Ellawes the Mermaid visits Room 3

Oma had made Eloïse a mermaid outfit which was very much admired.

For Purple Cake Day, all kids at Bizzy Kidz dressed up in purple - perfect! But before, we dropped off Nico at school and a small crowd gathered around us.

A couple of weeks later, the kids at school made drawings. The last one (the one who spelt Eloïse correctly, down to the diaereses!) is Nico's.

The strongest insult a 3-y.o. can muster

Eloïse was having a tantrum on the toilet (as you do) and my nerves were starting to fray...

Then she angrily shouted "NO WAY, YOU SILLY BILLY!"

I think she wondered why Maman burst out laughing in the middle of a tantrum.

Proud mummy moment

Yes another one...

After just two months in year 0 and one month in year 1, Nicolas' reading skills are on par with kids at the end of year 1.

Below is a photo taken from his school's newsletter.

Conversation with Nico a couple of days back:

“Maman, can we buy Lego?

- Oh?

- Yes, a big box! But *you* have to buy it…

- But what if I want to buy something for myself?

- It’s ok, I’ll share with you.

- But what if I wanted to buy something else for myself, like clothes, or food?

- (matter-of-factly) Then you have to work more.“
