Another "First"

Usually these firsts are something exciting to announce! Something to cross off of an ever expanding list.

Well, Talulah had another first last night. Two of them actually... Unfortunately, they are two we could have done without. Her fist trip to the Emergency Room and her first (two) stitches.

I got a call at work from the daycare saying that, while playing outside, Talulah was pushed by another kid. She fell off a ledge and gashed the back of her head. I left work and got to daycare as fast as I could. They had cleaned up her blood and tried to get her to relax until I got there, but Talulah (being Talulah) didn't need to relax. So, they put a dressing on her head (with a toque over top) and she went back to playing. It was still bleeding a bit when I got there, and it was a big enough gash that it needed to be looked at.

She was excited for swimming lessons that night because Daddy was going to watch too! So, I called Daddy to tell him there would be no swimming lessons because we were heading to the hospital. I filled him in and he decided to come and meet us.

The nurse in triage took a look and said it would probably need to be closed so she put some numbing gel on and bandaged her up for the wait to see a doctor. The bandage went all the way around Talulah's head... It looked pretty darn cute - and Talulah was super happy because they let her keep what was left of the roll of gauze to play with.

We only waited a couple of hours before we got to see the doctor. Talulah was stellar, but definitely bored. We had to bust out the Netflix on my phone to keep her from climbing the walls. The doctors came and put two stitches in the back of Talulah's head and she didn't cry or struggle at all. Such a tough little cookie!

Here are some photos to record two more of Talulah's firsts. She's so funny. I'm sure these situations are much harder on us than they are on her.

Watching the fish in the waiting room.

 Happy Lula! (So tough)

Cutie.

The scene of the crime.

Right before they stitched her up.

Snuggling with Mommy after we got home.

TMI? Maybe... Funny? Heck yes!

Talulah and I frequently shower together. Or rather, I have a shower and Talulah stops whatever she's doing to strip down and join me. (And, by "join me" I mean monopolize all of the hot water so I get to shiver in the corner trying to lather myself clean.)

Anyway... one particular shower (this is where the TMI comes in - brace yourselves) it had been a while since I shaved, well, anything. Talulah noticed in her own little Talulah way.

A couple of days later we were grocery shopping. More specifically in the crowded produce section of our grocery store and Talulah pipes up loudly, "Mommy, you have hair on your BUM?".

FREEZE... Panic.... I reply out of sheer humiliation and also to clarify to the complete strangers who could care less about the state of my bum, "No I don't!".

Silence. I'm blushing but trying to act cool as a cucumber.

Then again, just as loudly as before, Talulah pipes up for round two.

"On your paaaaaaaa-nis?"





Sigh.




And the rest of the conversation went as follows:

Mommy: No Talulah. Mommy doesn't have a penis.

Talulah: Just baby Gus?

Mommy: Yes, baby Gus has a penis because he's a boy.

Talulah: And how 'bout my Dad?

Mommy: (Seriously? This is what we're talking about while grocery shopping??) Yes Talulah. Your Dad is a boy too.

Talulah: But not me. I'n a girl. I don't have a penis. (then VERY loud and proud) I have a 'GINA.




And that was that. Oh, wait. Forgot one thing... Later while we were standing in line (probably with some witnesses to our previous conversation) Talulah had a teensy little toot, looked at the cashier and said ever so sweetly, "S'cuse me. Dat's my bum!"

At least the girl's got manners, even if her filter's broken.

A BIG Thank You!

Talulah and I wanted to share our appreciation for the time we spent with some special peeps yesterday! Her great aunt Carol & great uncle Rick (actually… I suppose it's great great aunt & uncle, but that's just a mouth full) organized a horse drawn wagon ride and invited us along! (It was supposed to be a sleigh ride, but there wasn't enough snow so it was a wagon ride, lol!)

It was so much fun! Talulah was hilarious, totally not shy and she had to be rescued by Ryan on numerous occasions. My no-fear kid was all over the place and leaning WAY over the side of the wagon to see the dogs, horses, snow, purple wolves, bears, unicorns, foxes…. etc. etc. etc. Well, she didn't see purple wolves, bears, unicorns or foxes - but it wasn't for lack of trying! (Thank you Ryan for keeping her safe!) Talulah rewarded Ryan with a nice snuggle while she drank her hot chocolate.

