I can barely manage a half Windsor, and that only with a diagram and a few tries. The 7yo has an adult tie and is working his way through all the knots on tie-a-tie.net. Even the crazy ones. It all looks like magic to me.

Hey Canadian friends, where can I (reliably) find out more about Winnipeg or Newfoundland (St. John's)? I know they're very different just doing a lot of reading.

I was not prepared for the ‘shopping for clothes in the adult section’ part of parenting. The large 9yo is now the size of the absolute smallest men’s clothes.

Sir, a second orange wave has hit Quebec.

Get the kids piano lessons, sure , why not, that’ll be fun. No one ever told you how stupendously adorable a 7yo playing the piano at 8am would be. With two hands! Simple chords! Soooo cute.
