On the weekend I had the opportunity to participate in the launch of a new children’s store, called La Compagnie Des Petits. This cool children’s clothing store has been around in Europe for years, but the first North American location just opened this weekend at the Bramalea City Centre in Brampton.

My six year old son Nicholas was invited to model some of the clothes (he loved his outfit – judging by the fact that he refused to take it off for 48 hours afterwards). I’m not sure if I was pleased or not that he seemed quite comfortable with the flashbulbs and attention. Is there room in my family for two attention seekers? I tried shoving my free book draw poster in front of his smiling face as the photographers snapped away, but they seemed to prefer him over me.

We also had the chance to meet the mayor of Brampton, Susan Fennell, who had the “coolest necklace” according to Nic, and who was nice enough to let him help cut the ribbon.

Check out the store if you live in the area – and enter the book draw!