She was so in love with her cousins Jayden, Riley, Shayna and Saskia. Like seriously, she LOOOOOOOOVED them! 

We roasted hotdogs and marshmallows, made s'mores, ate LOTS of treats (Talulah's got her Daddy's sweet tooth, that's for sure), sang some Christmas carols, played in the snow…. Such a Christmas-y event, filled with family! (Or ex-family-in law?? Whatever…. FAMILY.)

Anyway, just thought I'd share the message of thanks that we sent to all of them. Because, they're all awesome and the kids are fantastic and it was a really really special time. 

So, all y'all reading this… Be sure to send some extra love to your families this holiday season!

With that, here's a big public THANK YOU to Rick, Carol, Tracy, Rob, Ryan, Chrissy, Shayna, Saskia, Jayden & Riley - We love you!

Hey Everyone!

I just wanted to thank you so much for an awesome day yesterday. Talulah and I had a BLAST! It was so unbelievably nice to spend some quality time with all of you. You have no idea. :)

After we got in the car Talulah cried for a good ten minutes because she wanted her "friends". She kept interrupting her cries with, "What's da big one's name again? Oh Shayna…. I waaaaaaant my Shaaaaayyna 'cause I looooooove her!" and repeat with all names. I had to tell her we'd go to Jayden and Riley's house all the time (couldn't include Shayna & Saskia's house because China's a little too far to promise) and then play some Raffi on the stereo to calm her down. Also, the promise of a REALLY big snuggle when we got home seemed to help a bit. And then she passed out HARD for the rest of the drive. 

Shayna & Saskia are so grown up! Not to mention so sweet, polite, friendly and thoughtful. They both helped Talulah without hesitation many times and it seriously warmed my heart like you wouldn't believe. Saskia helped Talulah navigate the snow and climb through the rope fence. Shayna made sure she was safe in the deep snow and when Talulah went over to her (nice and warm by the fire) and said, "Do you wanna go play wiss me?" Shayna, without hesitation, said, "Sure!" and popped her gloves on to head out to the snow. Both girls were excited to see her and were more than happy to read her the book she got from everyone for Christmas! (Which we forgot at your place, of course. Because I forget everything since becoming a mom.) Saskia was having trouble getting her gloves back on after the wagon ride so I stopped and asked if she wanted help with her gloves. She replied with a polite, "Yes please." and a "Thank you." after each glove. SO POLITE! If I was struggling with my gloves when it was that cold I would have replied with a "GAH, YEEEESSSSS PLEASE! HURRY!" So seriously Tracy & Rob - what's your secret??

Jayden & Riley are just as I remember them from a couple of weeks ago. ;) So sweet. I love how happy Jayden was to hear about how much Talulah missed (and loved) her from their last play date. Jayden's always so outgoing and FRIENDLY - I love it! It was so nice to see how close she is with her cousins - it's exactly like you told me Chrissy - they want to be together all the time! Oh, and Riley with his "donkey-horse" comments? They don't get much cuter than that! I laughed so hard. I loved watching him sometimes play with the other kids and sometimes off to explore by himself (rearranging the HUGE wood pile was priceless.) And, I think he even started talking to me at the end of the visit! Usually he just plays with Talulah & Jayden and ignores me the whole time. I like to think we're just communicating telepathically… But sure, I guess he's "shy". Hee…

Rick & Carol - being the lead in the entourage, organizing the whole wagon ride and hotdog/marshmallow roast, goodies for the kids, and inviting us along was so awesome! The kids may not have been into the Christmas carols, but I sure was! It was SUCH A GREAT TIME! And we really really do need to get together more often. :) Thank you so much!

I'm so thankful that Donovan and I remained close and have an amazing co-parenting relationship. It means I still get to have a friendship with him and I still get to be involved with  all of you! It really is so wonderful to have all of this. And, Talulah's lucky to have so many people who adore her. Amazing parents who love her, a stepmom who ROCKS (sometimes when I tell Talulah she's going to Daddy's house she says she doesn't want to see Daddy, just "Dodi" (aka: Jodi). It warms my heart that she loves Jodi so much, that's how I can tell she's a wonderful stepmom.), grandparents who are crazy about her and a plethora of aunts, uncles and cousins who are nothing but happy to see her!

