Let Jack tell you about his life!

Jack is beginning to speak. He only has about 10 words for the moment and those words are fragile, but they are there and can help you have an insight into his daily life!
-

'Chaud' was the weather on holiday, every day (almost) which allowed us to spend most of our time outside. In Provence, that's a good thing as you hike along dusty paths and swim in water-lined gorges. Sometimes, though, the Mistral wind blows and causes Jack to blow on his hand in empathy of all things gusty.

-

'Gateau' is what he likes to eat...biscuits, bread and cakes are all greeted with a smile and an outreached hand.

-

'Kettle' is what 'Maman' puts on before she gets the 'gateau' out.. of course, the 'kettle' is 'chaud.'

-

'Papa' is cool. Of course.

-

When Papa is not there, Jack wants to know 'Où est Papa?' (where is Papa?).

If Papa is upstairs, outside, in the loo... Papa 'est là bas' (Papa is over there).

When Papa comes in the door he's 'PapapapapA.'

-

'Doudou' is two people: it's his teddy and his comforter. They go everywhere with him. (Doudou the comforter has a secret twin brother, just in case).

-

'Meuh..Moo' are what he says when he thinks he sees a cow.

'Meow' is his way of talking to cats.

'Urf urf' is the noise he makes for dogs... and he likes to present dogs with presents such as his succette/dummy or 'his' stones.

-

'Caa' is his word for car... and he loves cars but not as much as.....

'Boom. Boom' which are the motorbikes which simultaneously delight and terrfify him.

-

'Caca' is the poo that he does in his potty, when he has the chance.. which is quite often. Hurrah for the potty!

-

'Cuddle' is what his 'Papa' and 'Maman' like to give him!

-

'Qu'est que ce que ça?' is his eternal question and is always accompanied by a chubby little pointing finger.'What is that?' evokes responses that are as precise or as random as my mood. He always seems content.. which is a good thing as his lessons in 'franglais' (French and English/ Frenglish) are set to continue for a long time to come.

-

'ByeBye' and 'Au revoir' are always accompanied by frenetic hand waving and often by little kisses which are blown in smudges.
