Noël & Baptême / Jul og Dåp

Desperate houswife

Yesterday was a fun but stressful day for my mum. Isabel was coming for lunch with Rufus who is the same age as me and Rose who is two. I have very good influence on my mum. For instance, I make her moore organized, and she actually prepared almost everything for the lunch the day before - lasagna. Ten minutes before the guests were coming, she took it out of the fridge and put it on top of the stove. She wanted to put it in the oven when our friends had arrived. So we were cool, the flat was tidy and clean, and we went into the bedroom for me to eat calmly. It was then we heard an enorous crash and splash from the kitchen. What we discovered there was a very sad sight. The cover of the oven had fallen down on the lasagna and made it fall down on the hard kitchen floor. Sauce and meet were everywhere on the floor and furniture, mixed with small and big pieces of broken glass from the plate off course. My mother wanted to sit down and cry, but didn't. She could see the humour in the situation too, even if she knew that this was going to be stressful especially with little Rose running around on the now dangerous floor. The amount of food everywhere was big. She had made a lot so that my father could have some later, and meals for other days too.

She actually managed to make an omelette, and our friends had brought a cake, so nobody left us hungry. After the visit, I had to sleep, so that my mother could clean up quickly before we were going out again. She was singing at a little concert at the Jazz Action Valence in the evening. I was very calm and quiet the whole day - just until my mother's solo acually. Then I started to cry because I was tired. That stressed both my parents a bit, and we hurried home after she had finished singing...

So today wa are doing absolutely nothing. Just relaxing. But we have to start packing soon, because early tomorrow morning, I will take a train for the first time, a TGV, a speed-train. We are going to Angers to see mamie and papy again. And also to meet many people for the first time: Tatie Stéphanie, Tonton Franck, Tonton Manu, Tata Emilie - and also my little cousins who have been waiting a long time to see me: Marie, Maxime, Alix. We are going to have a pre-Christmas party and to celebrate also many of our recent birthdays.

Beautiful snow and marvelous ferrys

Yesterday was a very special day. In the morning there was an sms from my father: "Baby, loook out! Your first snow!" I had already noticed it actually. I was lying on my parents bed, looking out the window at those white dots flying around in all directions.

It didn't last long till my mother dragged me out. It was fun to watch the snow from the pram too, but what I was going to see at the end of the walk, was even moore fantastic: I went to my very first theatre show. At "Songes" in Bourg LEs Valence, the troup called "Les fées du joli" had a special show for persons between 3 and 6 months. yesterday, I was 3 months minus 2 days, and my mother considered I was old enough.

And guess what, I was the only baby there. There were some adults who were interested to see the show too, but I was the only baby, so I got a lott of attention from the ferrys and the beutiful star-doll called "Mademoiselle Ohlàlà" like the show. The tree ferrys were extremely mild and beautiful. They had lovely voices, they touched me with feathers and let me smell nice smells. It was like being in a ferry-tale my mother thought. I was very very delighted, completely happy. My eyes were sparkeling, I was smiling and looking very eagering during the whole show.

It looked like the ferrys liked me too. They were happy there was at least one real baby there, the found me a vary good spactator since I looked so happy. One of them even held me, talked with me and let my mother film me with her after the show.

I have become a fan, and I hope to be able to see them again some time. Maybe we can go to GRenoble one time to watch this : http://www.lesfeesdujoli.com/

Very soon we will put out the little film of me with two of the beautiful ferrys and the "coquette" Mademoiselle Ohlàlà".

Tomorrow I will be three months old. After tomorrow I will have my second vaccine. I tend to sleep from 23:00 or 24:00 till 5 or 6 in the morning now. Next weekend, I will take the train for the first time in my life. We are going to Angers to meet my family there. Marie, Maxime and Alix are waiting for me along with all the adults that haven't met me yet either. That will be very special too off course.

Bisous bisous bisous - Klem klem klem :-)