Anyway, I know it's just a big mass of email mush… But I really really had a great time yesterday and loved seeing the kids all together. You brought the love this Christmas season, that's for sure!

The only thing that was missing? TRACY!!! I was really sad that I didn't get to see you (and that you didn't get to join in on the fun). It would have been so wonderful! Talulah and I are heading to Winnipeg on boxing day and won't be back until January 5th - I don't suppose you'll still be in town? Next time you're here, I'd really love to see you too. It's been way too long. Someone - please give Tracy a BIG HUG from Talulah and I! 

So, thank you, thank you, thank you a million times over!

Love,

Sarah & Talulah xoxo

Talking With Talulah

Talulah talks all the time. All. The. Time. There is never a moment of quiet when Talulah's around.

It's pretty adorable. I love listening to her, especially now that she's doing more make believe play. I love it. 

There are certain things she says, some sweet and some sassy, that make me laugh. Even when I'm trying to be stern... I'm howling inside. Here are a few:

- When Talulah hears something she doesn't like (usually "no") she'll sometimes reply with a, "I not your friend anymore!" in a huff. Yesterday? She didn't like what I had to say so then pulled out the big guns with, "Auntie Lissa not your sisser anymore!"

- Most of you know that Talulah has a birthmark on her bum. It's so cute. You know where the Care Bears have their hearts?? That's where Talulah's birthmark is. She always asks what it is and I tell her it's her birthmark. The other day she was naked and posing in front of the mirror. I asked her what she was doing and she said, "Looking at my market." Yes........... market = birth mark. SO. CUTE.

- I was laying in Talulah's bed with her at bedtime. We had finished reading a couple of books and she was coming up with excuse after excuse to keep herself awake. (I thirsty. I s'got someping... etc.) She rolled over and looked at me and we had the following conversation:

     Talulah: Mommy? We're better friends.

     Mommy: Better friends?

     Talulah: Yeah.

     Mommy: Do you mean best friends?

     Talulah: Yes................. And cookies.

     Mommy: (blank stare)

     Talulah: (loving smile)

     Mommy: Yeah, we're best friends and cookies. 

     Talulah & Mommy: (hug)

- Remember Penn? Talulah's elf on the shelf that we introduced you to last year? Well, Penn's been back since the beginning of the month keeping an eye on Talulah so he can report back to Santa each night and tell him if she's been naughty or nice. When she's being particularly naughty I remind her that Penn's watching and he might not be giving a good report if her behavior continues. One night in particular we were at the dinner table and Talulah was being particularly uncooperative (read: having a fit because she wanted cookies for supper not actual SUPPER for supper!). I reminded her that Penn was watching and she sat quietly for a few seconds.... Then looked at me and with a little attitude said, "Penn's not eating his supper."        : |         That's right Talulah.... if you get Penn in trouble then maybe you won't get in trouble, right??

- We were watching one of the Land Before Time movies and as you may or may not know... There are some scary dinosaurs in it (T-Rex... otherwise known as "Sharp Tooth"). In one scene a sharp tooth came out and let out a huge ROOOOOOOOAR!! Talulah said, "Dat's my daddy." then on the screen all the little kid dinosaurs screamed and ran away. To which Talulah followed up with, "He scares my friends." all the while having her sweet little grin on her face.

- Last night laying in bed with Talulah and she was again practicing her staying-awake skills. She sat up and said in her squeakiest little voice, "You're so cute! Look at you my little Mommy... So cute!" while pinching my cheeks. 

Sigh. My sweet girl has literally no "baby" left in her. (I remember this frequently when hauling all 29 lbs of her around when she wants to "nuggle" while running errands.) She's such a kid now. It makes me happy - because she amazes me every day with her awesomeness... But it also makes me kinda sad. We often look at baby pictures of Talulah together and it makes me weepy every time. How did my baby get so big?!

A good friend of mine wrote this today. Melt. I'm pretty sure she's been reading my mind again. 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Sweet Talulah had a visit with Santa over the weekend. She was excited to see him, but when they actually met face to face she was SUPER shy and just a little scared of the big guy. He was very patient and friendly, as usual - It's the exact same Santa she's had her picture taken with every year since she was born.

