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!!!

Day 11

She's doing so good...

Bravo Manette!!

Then she took lot of books on the sofa,

put a blanket on her knees...

Mum, you can take your shower.

I'll be ok...

Then open air market by scooter and with sun glasses!

And after the siesta.....

?????

The HUUUUUUUGE CIRCUS!!!

Waowww!

Still too much for Amané so after 1 hour, we went out!

She hated the clowns: AFRAIIIIIIIIIIDDDD!!!

(not my pictures!!!)

She loved the horses and poneys,

the tigers jumping,

the 2 guys sliding on a table...

and even watched the DEAD WALL (motorcycles in a little ball)

that I was too afraid tolook at...........

Outside nature....

Les pâquerettes ça sent bon Amané??????????????!!!!!

Butterfly...

Coming back home, we had time

to make an Easter mobile....

Picture tomorrow!

For dinner she talked a lot about the circus

and before bath, she imitated the man on the bar

and the aerialist on the rope....Funny squirmings.!!!

Day 10

Those days Amané is reading me her books!

She's really good with

Boucles d'or!!

Then going to the open air market!!!

Yihaaa!!!

Run mum! Run!!

After siesta going to the Festival

Litterature for youngs...

Listenning to Kamishibai....

Same as in Japan!

Snack pause.....

And going back to the festival:

stories like puppets...

Amané really loved this:

she was singing, answering to questions...

Yu, c'était super! Manette n'était pas 

du tout timide....!!!!!

She was so sad when we had to say 

Thank you and bye bye.....!!!

Day 9

Before going to school Amané

had a so good time with Tomomi!!!

She couldn't stop laughing!!!

So when she had to say bye bye to her new friend,

she just cried, and cried..................

Poor Amané.....

Coming back from school she found some omiyagés from Tomomi:

origami tsuru, tulip drawing and a little bag...

She asked for her Ampaman origami

and decided to cut every little faces...

and put them in Tomomi's bag....

And during dinner she explained me that,

at school, Pierre gave her some kisses..............!

Lovely!!

Day 8

After school we went to the station to catch Tomomi

my friend from Tokyo!

We had an apple juice waiting....

"-Mum, you're my friend so you can sit next to me...

And I'm your friend so I can seat next to you..."

Tomomi's train arrived but no Tomomi inside...........???????

Amané thought to call her:

-Allo Tomomi...on est ici....tu es ou?

Then at home, my friend became instantly Amané's friend:

"-Tomomi come here! Tomomi do that! Tomomi do this!!!

Tomomi what are you doing? Tomomi please eat!

Tomorrow Tomomi is going to school with me!"
