One of my favourite book series is Babymouse! The main character is Babymouse! The mean one is named FurryPaws (she’s what they call ‘princess’). In every book, Babymouse sees FurryPaws do something very well. Babymouse wants to do it right, too, but she never does it right until her last try. FurryPaws gets angry and even gets hurt because of the choices she makes!
oh yah Babymouse is a girl book. I have read ‘Queen of the World’, ‘Mad Scientist’, ‘Babymouse Heartbreaker’ and ‘Extreme Babymouse’. My favourite one is ‘Extreme Babymouse’ because she listens to her inner voice (as per her snowboard teacher’s advice). And, it’s always good to listen to your inner voice so you do the right thing. I like the series because you are like a fly on the wall(insert Jack’s note: It’s called Third Person).

While we were in Victoria, we decided to take the kids to Wild Play. We saw the flyer for it on the ferry from Vancouver and the kids begged us to take them there. And, you know what…it was pretty awesome. Georgia did have issue with it and it took her awhile to gather up her courage and face down her fears, but when she did she was so proud of herself. Jack begged us to go back…which we tried to the next day, but we misunderstood the rules…so to clarify for anyone who might find themselves with a small child wanting to go further than the kid route…you can be a minimum of 7 years old, BUT(and this is a very big but) you have to be able to reach higher than a certain spot. And, our very tall 9 year old son only reached a few inches above said spot. Soooo…my only complaint would be that I think they should change the minimum age to something a bit more realistic. I don’t know any 7 year olds who are reaching that high. Just saying…cause there were tears. Of course, that is only because they loved it sooo sooo sooo much. If you are in BC, check this place out. Worth the price of admission.
