Happy, If Exhausted
Aug. 28th, 2011 11:48 pmThis weekend, we've had my mum down for a visit for the first time in two years. (She's gone from travelling the world by herself when she was younger, to not wanting to leave her hometown much these days.) But she wanted to see Billy Elliot, so I convinced her to come down for a few days.
Saturday, I took her all over Toronto shoe shopping, and managed to score five pairs of shoes for her infamously narrow feet.
Today we saw the Billy Elliot, which in spite of my theatre snobbishness, I enjoyed a surprising amount.
We've also spent the past week getting our picks ready for the Toronto film fest, and the Sweetie and Ros dropped them off today. (They went to the big Abstract Expressionist show at the AGO whilst grandma and I were off at the theatre. Ros liked Rothko the best, which is awesome because he's one of my favourite painters too!)
On top of the visit, we're starting to get ready to move Le Ros from the daycare she's been at for over three years to the one in her school. It's going to make everyone's lives easier. Ros' old daycare escorted kids to kindergarten last year as a pilot, but decided not to this year. And even if they had, walking back and forth to the school every day pretty much exhausted the kids. But the staff at the old daycare are lovely, and have seen Ros through a lot, and we are going to miss them.
So tonight, the Sweetie and I prepared a treat for Ros' big leaving-the-daycare party:
