Sammy Does the Lunch Circuit

T’is been quite the action packed week for the little man having wined and dined all around the downtown core. Monday we met up with Dad and then Tuesday we trekked to Queen West to meet up with Auntie Mo for long overdue catch up at Teroni over antipasto and pizza. Sammy showed some serious restraint by taking a pass at all of the yummy pizza and pasta offerings in favour of his bottle. The little man sparked some serious stroller envy amongst the yuppie Queen West babies cruising around in his Cameleon. Given his maman’s less than stellar driving record, the Little Man has been most patient and brave to be chauffeured by his mom all around town in his fabulously fly stroller.

Downtown Dining Date with Daddy

Liquid Lunch with the Ladies

Thursday we punked off our weekly date in The Beach in favour of strolling along the Danforth for a granola outing to Grassroots with Auntie Mandy came over for a long overdue visit. We trekked along the Danforth so we could scout out the latest organic sweat shop free baby clothing offerings at Grassroots.

Sam Man finished off his week by making a return trip down to Queen Street to visit his social activist papa who was volunteering at the Car Free Day festivities. The Wee Wun did his part in minimizing his carbon footprint by taking transit and chugging around in his emission free stroller. Sammy then led the crew to Mister Greenjeans to unwind over a few cold bottles before heading out to visit Uncle Mikey at CBC. There has been no lack of fanfare and publicity over the Little Lad on the part of Uncle Mikey amongst family, friends, colleagues...or just about anybody. Upon entering the CBC building, Tiny Timbit was showered with adoration and praise by his huge and growing fan base at the CBC. Uncle Mikey led us on a quick tour around the studios and newsrooms to meet his colleagues and watch the news roll in. Watch out Peter Mansbridge...Sam Man was eagerly eyeing up the Chief Anchor chair. Sam was most impressed with his tour of Uncle Mikey’s cubicle which was plastered with timbit glam shots. After the huge downtown jaunt, we headed home to meet up with Pops and Martha for a catch up and to rake in some more gifts from more Montreal fans. The terribly tired Timbit then retired to bed to rest up for his weekend visitors.

CBC's Poster Child

Saturday morning , the next round of Sam Fans flooded through the gates to visit the Wee Wun. Grandma and Grandpa trekked in from St. Catharines for an early sneak peak bonding session before the arrival of the Kilyk Krew. As per usual, the Sammy suffered NO lack of attention and was doted over by cuzzies Katie, Courtney, and Jack and Kelly and Bob. Proud Patriach Pat and Mmmarvelous Matriarch Becky manned the ship whilst we ‘kids’ fled to Queen Street for a bit o’ shopping and some eats. Sammy surprisingly suffered zero separation anxiety from his parents having been surrounded by his crew of doting fans for the afternoon. Being the youngest grandchild on his papa’s side, Sam has managed to score some wicked new toys and gadgets from his cousins. Jack kindly introduced the Wee Wun to his CHA CHING windfall of Bob the Builder sets and Tinker Toys that he had inherited from his cousins. The Little Lad now has grand aspirations of a career in architecture.

After an action packed agenda last week, Tiny Timbit is laying low for a Lazy Hazy Sunday to rejuvenate for next week’s thrills and spills.
