The Habs have just scored in double OT to take the win 6-5 and now a 2-0 lead in the series vs the Carolina Hurricanes. The Habs have come into the playoffs red hot and are definitely a scary 7th seed to contend with.  Courtesy of Ryder, who leads the team in goals this season, they are in a great position taking 2 games on the road.

Speaking of Consistency….
This past weekend, due to consistent routine we’re building with Olivia, I’ve noticed that Treehouse and Family stations also follow a routine. This is obviously intentional. Nonetheless, I am already sick of the following shows:
- Blues Clues
- Big Comfy Couch
- Dora
- That stupid red-headed kid (No not you Chris): “Daniel Cook”
So, out of sheer annoyance, and since Olivia is hardly every watching the TV anyway, I flipped it to Family in time to catch “Spiderman” on both Saturday and Sunday. Now that is quality cartoonage! I ask you this, how did they make those funky sounds? You know, those different sounds made when Spidey flings his webby gook from his wrists? Or whenever Spidey clobbers or is clobbered by a villain? I can’t find anywhere on the web that describes how the sound effects were made for that show. Maybe I should ask “Smilin’ Stan Lee” (check out the credits at the end of the show sometime 😉 ).
Despite the fact, or maybe because of the fact that the creators loved to use the same footage over and over and over and over for different episodes, this show is great! Spidey is so sarcastic it makes me laugh. And have you looked closely at J.J. Jameson? Is that a little Hitler moustache he’s sporting?
If you haven’t watched it lately, shame on you! You best check your schedule for the next showing.
Consistency is key
Last Saturday was officially the 1st daddy daughter day! Sonia was off on a well-deserved personal day so I had the honour of sharing my day with Olivia: from 8:30 to 5:30!
What’s the #1 thing I needed to be sure of? Consistency. Sonia has educated me (as well as “The Baby Whisperer”) that babies are creatures of habit. They need routine and if/when at all possible, do not stray from that routine. Simply put, I needed to follow the E.A.S.Y. routine (Eat, Activity, Sleep and then Your time). With that in mind, it turned out to be far from the crazy day I thought it was going to be. In fact, as you all would have likely suspected, we had a wonderful day.
