La marchande

With Miwako's cakes,

and Ticia fruits and vegetables

we could play well buy and sell...

First she arrived at my store by bike...

She wanted only cakes!

One euro please!

Then she came with her baby...

Again cakes...and one strawberry!

-I have no more money mum...

-Ok, you need to work...

-Ok! I'm selling!

Each time she invited me 

at her home for cooking and eating

what she bought...

Manette is ill

MAnette got fever...

The doc said she has an 'angine'

and very bad infection of the ears again....

Just playing quietly at home...

and doing some craft...

It was forbidden for me to do lego...

Just put all the towers together was allowed!

Et un merci à Henri et Martine!

Amané adore ce petit puzzle en ce moment!

Playing ball with a stick

First each one have to find a proper stick...

Then you have to dompt this stick...

First school's notebook

School gave one of Amané's notebook today!

It's the one for writings, with songs,

and little stories...

Amané choosed some pictures of her

and we wrote the story of each picture together.

Then we went to Didi and Dada's house

where Amané will stay until next afternoon.

Merci Didi Dada!

Didi can ride a bike...?...!!!...??...WEEEEEE!!

after school and siesta we went to Didi and Dada's house.

Dada found some old games (more than 30 years old I guess!).

Amané tried but it was difficult...

I,m sure next time it'll be ok!

Dada so patient to explain the puzzle...

After snack, let's go for a ride!

And what a surprise!

Didi joined us, on his bike!

Amané first really surprised, was sooooo happy to ride with her Didi!

Passing the way, we went to say hello

at Sabine and Roger's house.

Rainy Wednesday

Amané did a lot of work today!

Among finding the bigger, the smaller,

drawing lines, finding the same etc

she had to do some paintings

and tearing up (that's difficult for her) and sticking

sort colors

sort forms...

She also found a new way to read books.

So proud of herself!

And I had to sing while she was making piano...

In the afternoon, we went to see Grammy,

This little guy is strong!

Blue eyes, brown hair, appreciating his bath...

Mon tout doux Ylan looking  at a catterpillar:

I love this picture!!!

Look, same eyes as mum, same smile!

Then the 3 guys!

Colin is really different from Ylan baby:

it makes me more impatient to see him growing up!

He changed so much during one month!

Ylan is going to daynursery 2 days a week:

I'm sure the nannys there will love him!

Our 2 little beautiful princes...

Colin is already smiling!!!

Happy baby!

A wonderfull day!!!!

Motoko (one of my lovely student in Tokyo)

but so so nice to have them with us.

Thank you so much Motoko and Maki.
