This is how full a shopping basket gets when Maman makes the mistake of getting on the phone in a lolly shop.

Eloïse helped herself to a basket and started to casually fill it up as we moved through the store.

Learning styles

Nico is probably a beaver. Ellie is probably an otter.

Proud mummy moment

First certificate of achievement, earned 1 month into his schooling.
We got an ice-cream to celebrate!
Now if only i understood what "Looking after one's own learning" means.

Manners

Lani gave us some mandarins, so I got the kids to thank her.
Nico: Thank you Lani!
Eloïse: Cám on Mẹ! (Thank you Mum in Vietnamese)
Maman: Eloïse, say Thank You Lani
Eloïse: Cám on Mẹ!
Maman: Not me Eloïse, Lani
Eloïse: Cám on Mẹ Lani!

Lettre au Père Noël

Bonjour Papa Noël,

Merci pour Diesel 10 Papa Noël.

Au revoir Papa Noël.

I was lying next to Eloïse when I coughed.
"Are you alright Maman? Are you alright? Do you want a drink?"
And she goes off to get me my bottle of water...

Growing up in a multilingual home...

"Regarde Maman, kijk Papa, look Eloïse!"

My house

By Nicolas, 4.5 y.o.

My house has a roof with a chimney, and some windows so I can see lightning and rain.

There’s a straight stairs, and it’s purple and it’s close to Papa’s work.

It’s small, so I can fit in, and it has two bedrooms. One for Papa, and one for me. Maman you can sleep upstairs with Eloise and I will sleep downstairs with Papa.

Eloise and I will cook in the kitchen; we’ll make fries because we know how to make fries.

I have the key in my pocket.

There are four cups for Maman and Eloise and me and Papa. We will run outside. There will be a deck and some grass, and some chickens and a house for my chickens to sleep. My chickens will have some sand and some shells like Oma’s chickens.

I have four puppies and five big cats in my house. One cat is named Sally and one dog is named John. The other dogs are named Eloise The Dog and the Dragon and the Cat. The other cats are called Camilla, Flynn, Finbar and Drish. Another dog is called Nicholas From Daycare. Don’t forget to spell the H in Nicholas. I have three new puppies.

How big's the drop between Ground level at Britomart and B2?

Nico's new addiction: "White Nutella" with 58g sugar per 100g.

ELOÏSE!!!

Caught red-handed and moisturiser-smeared.

We're going for a swiiiiim!!!

"Maman, I like sex"! ~ Nicolas, 4 y.o.

Then I realised that he was telling me that he'd like six pieces of sushi on his plate.

Slaap, kindje slaap

Eloïse is walking around the house with her bunny wrapped in a blanket and singing a Dutch lullaby to her... <3
