I said Amané that we have to take pictures... and she only did stuff like that with her hands......????? Why Amané?

Because of Alex's book!!! Alex created apicture book with a school....
She offered this book to Amané to learn the alphabet....

I told Amané that those kids took pictures themselves....

So Amané did the same!

N.....like NA!

We can understand each other better and better....

Funny you!

Well well well... Sorry that I didn't take pictures last week.... We did lot of things: going to see Axel, to Caro's paradise, to Marc and Coco's castle, to meet Gaëlle and her wonderfull belly...etc... Amané is evolving quickly... She's asking more and more for the pot, she went to the swimming pool, she can drive alone her scooter, and also her bike, she can speak a little bit more (little sentences)...

And tonight a big present!
Pictures of our Prince Ylan!

Walking with Dada...

"Amané's Only-Papa Week" 6th day.

Hot as yesterday, Amané spends the afternoon again with Axel.

Axel is 2 years elder than Amané.
Each time Amané plays with Axel, she carbon copies what he does, then learns to do.

Sometime, what she learn is what her parents does not necessary want her to learn...

"Amané's Only-Papa Week" 5th day.

A very hot day, like in summer...

In the end of afternoon, Amané visits a neighbor.

He, Axel, is difinitely Amané's first hero.

Or her first idol? Or her first boyfriend?

Whatever, a great luck of Amané to have such a fantastic neighbor!

"Amané's Only-Papa Week" 4th day.

Amané spent the day with Dada Claire and Didi Rémy.
We thank you, Dada et Didi !

Back at home, Amané helped Papa Yuta cooking.
Papa Yuta cut the vegetables: les carrottes (にんじん), les patates (じゃがいも), les poireau (ねぎ), les choux chinoise (はくさい), et Amané put them into the pot.
While waiting them cooked, Amané watched the raod construction from the balcony.
Ah, all those giant, noisy, brutal and beautiful work vehicles !

Now ready is the vegetable soup..
"Itadakimasu" (the chant before eating for thanking foods and the person who cooks).

"Myam.. "

"... it isn't too bad."

"Mmm... Papa, even more delicious when we eat with hands, you know that, huh?"

"This is the joy..."

"D'autre !"(おかわり) ... one of the best pronounced phrases of Amané.

(Papa) "Amané, you have just finished 2 bowls. Papa thinks it's enough for you..."
(Amané) "D'autre !"(おかわり)

"Amané's Only-Papa Week" 3rd day.
Spending half a day at an ancient farmer's house located 50km away from Angouleme (A property of the father of Eric, Papa/Maman's friend).

Eric's wild cooking for lunch: potate, mushroom, onion, garlic.

Unknown place, unknow food... whatever, Amané eats well. Myam...

After lunch, Eric starts to exercise his electric guitar. Its grunge sound fears a lot Amané.
Whisper of a witch? Brrr...

So we escape from the house, into the garden...

and look for the snails (les escargos)!

"Amané's Only-Papa Week" 2nd day.

Going to the nearby supermarket.
On her back is her favorite bag...

Yes, Josy, it's the bag you gave to Amané for her birthday.

What's inside her bag?

- A shell of snail (une coquille de l'escargot)!

While Papa Yuta prepares lunch, she spend a long time for reading the picture books...

on the potty!

Maybe she eats too much with Papa.

Maman Aurèle has left for one week vacance this afternoon.
For the first time Amané is to spend such a long time without her maman.
What's going to happen? Will she be all right only with Papa Yuta ?

Well, actually the 1st day passed very well.
She understands the situation, doesn't look for Maman, lets Papa does everything for Maman's place.
Papa Yuta is so impressed and proud of Amané!
