Mami is the Maman of Maman

Yesterday morning when we walked into the kitchen to eat "brefkist," Robert said "Bonjour ma fille." Nathan looked at Papi and then at Maman, a little confused.

"I'm Nathan's maman." Said Alex. "Papi c'est mon Papa a moi. Et Mami est ma Maman a moi."

Nathan looked at them all and smiled.

This morning when we walked into the kitchen for breakfast, he saw Linda and Robert. He pointed at each of them with a big grin on his face and proudly said, "You are Maman's maman. You're Maman's Papa."

Sidney's words

"HI!" (He's very good at this one)
"No" (and this one...)
"Buh" = book
"Aieeee" (he'll pinch you and say "aieee")
"Ne nuh" = Nounou (teddy bear)
"Abwa" (= food, agua)
"Mama" (= bread, food, or Maman)
"Papa"
"Heeee-en" (Chien = Dog)
"Caca"
"Bain"
"Meuh" = Moo (Cow)
"Ball"
"Yon" = Lion

Papi feeds Sidney

Nathan and the bear cage?

Nathan and the Metro

The holiday windows are pretty...

But when asked, Nathan preferred the ride in the Metro.

Tapent tapent

Sidney is very expressive with his hands.

While we're at the dinner table, he frequently will raise his two hands up and begin twisting them back and forth to prompt us to begin singing "Ainsi font les petites marionettes..." Which, of course we do to his extreme delight.

Recently he started also clapping his hands together and saying "Tapent Tapent" over and over again, mimicking another song that he enjoys, "Tapent Tapent petites mains..."

"Don't grab it to me!"

(Said Nathan, as we were trying to take away a shoe-horn that he shouldn't be playing with)

In his element

Sidney loves to eat. Eat, eat, eat.

It's Little Laney!

Now that we're all calm, let's land!

And we're off

The happy fireman

Nathan dressed up as a fireman this year for "pre-Halloween" (the Lycee is on vacance during the real Halloween, so they do a party the week before)

Yummy Yummy

Alex and I decided to take the kids to Yummy Yummy for dinner.

Alex: "Nathan, what would you think about going to Yummy Yummy for dinner?"
Nathan: "Then momma says no!"

Alex: "Nathan, but I'm inviting you to go. Do you want go to Yummy Yummy for dinner?"
Nathan: "Yeah! But two more minutes in the house!" (playing)

Nathan: "We're gonna go to Yummy Yummy for dinner. There's arroz inside."

"This is not a big car...

It's a bus!"
