8r71hDy224C0gc7puFFcPoh6sjIQN0Y3A6zUXgorU5isySLgasy_DTczUmJzY1rkYd8lNJn3g7QxaoZzOaeg8JMY8fwv-9kmEG4rkTYR-raDI-aS2hbD4PNvcAlWgOC8nzCTmAsw/s1600/2012-06-14_17.31.18.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT-GY8r71hDy224C0gc7puFFcPoh6sjIQN0Y3A6zUXgorU5isySLgasy_DTczUmJzY1rkYd8lNJn3g7QxaoZzOaeg8JMY8fwv-9kmEG4rkTYR-raDI-aS2hbD4PNvcAlWgOC8nzCTmAsw/s320/2012-06-14_17.31.18.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
This is when the kids started screaming and whining at me.<br />
<br />
"Um, right now is not a good time."<br />
<br />
"Ok, we will try you another time. Good Bye."<br />

I have never been able to get a telemarketer off the phone so quickly. I need to train the girls to scream on command.<br />
On command only, I might add.<br />
<br />
My girls will come in handy after all.<br />

As cell phone users, I am sure we have all had our problems with Auto Correct. I usually blame it on the kids. Recently, I received this text from my husband.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">"Korea licked in her room"</span></span></i><br />
<br />
Can you decipher it?<br />

What is Pinterest?<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://pinterest.com/about/" target="_blank">Pinterest is a Virtual Pinboard.</a></span>
<br />
"Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things
you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings,
decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes.<br />
Best of all, you can browse pinboards created by other people.
Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get
inspiration from people who share your interests."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<span style="font-size: large;">I often wonder at the strangest things. I am not sure if it is the lack of sleep or my brain is wired for odd thoughts. Anyway, this was today's musing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With your first child, you are in a hurry for them to do everything. Talk, crawl, walk. You work with them, spend hours putting them into the crawling position.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once subsequent children come a long, you are hoping that they don't move too early. Because the day will come that you will need to go grocery shopping with both kids in tow, and unless you go to Costco or Superstore, the carts are only built for 1 kid. And really, if you have kids, you need as much space in that cart available for groceries. So you let them walk, and sensing your weakness, this will be the time they will run in opposite directions. It's like herding cats.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will pause so you can picture that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
For me, as much as I dread that day in the grocery store, I am hoping Kayla starts motoring soon. Even adjusting for her being preterm, she is behind in her gross motor skills.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She just started sitting on her own for short periods of time. And she will now keep her knees under her if you place her in the crawling position, but she will not put any weight on her arms. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am going to start thinking of song to sing to her to get her moving. Maybe something like "I can't Drive 55" or "Motoring."</div>

Kiera has been seeing a speech therapist since she was 16 months old. Her speech was slightly delayed, so we wanted to be proactive. In February, the speech therapist told me that she has noticed Kiera has been displaying some red flags that may indicate Autism. The first thing I did when I got home was to start researching autism, red flags and treatments.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My first thought, after reading some of the indicators, was "that might explain a lot." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Delayed speech or no speech - check</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Focused, gets lost in her own word - just like her daddy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Repetitive play - she loves to build towers, actually she just likes to stack things<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Likes to spin - but isn't that normal</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Behavour issues - sometimes she gets frustrated easily or has a tantrum for no apparent reason but then again, she is 2</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oversensitive to stimuli (feel, light, noise) - she usually takes her pants and socks off by the middle of the day and she isn't very affectionate with people </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No imaginative play - check</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Independent - check </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hmmmmmmmmmmm... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At our next appointment, B, the therapist, conducted a speech and language assessment. She found that Kiera scored normally in expressive comprehension, but scored low in auditory comprehension. My translation is her understanding of vocabulary and ability to express herself is normal, but her ability to understand and process what is said to her is low. Her brain processes input differently than ours, so she has difficulty following directions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fast forward to now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are awaiting assessment, which may take up to another year before that can be completed. And now I am starting to doubt my initial reaction. She has started to play imaginatively, she is social and can make eye contact, she is verbal and is not stuck to routines.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe she is just quirky.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />Is she autistic or am I just looking for behaviours that mimic autism?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Well, I told everyone the story of beginning of Kayla`s life, but I failed to introduce her. I am going to blaim mommy brain. I love that excuse, it covers so many forgetful moments, and off trackedness. Off Trackedness, I know it`s not a real word, but I like it. I just made it up, and it is so good at describing my thought processes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wait, what was I talking about?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right, introducing Kayla. Without further further ado, and before I forget again, here is Kayla.</div>

With no job to go back to after maternity leave, I have been thinking a lot about what I want to do. If I want to change careers, now is a good time.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I was 6, I wanted to be a professional baseball player, a teacher or a business woman. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
If life was perfect and I could do anything, what would I do?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Photographer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Psychologist<br />
Event Planner <br />
Singer<br />
Chef <br />
RULE THE WORLD<br />
<br />
Actually, not that last one, too much work.</div>Ginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12616322396475768398noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079993171663299000.post-64906736851555536962012-07-27T15:58:00.000-07:002012-07-27T15:58:00.774-07:00It's Never Too Early to Start<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not sure why, but I am on this creativity kick right now. Thinking about it, but not really doing anything with it yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Creativity is something I want to encourage in our girls. Even if you are not artistic, musical, etc, you can still be creative. Even in the business world, creativity helps you think "outside the box" (I wish I knew what box they are talking about), and come up with new or innovative solutions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kiera loves to colour and draw and paint, and do anything that makes a mess, so we do those kinds of things. However, I just discovered something else they can do, BLOG.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know, you would think that something like that would be obvious, but I never thought about it as something kids do. Until I heard about blogs written by kids.</div>

