Day 17

We add coffee and vanilla to the game of smells:

Amané can racognize well coffee, vanilla and strawberry...

Still difficult for lemon and orange 

but she can match the pair easily!

Last time, we had a big box of games (form and colors) at the second hand shop....

What is the shape you feel with your hands?

The sun!!

Matching forms and 2 colors...

This one is her favorite...

We have to follow the color we pick...

Mum, I'll win!

I had to play 4 times.....!!!

Matching silhouette...

An other form and 2 colors..

After siesta we went to an exhibition...

MUM!! It's a castle!! A big tower, waoooooo!!

Interactiive exhibition about taste, smell, touch...

Match the same texture...

Listen to the sounds while cooking,

do you recognize them?

Nooooooooooo...........(!!!!!!!!!)

Can you recognize all the smells?

Nooooooooooooo..........!!!!

Touch, look at the form and color

and guess what is the fruit.........

Choose your 8 favorites foods:

she put everything in the basket!

All favorites!!

After we had a degustation of beverages and foods...

We had to find what was in them...Did we guess?

Noooooooooooooo..........!!!!!

Snack pause...

Coming back home, Amané　was really interested by 

Nathalie's letters books...

fffffffffffffffffffffff............

Amané is reading her books to me...

Of course she knows some of them by heart...

Cheating!!!

"Chuut, laissez passer la belette...."

Yu, j'ai une grosse vidéo sur ce sujet à t'envoyer...

Day 16

Amané made a nice basket at school for easter!!

And today, the game of smells!

She had to match 2 pots with same smell...

She was really good at it, better than me!

It was strawberry, lemon and orange...

But she found a: "different kinds of apples"........!!!

Tomorrow we'll add coffee, vinegar and vanilla...

Then she asked for Easter activities!

She did it scrupulously....

Look at this little tongue!!

2 big teeth....

2 eyes...

Let's dry it, tommorrow we'll finish it...

Because she,s got a new pot for her water

Since Amané has a music box in her room,

I allways listen to Peter and the Wolf!

But this afternoon she choosed african music...

and she ran for her jembé!1

Day 14

Those days, Amané doesn't hear well...

So this morning: doctor!

And again: ears infection.....

Poor Amané it never stops......

Hope everything will be ok after her surgery...

We went to Didi and Dada's house

to have a quiet siesta...

Hyacinth smells good!!

Feeling good!

Making a bouquet for Didi and Dada...

Nice one Amané!!

After siesta going to the second hand shop...

100 euros for a piano...!

and 5 euros for listening Cd at home!

She choosed to listen to Peter and the wolf...

and closed her ears when the wolf appeared...........!!!!

Day 13

Waking up, Amané asked for playing

with white beans!!!

At school, Ambroise asked her to play with him....

"Mané tu viens jouer avec moi?"

Bye bye mum!

Happy to see her in an other social relationship!

I went to take her out of school by bike...So happy!!

Snack in the tiny park closed our home...

and playing,

playing!

Is spring really here?

Day 12

After school

Amané could pass white beans from one dish to an other...

Too easy so I put a smaller one between the 2 others!

She was really good at it and loved it!

It's making a nice sound!!

At one point she said:

"-Mum, you can sit down on the sofa, and read a book.

I'm cooking dinner for you...."

(I think I heard this before....!!!!!!!!!!!)

Of course some beans fall down...

No problem: on her own, she took her brush and her spade,

and everything was clean!

Bravo Manette!!!
