Good news! Baby started perking up last night! And Da-da was on tv again today! The first time on tv, he had to speak French and did VERY well. He has been in the newspaper too. He is quite the expert over here in his senior position and we couldn't be more excited for him! The best part of today was seeing Baby start to run around again!

To all of you experiencing the snowstorm back home, here is a quote for you. Daddy noticed that the tulips planted by Nonna and Nonno have started sprouting in our backyard, neighbours have planted their pansies and we have seen more than one crocus. It seems like a different world here. Baby is still sick today so we will stay put. Doctor suggested giving him a bit of coke. He is the first child we have ever met that doesn't like coke, can you believe it!? Here is the quote!

Baby has been sick for the last couple of days so we don't have much fun to write about. Poor little Baby, it is hard to see any baby suffering. Just hoping that he will feel better tomorrow.

We had our third Baby Time English class today and I have to tell you that I am really growing very fond of the children and their Moms and Baby is such a good helper by handing things out, waiting his turn patiently, clapping when I finish singing (he is my number one fan) and just being a real sweetheart. Right after we practise English, it's snack time and here is a picture of the group. They are a real bunch of cutie pies! They yell, "see you" when they leave!

New friends are great. Here is L trying to help Baby take his sweater off when we first arrived at a coffee morning yesterday.

We very much enjoyed this week's coffee morning as Baby had a better sleep than last week and there weren't any accidental flying shoes! Baby enjoyed playing with L and as soon as we arrived, L helped Baby take off his shoes and unzip his sweater. I will add a photo later. Very cute. Daddy is in Paris today but will get home in time for me to go for my massage. Will not join the women tonight for dinner out due to lingering cold. Smokey restaurants don't help the throat! Better get Baby to bed for nap!

We had a really fun weekend with steaks Friday night before shopping at Ikea, champagne and crepes on Saturday, Kangaroo Jack and The Transporter, running in the park on Sunday and catching up on relaxing in between! Sales are on so we also went to A.S. Adventure and bought some clothes! Baby loves his new train set and says choo choo all the time.
