me & gee: Mediocre or Magnificent?
http://rkpay.blogspot.com/2010/07/mediocre-or-magnificent.html
Wednesday, July 7, 2010. A friend of mine posted this. Article on Facebook. I think it's a little extreme but it's certianly a good read. I'm wholly on-board with the Free Range Kids. July 8, 2010 at 12:44 PM. Wow, very interesting topic. July 9, 2010 at 12:10 AM. Not sure if this is entirely related, but for some reason it felt like a nice rebuttal to Wentes article:. Http:/ scienceblogs.com/casaubonsbook/2010/07/myths of incompetence.php. July 9, 2010 at 8:45 AM. Going to an extreme! Why not go after s...

http://rkpay.blogspot.com/2009/05/art-prodigy.html
Tuesday, May 26, 2009. 8221; “That’s interesting! 8221; and “Tell me more.” Today I decided to go for the gusto and attempt some more meaningful dialogue. We went out this afternoon and saw the new exhibitions at the MacKenzie Art Gallery. Our conversation in the car on the way home went a little something like this:. What did you think of the work we saw today at the gallery Gaia-bear? I agree. I was thinking about that too and. Umm mama, I wasn’t quite finished. Oh Of course. Sorry. She’s napping...

Monday, October 12, 2009. So I know this is just another painfully clever gimmick from the marketing geniuses at Volkswagen (or rather DDB Stockholm) but seriously. SERIOUSLY. it is awesome. Mission accomplished VW. You sick bastards. PS I also think this whole “Fun Theory” business, while clearly having an agenda, is an interesting social experiment resulting in some fantastic food for thought. Discuss. Links to this post.

me & gee: Art Prodigy (Proof)
http://rkpay.blogspot.com/2010/06/art-prodigy-proof.html
Friday, June 25, 2010. I’ve talked before of my daughter as a budding artistic genius here. Still, I’ve done so with my tongue planted fairly firmly in cheek. Now that she’s actually started creating art it’s a whole new ballgame. Take, for example, the following drawing, created by Gaia in Mid-May 2010. Notice her choice dark, muted colour palette of browns, slate blues and greys? See how her lines vibrate with raw anger in their sharp, staccato placement across the page? My daughter is a true artistic ...

me & gee: Art Prodigy (Blow Your House In)
http://rkpay.blogspot.com/2009/09/art-prodigy-blow-your-house-in.html
Wednesday, September 16, 2009. Art Prodigy (Blow Your House In). If you're a regular here you might remember this. Well, Gaia and I spent this morning at the MacKenzie Art Gallery. And as always she came home with a lot to say. Perhaps I need not state the obvious but come on, clearly she's an artistic genius. Foisting my dreams on my child - who me? Mama, I wanted to talk to you about the exhibition we saw today if I may. Of course. Did you enjoy it? Was it the faces? They are a little scary. I also enj...

Monday, June 28, 2010. Report Card (Part I). Have I mentioned how much I love the daycare G goes to? After I put one ponytail in Gaia's hair she asked for more, so I put another one in her hair and she asked for more again. I put a third ponytail in her hair and Gaia said more again, but she had no more hair! In other news I’m kind of obsessed with the new tea place. In the mall. Try the Mojito. Tell ‘em Risa sent you.

me & gee: February 2009
http://rkpay.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 12, 2009. A Rose by Any Other Name. I found the concept of naming children fascinating. The power! The sheer fun of combing through baby name books! It was like a drug and I was hooked. What if I didn’t realise possible associations or rhyming words? What if I offered up a smart kid name and ended up birthing a jock? The possibilities for disaster were endless. Then I realised, before I got too far ahead of myself I should probably talk to Jose. The Baby Name Bible. Links to this post.

me & gee: Misty Watercolour Memories
http://rkpay.blogspot.com/2010/06/misty-watercolour-memories.html
Saturday, June 26, 2010. Two years ago today JM and I were celebrating our half-birthday in Barcelona. I was clean, I had makeup on and I was drinking beer in the streets. Later that night my girl was conceived. Currently it is 8:00am on Saturday morning and she’s throwing a patented monster tantrum because I won’t let her watch her Baby Einstein World Music. DVD I'm forced to make this decision because a month ago she broke the DVD player. Did I mention I was up no less than eight times last night?
