And then the wheel fell off.....

The time for a baby carriage is almost past...  Nicole is near her 2nd bday. We do need a stroller, for those times when walking and resting go hand in hand, especially at Sherway Gardens. 

 We have a Quinny that collapses into a carry on bag for plane flights;  Delightfully, used all last summer in Europe. Stewardess' stowed away and returned the carrier with ease.

 Then this happened;

 THE front left wheel escaped.
Fell Off ( HOW) 

 ..and was lost at the Vaughan Mills Mall.  We searched high and low retracing our steps to no avail.  We now had a 3 wheeler.  I cannot fathom how the wheel with pin (shaft) escaped from under the carriage.

 We contacted Quinny on Twitter!

The staff at Quinny responded within 24 hours;   First Rate.

 Here's the update.  We procured a second Quinny.  We were so delighted with the first that the modest investment in a second for a few more years use is worthwhile.

 If you are at Vaughan Mills Mall and find a wheel under a stand at NIKE....  That was me.

The adventures of Dave and Nikki

Image
I stay home looking after my daughter. Her Mom is back at work; I am home with Nikki. These are our stories about staying home and keeping busy, all while living in a condo. Almost a year has passed. Our adventure this week was the purchase of an IKEA easel.  (White Board on One side and Chalk on the other)  Incredible!   We ditched a plant stand and installed the easel.  Doggie bed fits underneath.  Nikki is occupied and I get to have her beside me while I return calls, write posts and use my computers.   Big Hat tip to IKEA for design and cost.   What are your hacks to work at home?

Thank you Toronto Libraries

During 2017 we re-discovered the Toronto Public Library. So many complain about this [expense] investment in literacy. Nicole and I have had the pleasure to meet incredible staff at the Runnymede and Swansea libraries.  We attended a number of Toddlers classes that spark imagination and reading appreciation.  We were introduced to the puppets from FOLKMANIS. On every visit the library is a bustling center of activity, with internet users and music buffs sorting CD's.  I was especially impressed with the number of LAPTOPs that were in use, accessing the WIFI on location. Thank you to the staff and I look forward to the continuation of our journey to reading. Do you have a great experience story you would like to share?
