parenting | Lessons from my daughter

We will eat pizza for at least a week!

When I saw the flyer earlier today, I was curious as to the authenticity of a 24″ x 24″ pizza.

Could they really sell a pizza that big? Do they make bags that big to keep them warm?

Well…

They don’t make the bags that big, it arrived wrapped in a throw like the one we have on the couch!

See the tiny pizza on the right? That’s a 12″

We will eat pizza for at least a week but now I can say that I have ordered one huge pizza and it arrived in a cardboard box wrapped in a throw!

Where am I going with that?

Nowhere really except it made me think of the food Emily orders when we eat out.

When she feels for amazing breakfast and huge dessert this is what it looks like!

Now you have it!

The bigger the better!

That’s probably why I ordered the pizza… 🙂

I love this time of year.

Fall is beautiful, the leaves are turning all kinds of pretty red and yellow shades.

The weather is cool, sometime border line cold.

It’s perfect weather to be cooking up a feast.

It’s the perfect time to go apple picking.

My friend Lise is a photographer. She takes amazing pictures of things and places…. I am sure there is a word for that type of picture, I just don’t know. what it is. (Remember, my mother tongue is French, there are English words I still don’t know) Currently, she’s working on adding people to her repertoire so I offered up Emily as a subject :).

We were meeting at the Belliveau Orchard right after lunch today. It was my first visit there and Emily had been once before with school.

We got there at 12:30

The apple picking season is short so this was a busy place today with a 22 Celsius weather.

It took us a good half hour to make it through the gate. We stood in line and watch the kids play on the hay bales.

Emily didn’t ask to go play with them. Too many kids and a whole lot of opportunities to get hurt. It’s amazing how I now see this… I guess that’s a perk of being a parent of a child with mobility challenges.

They have a corn maze there too but that didn’t attract us so off we went to pick some apple.

Emily was listening to Lise quite well.

This was our way in the orchard.

My beautiful daughter played the role of model really well for Lise.

I got to take some pictures too.

We even managed to convince Emily to lay down in the orchard. Now considering her lack of desire to even walk bare feet on grass… to have her accept to do this was quite an accomplishment.
