One Two Three Four

Or just keep counting to 13, which is what Isabelle surprised us with last night. We have never forgetten the night several months ago when she just decided to count all the way up to 10 out of the blue, now she has moved past and into the teens!

The title is more of a reference to our night out at the National Arts Centre to see Feist in concert. It was the perfect idea many months ago when we bought the tickets, a Saturday night of great music sandwiched between our two birthdays. Now the night had finally arrived and we were excited yet somewhat anxious. As many of you know, we spend little time away from our little girl, so we actually had to surrender her bedtime routine to the capable hands of Aunties Renee and Shelley. We had no doubt she would cope easily, but we still headed off to have some fun without the princess in tow. And we did have lots of fun, of course with the obligatory intermission call to see how things were transpiring at home. Needless to say, no worries. Isabelle happily fell asleep shortly after checking "Mommy and Daddy come home soon?". So we headed back to our 2nd row seats (!) and saw a great show in a packed house, Feist showed off her great voice and her creative live show and we were happy to hear our favourite tunes in person, including 1-2-3-4, which we no longer remember the real words to, only the Sesame Street version!

We returned home to a quiet house and our little angel snoozing away...
