Nantes, Christhmas...mum came back!

Amané and Yuta came to visit me

in Nantes: they ride tram, boat tram...

went to café...

wonderfull merrygoland

in the christhmas market 

where I was working everyday...

In this picture we can see my "shop"...

No customers at this time...!!!

They also saw the Nantes elephant...

Coming back home they choosed a christhmas tree

with Didi and Dada...

Each year we buy it from the same guy...

Can you find Didi Rémy?

and decorated it 

with Didi and Dada...

Choosing the most beautiful ball..

Then, the most wonderfull morning of the year!!

Full of presents in the 3 houses:

at home, at Didi and Dada's place,

at Sabine and Roger's place!

Then mum came back, after 5 weeks away!

We went to Bordeaux to

meet Marc, Coco and Arsène...

The 2 kids (Arsène is 5 y old) are enjoying playing together...

Coming back home,

Amané choosed the same moto as Ylan!!!

Didi and Dada were there

and we had a hot chocolate in a cafe after this ride!

Amané received lot of presents from Japan...

Here from Nagaosa's farm!

I don't know what she enjoyed the most:

the card with the pictures of her 3 cousins ....

('DAISHAN.....KANNSHAN....HANASHAN...')

or the gift?

The gift from the farm is a game with hiragana...

"ONLY PAPA YUTA PLAY WITH ME! NO MAMAN!"

She stopped me when I'm trying to speak or sing in japanese,

and I can't even play or read japanese stuff....

ONLY DADDY!

Allways full of joy,

enjoying school a lot,

Amané and Popochan are all right!

Especially if there are some puzzles to do...

Five weeks without Maman: 2. Bus Trip

Aurèle has left to Nantes to work in Christmas market.

Till the end of December, Amané spends 5 weeks without her maman.

How it passes..?

Everyday on the way to and from the school, she sees busses in the street.

But she had never ride on them.

What is bus?

What and who are inside?

How we ride?

Where it goes?

Well, why not take a ride once for joy then...

We carefully chose a line: line 3 direction Magnac.

Waiting at the stop: very natural,

as if she is used to it.

Luckily got such a gorgeous seat.

What an excitement! 

Not only the front view of the street, but the scene and people inside the bus behind her also interesting...

20 minutes of dream moment.

At the terminal.

"It is my first bus"- very proud of it.

Let's have a walk around...

... A cat!

"Non, non, you should not climb onto a car, cat"

The beautiful riverside of the river Magnac. 

The way back home too, we took a ride in the bus.

In evening, even on the same route, the view changes totally.

with the head-lights of other vehicles.

Even more fantastic!  

Can we keep such a wonderful experience

without telling to anybody?

No way.

Getting off the bus near home, 

Amané took a phone to call somebody whom Papa Yuta doesn't know.

Five weeks without Maman: 1.Physical Training

Aurèle has left to Nantes to work in Christmas market.

Till the end of December, Amané spends 5 weeks without her maman.

How it passes..?

The activity that Papa Yuta often proposes is something physical in outdoor. 

Amané loves it, especially with her scooter (trottinette).

We go around every where...

   

Still feared by animals (except cats and birds).

Approaching to the farm, Amané first calls them who were on the other side of the field.

But once they come close to the fence, she hurries away onto her scooter and leaves... 

Patrol in the city..

(This day we saw an exposition of vintage cars in the square ocasionally)  

Even when it's freezing cold...  

Papa and Maman's friend Eric is Amané's friend, too..

Even when it rains.. 

Look at the grand circle which Amané drew with the scooter's wheel.  

Amané doesn't forget pedaling, of course... 

Even without wheels..

Just after getting out from the swimming pool.

Now Amané can bath in the pool (about 1.3m depth) without arm-buoy.

She also has learned keeping her mouth closed under the water.

(These days she is very fond of watching video of dolphins and whales..)  

Francojapanese day!

This sunday we met japanese families

and francojapanese families living around...

Here Amané and Ivuki (4 y old).

There were too many people!

But it was nice to be surrounded by japanese!

Merrygoland with Ylan

Papa Yuta, Amané

Ylan, Gaëllou and Colin went to the merrygo land park!

Driving the clown...

Gaëllou the moto, Ylan the crocodile...

Then moto and

helicopter for Ylan!