She ended up sitting on my knee next to Santa and I just leaned waaaaaaayyy out of the picture. If you look closely you can see my fingers in the bottom left corner by the Christmas tree. Hee... Didn't think about moving my hand out of the way.

Anyway, Talulah answered his questions very quietly and then gave a teensy smile once the big guy handed over a candy cane. That kid's, always got candy on the brain. :)

We watched Santa visit with some other kids (who SCREAMED BLOODY MURDER the minute they got close to him) and then Talulah told me that she's very worried about Santa. I guess she can see that it's taxing to have a good portion of kidlets scream and cry when they get close to you. She doesn't want Santa to have a broken heart.

Sweetest girl ever.

And... she looks like a grown up here! I swear she doesn't look this old in real life. It pulled at my heart strings a little. My baby girl is actually going to be a grown up someday!! (Time - feel free to slow down whenever you're ready.)

Happy holiday season everyone! I'm not normally ready to say that until at least December 1st, but with a little one around - I can't help but get into the spirit a little earlier!

Talulah ♥'s Gus 4ever

I found this post as a Draft in my list. I'm not sure why it didn't get posted, must have been a mistake. Anyway... here's an old post from June (and, by the way, I'm pretty sure they're even cuter now):



Last month marked Gus's first birthday. I know, right? He's ONE already? What the heck?!

It seems like just yesterday he was born. Hell, it seems like just yesterday Talulah was born... People always said that it's amazing how fast time passes when you have kids. It's not just amazing, it's down right unbelievable!

Anyway, little miss and I went to Winnipeg for ten days to ring in the first year with Baby Gus! He's so adorable... And Talulah's so adorable... Together?? It's a little hard to take. They melt my heart pretty much with every breath. They're so in love.

When Talulah walks into the room, Gus flaps his arms so hard I swear he's caught air a few times. Talulah talks in her sleep saying, "I want to see Baby Gus" and kisses and (tries to) carry him all the time.

We were in the car together (Talulah and Gus alone in the back seat) and Gus was exhausted. He was not happy to be awake so he thought he'd let us know about it. Just a few tears in and we could hear Talulah saying, "I yuv you Baby Gus. Don't cry. I yuv you." and holding his hand. Just when I thought I couldn't take the sweetness anymore, she busted out with, "It's okay Baby Gus, I here. I here Baby Gus."

Seriously.

SERIOUSLY. I almost died.

That same car ride, when Gus woke up from his snooze, he opened his eyes, saw Talulah and smiled the biggest smile ever.

No but really, I'm not making it up... They ARE this cute together.

Sigh. Can't wait to go back in July. It's hard being apart when you know you're missing out on this much cute.

Talulah is THREE!

Whaaaat?? How did that happen?

I remember holding my teeny tiny 5lb 14oz baby so close and marveling at her perfection like it was just a few months ago. I remember her first roll over and her learning to crawl and walk. I remember her first words, her first hugs, her first slobbery kisses....

And now I've got this little three year old who's got sass like nobody's business. Who corrects me when I call her "Baby" or "Sweetie" or "Love" with, "I not a baby, I Talulah". Who tells me she loves me and that she'll keep me safe. Who has her very own friends at daycare, not just my friends kids. Who tells me what she's going to wear and not the other way around.

Wow.

I can only imagine how this is all going to feel when she's 10, 16, 20... My little baby is such a little GIRL now.

Talulah's birthday party was awesome. She had tonnes of fun with her friends and family! I haven't had a chance to load any pictures to my computer yet, so those will follow shortly.

Happy Birthday to my little love and the best daughter a Mommy could ask for! I love you Talulah!

Super-Lula!

So, Talulah is pretty much a superstar. No, really.

She did absolutely amazing when going in for her surgery. We all went in (Talulah, Mommy & Daddy) at 9:30 am because they called and said there was a cancellation so we could get in early. I was really happy about that, thinking that little miss wouldn't have to be hungry and thirsty for as long, but it didn't actually pan out that way.

We went in and Talulah was assigned to bed 12. While we were waiting to be assigned our bed, I leaned over and mumbled to Donovan, "Is it weird that I feel like an extra on Grey's Anatomy?". That's how little hospital experience I have. I looked at their white board with all of the scheduled surgeries on it and people hollering this and that and everyone just doing their jobs. Apparently to this mama, Hospital = Grey's Anatomy.

