Ta-daaa – 180 Days of Magic

Sleights of moment, waving the family wand

Ta-daaa

Ta-daaa – so exclaims my 2 ½ year old son when he is engaged in something wonderful – a magical sleight of moment. Relatively speaking it seems to happen quite often. This blog will echo the waving of wands, documenting months full of wonder for a 50 year-old dad on his first ever parental leave thanks to the support of his wife Mélanie and the birth of his six-month-old daughter, Nellie-Rose.

Today is day one and there were at least five or six audible “ta-daas”. Some were  associated with hockey and our role playing as stars on the team of teams, the most renowned professional franchise in the world, les Canadiens. Bravo is another exclamation de rigueur and each time I hear it coupled with “papa” I know that I have arrived – at the beginning of my life.