Veg (Mary) is a 9 year old girl in Scotland that has been photographing and talking about her schools cafeteria food on her blog <a href="http://neverseconds.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">NeverSeconds</a>. She even started <a href="http://www.marysmeals.org.uk/" target="_blank">Mary's Meals</a> to school lunch programs in developing countries.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In Toronto, KJ, who is 8 years old and the worlds youngest blogger, posts news stories that are interesting to children and adults alike on his<a href="http://www.thekidreporter.com/" target="_blank"> blog</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What an amazing way to allow kids to express themselves, share their interests and develop language skills. Perhaps one day Kiera and Kayla will have their own blog, and they can talk about "Life with Mommy and Daddy."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
While surfing the net, with a baby sleeping in one arm and dog napping on my legs, I came across this article: <a href="http://www.rookiemoms.com/25-activities-to-try-during-your-maternity-leave/" target="_blank">25 Activities To Do During Maternity Leave</a>. I was intrigued. This might give me some ideas of things to do with the kids. I opened the article and started reading.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I thought was just a list of activities turned out to be a Bucket List for the Family. The author is actually doing 101 things to do in 1001 days (<a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1656919608" target="_blank">H</a><a href="http://www.rookiemoms.com/101things-rmheather/" target="_blank">eather's List</a>). Now, that might be a little too ambitious for me, but I have come up with our Family Bucket List. To me, it's on going. As we discover new things, I will add to the list.</div>

Recently, on our way somewhere (I don't remember where or when exactly since no one was bleeding), I saw a balloon floating up into the sky.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Wondering where it came from, I looked around. I was frightened by what I saw.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A mother, on her knees, looking under her van. A 2 year girl in one hand, playing a toddlers favourite game "Dead Weight". There were 3 or 4 balloons in the other hand and a 6 year old boy beside her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first thought was please don't let that happen to me! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My second thought was we must stop and help her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And my third thought was "Oh My Goodness. I'm a mom!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
I read this article and thought "Exactly." Of course, as a first time mom, I doubt I would have listened. <br />
<br />
I have definitely noticed a change in attitude and priorities, and time in raising Kayla compared to Kiera.<br />
<br />
If the soother falls in the floor...<br />
Kiera - taken away, spare one pulled out of the purse, dropped one washed then boiled for 10 minutes<br />
Kayla - pick it up, inspect it for hairs, wipe it off, put it back in her mouth<br />
<br />
Feeding solid foods...<br />
Kiera - cereal for first 2 weeks, then vegetables for 1 month waiting a 4 days between introducing new flavours in case of allergies<br />
Kayla - cereal for 2 or 3 days, mixed vegetables right away, wait a day or 2 between introducing new flavours<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">Kiera - 4 months</span><br />
<br />
Photographs...<br />
Kiera - monthly growth photo's taken with her giraffe and shared on facebook<br />
Kayla - random photo's taken with cell phone and posted on facebook (no monthly schedule)<br />
<br />
Toys...<br />
Kiera - age appropriate toys and nothing else<br />
Kayla - anything that she cannot choke on or otherwise hurt herself with or that she can damage (we let her play with the DVD remote)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">Kayla - 4 months</span><br />
<br />
Illness...<br />
Kiera - temperature taken at the slightest sign on anything<br />
Kayla - temperature not taken at all, she is always happy<br />
<br />
In the end, I think both of the girls will out to be happy, well adjusted adults.<br />
I hope...<br />

But the truth is, if I was ever to explore my creative side, I would be a photographer. I love capturing nature in perfection. <br />
The world is so beautiful and powerful.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My sis played her inaugural roller derby bout a few nights ago. We dressed up, got the noise makers and made signs to cheer her on. </div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
What is it about Roller Derby that attracts the fans? I might be the hot pants and fish nets, but the crowd was mostly women. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is it the hip checks and shoulder checks that send the other girls flying? Or maybe its the spills that thrill? What other sport allows women to take out frustrations in such a way?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
According to Melotov, it is because it is the only sport where you can check a girl into the stands, and have her come back to you and say "Good Hit!" Those ladies have a great camaraderie both with each other, and with the teams they are playing against. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No matter what it is, I would love to be in on it. One day, I may be lacing up a pair of skates myself.</div>

Literally, there is. There is a Blogger app for my phone.<br />
That means I can post a blog any where I have my phone and wifi. In fact, I am posting from my phone right now (otherwise I would post a picture of me posting from my phone).<br />
I promise not to post from the bathroom.<br />
PS the photo was taken with another app I love <a href="http://www.jfdplabs.com/">Paper Camera</a><br />

<p>Just look at the composition, the use of colour.</p>
<p>And for dessert, I was treated with a pencil crayon popsicle.</p>
<p>Yummy. </p>