Anyway, we went to bed 12 and Talulah gets her hospital pajamas - a blue open back gown with yellow and white striped pants. OMG, she was adorable. Happily put them on and chilled out on her bed.

Remember when I said she loved doctors? Yeah, that pretty much goes for any medical staff. Talulah was so happy any time they monitored anything and she just sat there patiently cooperating. Her Daddy and I were so proud.

We watched part of Up and part of Tangled on the iPod. We read some books (I brought WAAAAAAAAY too many to the hospital. Better to be prepared though, right?), pretended to sleep on a lump (lump = giggling Talulah) coloured some pictures, played "let's jump like a maniac off the bed and hope somebody catches me" and when Talulah started to notice her thirst we took more desperate measures.

It was fort building time. We built a fort with the hospital bed and a sheet. Talulah's really into hiding lately. So she hid in the fort and we had to search the entire area before we found her. Plenty 'o giggles to be heard every time we said, "Where's Talulah?".

When we "found" her, we wrapped her up in the sheet and held her like a baby. The spin-off from that was that we decided to see if we still remembered how to swaddle. It's much harder to swaddle an almost three year old with a full sized sheet than it is to swaddle a newborn with a receiving blanket, but we managed just fine.

(All of this was happening while what looked like students were toured around the unit. We got a few smiles for our antics... But hey, our kid was happy!)

Then, it was off to the train tracks. Well, the train tracks in the day surgery unit of the Children's Hospital anyway. One of my favourite things ever is when Talulah says her version of "chugga chugga choo-choo" which is "kaka kaka tschoo tschoo" over and over and over again. I caught it on video (which I'll post below) but you have to listen really well to hear her quiet little voice.

Around 12:30 it was clear that she was bored, hungry and thirsty. She tried to escape us and run away but we were too fast for her. She said a few times, "I want to go to my home" and I felt so sad for her.

When it came time for the porter to wheel Talulah to the actual surgery area, Talulah layed on her bed while she was wheeled around. She thought it was pretty cool. She also thought it was pretty cool to see all the fish, dolphins and many sea creatures that long term patients had made, which were on display.

The anesthesiologist came to talk to us and tell us what we can expect while Talulah's getting put under. He said it's sometimes hard for parents because kids can make a gurgling sound, thrash a little bit, and their eyes roll back when the anesthetic kicks in. We were told that only one parent can go in with her... Poor Daddy didn't even have a chance. I shot my hand up right away to indicate I'd be the one going in with Talulah. We agreed in the end that it was for the best anyway so I don't feel THAT bad. ;)

I got dressed in a cap and gown (just like you see on Grey's Anatomy, although at this point I wasn't thinking even a little bit about Grey's) and I carried Talulah into the operating room. She sad on the operating bed (table?) with her back leaning on the anesthesiologist. He showed her the mask and put it over my mouth so Talulah could see what it looked like. Then, he put some bubblegum scented drops in the mask and let her sniff them. When he was sure she was going to stay calm he gave a nod to the nurse to turn on the gas. Talulah just continued to breathe. Calm and SO AMAZING. The doctor warned me that she may start to thrash around at "this" point, but she didn't. She closed her eyes and her little head nodded to the side. I helped pull her bum down the bed so she was lying down, gave Talulah a kiss and then a nurse escorted me out.

I remember the nurse telling me how much she loved Talulah's name and if she wasn't too old to have kids she'd totally use it for a girl, yadda, yadda, yadda... But I was too out of it to respond appropriately. As soon as I wasn't with Talulah, my calm demeanor disappeared and I was a basket case. But hey, I'm sure they expect that.

The surgery was quick. Donovan and I headed to the waiting room and sat for about half an hour. Our pager went off which meant we could go back to the day surgery unit to be with Talulah when she came out of recovery. We rushed in just as Talulah was getting wheeled back into her space on her bed. She was awake and happily sucking on a very red popsicle.

She was quiet, and the popsicle didn't leave much room for talking... But man-oh-man did she LOVE that popsicle. She's such a sweetheart she even shared with her Daddy when he asked for a lick.

