Yesterday Da-da was on tv again! The first time, he had to speak French and did an excellent job. He has also been in the newspaper. He is really doing well in this senior position over here! Baby is feeling a little bit better today but still not 100%. The doctor said it could take at least a week and it looks like this is going to be true.



Now for some nice quotes from Nonna!



"Life's precious moments have no value unless shared."

"You can't spread sunshine around without getting some of it on yourself."

Here is Baby with some other kids at Baby Time. What is Baby Time? It is a class that I teach in my home once a week. I teach English to little people and their Moms and we enjoy music, games, activities and crafts. I introduce them to the alphabet, numbers, colours and more. So if anyone has any great games etc. please send them my way. Thank you!

Baby Time was very hard yesterday as my own Baby was so under the weather and I felt he should have been in bed. But he had just woken up from a nap so I thought it would have worked out okay. I have never seen him sick like this before. He is asleep now and I am hoping that another day at home will help him. We did not go to French library today either or for lunch after with friends. I don't care about any of that stuff, I just want my jolly little guy back! We still try to have some amusement though and that has to do with trains. Do you know the minute he wakes up, he says, "choo choo" and wants to read his Thomas the Tank Engine book which is beside our bed. Then when we come upstairs, he says, "t, t" which means "tv" and he hands me the controls and wants me to put on the Thomas video. Baby really loves trains and as soon as Da-da gets home, they sit on the floor and play with Baby's train.

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!
