top o the morning!

Three reasons to be happy today:

• The city has reinstated full plastic recycling and lawn garbage pickup, after one of the biggest kerfuffles ever seen in Ottawa municipal politics history.
  
• Justin finished his "paper games" book, and ended it by writing his own name, needing only to be prompted at the end (me: "J-U-S-T-...?" him: "I!"::writes it down). For a boy who two months ago was having difficulty drawing a line from one dot to another, this is incredible.
  
• Going to a picnic today.