Donovan and I crowded our faces in with hers and just watched her enjoy her popsicle until it was all gone. She drank a bunch of apple juice while the nurse took her blood pressure and monitored her breathing.

The surgeon came to talk to us and told us she did great. That there was LOTS of fluid in her ear so we could expect to see more drainage. He gave us some ear drops to avoid an infection for the first few days and answered all of our questions.

The nurse came around to check Talulah over one more time and then she was discharged!

We got Talulah dressed, and as we were leaving she asked for a cookie. She knows that we always stop to get her a treat on the way out of the hospital, and surgery wasn't going to make her forget this time either!

Remember when I was nervous that she'd have a bad experience and stop loving doctors/hospitals/etc.? Well, just this morning when we were leaving for daycare she said, "I don't want to go to daycare, I want to go to the hosplittle." So, I guess I don't have to worry about that. :)

Here are some pictures of our little superstar in action:

Post surgery, post Popsicle.  

Are there any more Popsicles down there? 

At home, ready to relax... Or build some more forts, whatev.

(She's in there... if you look really hard.)

And hey... If you have some time for a video, check out Talulah playing with trains. :)

Surgery

Talulah goes for her very first ever surgery tomorrow. In the medical world it's a very common, very simple surgery to drain the fluid out of her right ear and insert an ear tube so more fluid won't build up.

It's pretty easy to say that from a medical point of view... But from a Mommy's point of view? Well, from a Mommy's point of view it's pretty freakin' scary no matter how common/simple it's supposed to be.

I've known about the surgery for about a month and, although it was stressful to make the decision to have it done, I felt like I had educated myself and was comfortable with the decision. Donovan and I didn't take it lightly, we did our research and talked to people who had experiences with ear tubes and talked with each other. We made a good decision based on the knowledge we had, I have no doubt about that.

I was pretty calm and thought I had it all together. But this whole week has been a gong show. I'm nervous. REALLY nervous. And also really stressed. I know it'll be fine, but that's my baby girl! Well, OUR baby girl... I know Donovan feels the same way.

Talulah loves the Children's Hospital. LOVES it. Whenever we go for appointments, as soon as the hospital is in view she squeals and kicks her feet and gets so excited! She'll either cry out, "Can we go there Mommy? Pease? Pease?" or, like the last time, "My city! Mommy, can we go to my city?" when I reply with a yes, she thanks me profusely, "Yank you Mommy! Yank you!"

She loves the wavy benches, she loves to look out the windows and touch the stained glass wall. She loves the play area at each waiting point. She loves the stickers and all of the friendly people. She loves stopping in the coffee shop for a treat on the way out and she loves making echos in the parkade.

It's pretty adorable how excited she gets when we go. I really hope things go SUPER smoothly and Talulah is safe, happy and comfortable. And......... I really hope nothing happens that ruins the hospital for her. I love that she loves going to the doctor, hospital, family doctor, whatever. I love that she's not scared of it and I don't want that to change.

Above everything else... I want everything to be as simple as the doctors and nurses say it's going to be. I want Talulah to wake up as happy as my cousin Sam did when she got ear tubes.

Gah... Anyway, I'm rambling. So, send all your good thoughts Talulah's way tomorrow!

Parrots & Such

The other day Talulah kept asking for a parrot. She even busted out the "peas" like nobody's business. Here's how the conversation went:

Talulah: Mommy, can I have a parrot? Peas? Peas?
Mommy: A parrot?
Talulah: Yes.
Mommy: What do you want to do with a parrot?
Talulah: I want to eat it.
Mommy: Oh no! Poor parrot!
Talulah: (giggle) Peas?

She followed me around asking for a parrot while I was wondering why she wants to eat a colourful bird. I mean, I did think it was cute that she wanted a parrot... But there was no way we were getting a bird.

Then, she followed me into the kitchen and pointed to our over-flowing fruit bowl and said, "Peas Mommy?"

I said, "Talulah, do you mean a pear?" to which she replied, "A pear. Yes."

I giggleD to myself while I washed her a pear to nibble on. Seriously? How is it possible that she keeps getting cuter? The confusion may have come from the fact that we watched the movie Rio, which is a cartoon about exotic birds.

Then, yesterday she asked for a "pear-d". Seriously......... CUTEST. KID. EVER.
