Oh yeah. To keep the Peanut from eating all of your breakfast.

BigE Lost His First Tooth!

BigE has been working on his first loose tooth for a little while now. Turns out it finally came out the other day. Here's an awful pic when we showed Mama.

Here's how the boy looks now

Why rant when Jonathan Kay at the National Post says it so well ...

Giving Barack Obama the Nobel peace prize is ridiculous

Since the entire body of work for which Mr. Obama is being honoured consists of idealistic pronouncements, the Nobel prize committee was able to pick him without worrying that the choice could stir up controversy among umbraged minority groups, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, or the UN’s various institutional cheerleaders.

With this pick, the Nobel committee has declared itself to be a debating society — and it has given its shiny prize to the nice man who gave the best speech. It’s like those beauty pageants wherein the MC asks contestants what they would do to promote world peace. The best answer earns applause, flowers and a trophy. But no one expects the winner to actually go out in her tiara and ballroom gown and stop people from fighting.

Boy I hope that last sentence is proven wrong.

And McGuinty ...

Not all projects 'FIT' for Ontario green program

But to qualify, the authority requires that at least 40 per cent of the products and labour used to get the project up and running come from Ontario. The requirement is meant to encourage growth in green energy manufacturing in the province.

tBF Tip of the Day

Don't try to drive into Toronto at 4 pm.

There you have it. Pure genius. You'll move so slow even the GPS is having trouble registering a speed. Especially when your barely doubling the average walking speed.

Quote of the Day 81

BigE "Hey Dada is that picture tilted?"

Dada "Yeah, just a little bit. I can fix it. Hey wait a minute ... did you hit it with your soccer ball?"

BigE "Yeahhhh, I tried to fix it but I had trouble reaching"

I couldn't really get mad at that.

Quote of the Day 80

Dada "Come on BigE time to put on your jammies."

BigE "Hang on need to stretch first!"

Peanut's Parade Video

Peanut's Parade

Peanut took her first steps after church yesterday. She headed right to a group of ladies. Maybe it was just the direction she was heading. Maybe it was to show off and be the center of attention.

Video to follow later tonight.
