Chaud and Tell


The weather's pretty hot here in Alsace at the moment. How do I know? Well, not only is the thermometer dancing around the 30*C but also Jack is fascinated by the word 'Chaud' (French for hot). He'll look suspiciously at any food that he suspects is the slightest bit 'chaud'; he'll question if his bathwater is 'chaud?'; and, when we're out walking, he'll look at me and say 'chaud,' as if its my fault that the skies have decided to heat up.
Our apartment, at the same time, has become a cleaner place. Not only because most of the work is done, but also because Jack is a bit of a clean freak. He loves hoovering (he even has his own toy hoover), he wipes the table and the floor; and, when he goes to the potty, he takes off his nappy and then goes running (butt naked) through to his room to put the offensive item in the rubbish.. all while muttering to himself: bin, bin, bin!
Ben's pretty proud of him, as you can imagine. Not only for all the changes that are happening but also because today Jack tried to say a very important word: car!!!
Yep, it's official, our baby's becoming a boy :-)
Hoping you're well,
