It's a bit hard to see, if you haven't been in our apartment before, but they'd pulled their three little chairs over to the old bench, lined them up on top & then climbed up with a book...Later, as they ate their organic raspberry cookies for dessert, Tomi was found kindly offering some to his beloved Teddy:
And still later, as we headed out and about:
I'd forgotten to close the terrace umbrella. The boys waited by the elevator as I ran back into the house & out to the offending umbrella - and here they are, the little rascals, looking out towards the terrace & trying to figure out what's going on beyond their baseball cap bills...Last night, Jean-Philippe came in from work to find Tomi "reading" on the couch. When he saw his papa, he began explaining the story to him in more complex (French) sentences, the likes of which we'd never heard before from either of the boys. It took us an extra half-second to realise what he was saying, get over our surprise, and then to register: AH! Another language hurdle is being cleared!
We went with friends to La Ciboulette, a restaurant just down the street which we've been meaning to try out for a couple of years, now. Delicious! & great atmosphere. I'm hoping we'll have time to get there with my parents when they're here at the end of the month...
The big (well, getting bigger & bigger) topic of discussion was Laurence's belly, which we'd got a good gander of the night before. Three months along! Laurence & Guillaume are ecstatic - and so are the rest of us!
