Turning Twelve






This year's birthday was spent at Little A's favourite mountain getaway, and once again my parents joined us for the weekend. 

He's all about The Muppet Show these days, so I hunted down some toys on Ebay, and we made a trip to the post office parcel section to pick up the books his godmum sent from Finland (via Book Depository). 

Next year, this guy will be a teen! For now, summer fun continues, and we are discovering new places and new things as well as frequenting old favourite haunts. 

Crossfit is all the rage, as well as Ninja training. One such centre recently opened nearby, so we have given it a try, and will see about fitting it into his schedule as a regular after-school activity when fifth grade begins. 

A new indoor play area for older children also opened at one of the malls where I have a shop, so sometimes I take the little guy to work with me and leave him there for an hour or two before taking him for a late lunch. Only a few more weeks, and then it's on to sixth grade!
