Jolis enfants

Lila is just about to be two years old and Nandu starting school in a few weeks, and I am writing less and less.

So here are just a few facts I don't want to forget.

  • When Nandu was 2 and a half, he would call Barnabé, the cat of my mum, Bonne année. This was especially nice, since it was around New Year.
  • Lila is just fierce. She bites, she hits, she climbs on anything she can think of, and she does everything she possibly can by herself. We obviously have to focus on helping her grow up into a socially acceptable human being, but it is just hilarious to see.
  • Nandu on the other hand, is his usual, hyper reasonable self. Don't ever tell him he might break something or he will not dare touching it. Don't tell him to be careful or he won't try anything. This also means that you can send him with a jug full of water to the kitchen, or to ask him to put his plate in the dishwasher and he'll do it perfectly.
  • Nandu is speaking in English more and more and Lila is adding words to her vocabulary every day. They are playing with each other quite well now, and I really wonder in which language it will happen.

Morning Yoga



I love this video (despite the poor image quality) for a few reasons. It's a nice interactions between Nandu and Lila. Nandu is speaking in English and in French. You can hear Lila's voice quite well. And they are just so adorable together...

Joyeux anniversaire ma Lila

Happy birthday my little girl, here are just a few pictures of your birthday. MamiJo and Grand-Papa were here to celebrate, and so were Ania, Ambroise, Mariko, Ulrike and Emmanuel. As usual, I do not post pictures of other people kids on the blog so if you want to see the pictures you'll have to go look for them in the photo album I am making right now.
We had a great time, you like Ulrike's pain d'épice the best and enjoy splashing by the kid's pool. You don't walk just yet, but you really want to and it's fun to watch you try. I love you my little girl.

Same spot, exactly one year later
Nandu happy to help making the cakes
Let's blow that candle

And eat more cakes

Not bad for a first

Livre de références

Nandu: C'est quoi ça? (Me montrant un animal un plastique)
Moi: Un dromadaire, parce qu'il a deux bosses.
Nandu: Non... et va dans sa chambre.
Nandu de retour
Nandu: Regarde Maman, dans Barbapapa le dromadaire il a une bosse.


Première fois que Nandu me montre que j'ai tort avec un livre à l'appui!

Grammaire de Nandu

Nandu: Il y a beaucoup de chevals
Moi: De chevaux
Nandu: de chevals
Moi: Quand il y en a beaucoup on dit des chevaux
Nandu: et quand il y en a trois
Moi: Aussi
Nandu: Et quand il y en a deux
Moi: Aussi
Nandu: Mais maman, deux ce n'est pas beaucoup.


Trois ans et trois mois... va falloir que je raffine mes explications de grammaire!

Vacances à Pécha




Mots de Nandu

Nandu is at the age where he tries to make sense of everything. Before I forget here are a few ones. (In French because they are impossible to translate).

Dans un passage de Pierre et le Loup, on parle de Pierre qui fait un noeud coulant pour attraper le loup. Nandu est sûr que le loup a le nez qui coule.

Chez le pédiatre, il y a une petite cabane dans la salle d'attente. Nandu est donc convaincu que l'on parle de salle de la tente et pas de salle d'attente.

De manière plus général, c'est juste un bonheur de l'écouter réfléchir, il fait preuve d'une logique à toute épreuve qui me fait mourir de rire, et il se raconte des histoires en permanence.

Matching colors

Colors rarely match in our house. So when it happens, we celebrate.
