Since 2 days now I'm quite ill...
In french we say, angine....!
I have to stay in bed because I feel so weak!!!

Bad timing!!!!!!!


Yesterday night we went to
the nanny's party...
There were the 2 other kids, Teru and Sana, and Kasumi also...
All with their parents!

Kids made a song, dancing,
then we all ate together (well, Amané was the only kid eating!!!!!)
and then we sent to the sky some wishes
in oxygen balloons full of lavender seeds...!


Then this afternoon we went to Nobuya and Hitomi's place....
We met all the Arima's family and ate a lot!

And tonight I saw that pictures
of our smiling little prince!!!

Elles sont super chouettes,

Des bisous plein vous!!!

Today Hitomi and Nobuya went to encourage
Daichin who is alone for 6 months at the hospital.



So I canceled my lessons....
But 6 of my students came to help me
to take care of Amané!!!



And they really did it!!!!!
Everyone took care of her!
I could really enjoy all the afternoon!



I was also really proud of Amané
who accepted to give hand, to make dako,
to play and listen stories with new people!






She also didn't ask for eating
while we ate all day long
french delicious foods!!!!!



Merci Mané!

One student took many pictures
so I will upload more after....




Merci Hideto, Hideki, Sachie,
Shoko, Mutsuko Takako et Maki!!!!

Amané likes so much walking outside,



that she allways tries to put her shoes by herself......


This morning, while I was making coffee,
a huge laugh came from the corridor.....
WHAT???????


You can put your shoes by yourself!!!!!!!!!

Bravo Manette!!!!!



I'm sorry because those shoes will not be used anymore....
They are too smooth for kids feet.......
