For the past week, Zacharie has been speaking.
His first word?  “Hi!” - complete with a wave and smile.
He does it a lot.  Everytime I arrive at daycare to drop him off, he starts in the car and chats and waves the whole way into the room.
Everytime the phone rings at daycare, he turns and faces the phone and waves and says “Hi!”
You think I could catch any of this on video?  Nope.  Been trying for a week, but it’s official.  It’s a word, it’s used in context and he repeats it.
I’ve got a happy, cheerful son who is happy to greet everyone he meets.
“Hi!”
The very sad thing to me is I’ve been saying “Bonjour” to him consistently since he was a day old.  I’ve said it fast and slow and hundreds of times a day, trying to get him to repeat it.  But he says “Hi!”  
Even when I say “Bonjour” to him, he pauses, waves, and says “Hi!”
I’m just telling everyone he’s good at translating.

						Need tickets to Madonna in Vancouver? Go to LA
				
Posted by: buzz in music,  travel				

			

			
Madonna’s first ever concert in Vancouver is set for October 30 at BC Place.  So anticipated is the show, nearly 50 000 tickets sold out in 30 minutes.
50 000 fans didnt get the tickets, immediately after the tickets were sold, dozens of them were popping up on Craigslist for well above the original $165ish sale price.  If you still need tickets to the show, don’t pay the inflated scalper prices, use that extra cash to buy a plane ticket and head to Los Angeles, where ticket sales aren’t as hot.
Big sales around the world for the Material Girl’s upcoming “Sticky & Sweet” tour have been overshadowed in music industry circles by chatter about the large number of tickets still available for a key stop in Los Angeles in November and softer-than-expected sales of her latest album “Hard Candy.”
But just over half of the 43,000 seats available for a Nov. 6 date at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium - 27,000 tickets in all - have been sold in their first three weeks of availability, raising red flags about the limits of US demand for the 49-year-old Madonna at this stage of her career. [new york post]
Madonna’s new album may not be as good as her last album (I think Confessions was the best of her career), but a Madonna concert is a Madonna concert, and if you’ve been Madonna-less in the great white north for nearly 30 years, get yourself south to see the show.
