First day of holidays

She was the actress

for one of my student movie

so when she heard the movie got

"jury's congratulations"

she was happy and proud !

We planed that she'll sleep 

at a friend house

but we stayed for dinner

and she didn't feel comfortable

so back home with a beautiful sunset.

Dad send us some pictures

of the Alps..

One with cows, so she replied to her dad:

creatinga n ew comics

eyes closed, listening to music,

dancing

jumping

Reading in Japanese Totoro

Reading Le Petit Nicolas

So hot this day

Concentrating on an animation

Watering all the plants of the garden

Cooking Didi's courgettes

Un apéro to celebrate first holidays day !

Next morning, playing,

searching for Totoro's melody

School last day

Amané's teacher wrote a kind message

about this year class.

I really feel that this group class is kind, gentle...

The teacher was thinking about skipping a grade for Amané

which means that she will lose those nice kids..

We'll see next year !!

Teacher's pictures of the picnic

the last day.

So hard Wednesday.....!!!

Morning we went to Martine's library

to choose lot of books and to chat a lot with her !

Then....because it was too hot outside

a wonderfull movie:

This movie could seem hard for kids but it just touched

what Amané has in her head those last months: 

worrying about death, 

worrying about growing old, 

worrying about becoming an adult, 

wishing to live in the nature by herself,

wishing to communicate with animals,

and facing new people with their differences...

So she adored this movie and she wants to watch it an other time.

She talked a lot about it.

And it inspired us: it was made by a daddy (director) with the mummy,

with no money, a simple camera, in a forest, they made the scenario (simple but so good)

 and film their daughter...

It's a wonderfull movie.

Then after a refreshing bath,

snack

Reading outside

Eating the first raspberry

Reading again

and dinner with Didi and Dada 

at a local bio market

So hard life Amané .......!!!!!!!!

Those last weeks

Daddy Yuta is away for one month,

so I took pictures with my phone to keep contact.

Here they are!

Always reading,

comics and novels (fan of Petit Nicolas those days)

Breakfast before kermess

Waiting for Didi and Dada 

before kermess

Playing sumo

Geoffroy is too kind

to play against Amané !!

She was really good at it !

Sunday afternoon

at Valentine's play with 12 others kids !

After dinner

telling a complete smurf story

After school Tuesday

so hot, ice is good

Once again, Wonderfull evaluation for Amané !

excellent year !

Bravo doudou!!!

After dinner, reading Petit Nicolas

She woke up at 6:30 am

I heard her little feet in the stairs...

She made a paper box

by herself !

And still lot of piano:

Menuet Bach, Bartok,

and all by herself Totoro

Kangrong's movie

One of my student, Kangrong

came this saturday to film Amané and I 

in our garden and kitchen.

She sent us one picture:

Fire men

Saturday with some of my students filming

Amané and me at home.

Evening at Mercedes parents's house

with Ismaël and June.

And Sunday,

the firemen showed everything to the kids.

How they do with a car crash

up on the red truck

driving it

Yuta learning gestures with save

Amané doing the model

Amané saving a big adult

posing with the cask

Making work the fire hose

with Ismaël

Visiting the trucks

and explaining everything inside

We also visited all the batiment,

it was really interesting.

But at the end of the day,

Amané was sad, 

because she just wanted to extinguish a fire

and not saving people near to death.

Her Wonderfull dream was broken.

8 years old.
