Milestone my What to Expect book seemed to miss

Reid has long been obsessed with bubble gum. I blame it on Aunt Karin and her bubble-blowing habits. Until the last few days, though, Reid has employed a chew-chew-swallow technique on those rare occasions that she has been allowed gum. There was that time that she tried to blow a bubble but spit the gum across the porch instead…  Just recently, though, I’ve discovered that Reid will chew and chew her gum. On Saturday the nice lady at Costco gave each of us a stick of Trident gum in some unmemorable flavour just before we got into the checkout line. I popped the whole piece in my mouth and reminded Reid that she needed to chew but not swallow and she nodded. When I was putting her into her car seat, Reid was still clutching half of her stick of gum and chewing on the other half. We drove home, unloaded and put away our groceries and then Ken made her throw the gum away before coming to the table for lunch. I was tempted to say, “No, let’s save it. It’s the first piece of gum that she chewed without swallowing.” (No, I wasn’t quite that sentimental but I’m sure that all of the piles of stuff around my house make more sense now.) She’s growing up, my little Reid, in many ways.

As a small digression: Where is my latest What to Expect book anyway? I remember looking at it when Reid was 2 for something or other.  Does it even cover girls who are 3 AND A HALF? I know that I read the pregnancy and baby versions cover to cover, along with the Mother of All Pregnancy and Mother of All Baby books, not to mention the Girlfriend’s Guides for the same periods while I was still pregnant. Once I had a kid, I was too busy parenting to read about how to do it.

    Hi, Barbara,

    I’m a Brazilian journalist doing a few articles about Canada to a Brazilian tourism magazine. One of this articles is about Upper Canada Village, and I have seen at your blog that you have already been there. So, once I need some characters to write my article, I would like to know if you could tell me a little bit more about you and your experience there: how is it like to walk through the streets of an old 1860 village? Why do you thing it is interesting? Which was the most impressive thing that you saw during your visit? etc… Would it be possible?

    Thank you for your attention
