Spring is humming along and I am grateful for the lovely ladies that take care of me at the "creche" while mom gets a little break at the beginning of every week. The weather (for the most part) has been delightful and thus we're out on the terrace tearing it up on the silde, the rocking horse, and throwing balls here and there with my other buddies at the creche. Personally I have become even more expressive and learning new words every day. Mom and Dad have been playing alot of classical music in the house lately and I've been showing off my ability to conduct the orchestras while watching for mom and dad to react with squeals of laughter. I am an avid fan of anything on wheels and I happily point out to anyone who will listen the various modes of transport that pass me by on a daily basis. We recently headed to Prague to visit with Grandma and Grandpa. Two weeks of wining and dining and bouncing along bumpy roads amongst some of the finest Gothic architecture. A special afternoon with my cousins in their garden where I played with my younger cousin, Albert, who is 3 months younger than I and already staring me straight in the eyes. There was plenty of toys and not too mention the cats who I had the chance to caress. Great afternoon minus a tumble down the stairs which led to a bump on my head....wasn't the first won't be the last.
As a result of a few mishaps (stealing strollers and bikes from other children) at the parks in paris mom finally broke down and bought me a BIKE in Paris and the stroller of my dreams in a color that Daddy could swallow (blue) in Prague. I have yet to get off either one I spend my days biking around the house and in Prague never for a minute did I let go of my little stroller. Mom seems to enjoy it as much as I do as it seems to keep me focused on keeping up with the Radimsky's which if you've ever personally walked with them is not an easy feat. Grandma kindly showed me how to get up the curbs so I was unstoppable.
I'm eating mom and dad out of house and home and have been enjoying all sorts of new dishes including foie de veau (veal liver), boudin noir (blood sausage), sushi, etc. Not every day and not in large portions but they have all entered into my mouth and been digested without any problems. This makes mom so happy as she loves to eat as much as I do. We'll certainly be bonding over food as more time passes. Can't wait to actually cook with her but for now I watch from the counter and scream quente!!! pronounced "kentchie" when I see hot things... as that means hot in Brazilian.
Recently mom has been meeting these wonderful other mom's on the bus which has led to me to meet Max, Arthur, Naomi and Noah so now I have even more fun playmates! And my most special is Madeleine. She's my sleepover buddy, and I love more than anything to spend time with her and her parents when mom and dad go out for a date. She comes over to our house as well and we're like two peas in a pod. She likes to feed me and I like to wander about showing her new things. And our parents get along swimmingly...Speaking of swimming, I haven't been to bebe nageur in awhile due to our trips and the fact that I sleep in after taking my morning bottle. But I've been active at Gymboree and I even took a music class which opened up my ears to all sorts of indigenous sounds across the world.
It's another weekend in June and I'm off to the country to a birthday party. And here's to all my new friends born recently across the world!
