Encore sur scene! - On stage again!

Oscar a eu sa "class assembly", la presentation par sa classe d'un theme lors de l'assemblee hebdomadaire de tous les eleves de l'ecole. Leur theme etait les sentiments, et Oscar a ete, comme a son habiture, tres charismatique sur scene! Il a d'abord decrit un sentiment, la joie, comme quand "ma maman me laisse jouer a la console!!!". Puis il etait un marchand d'oiseaux sur un marche... Voyez plutot! Jules a ete tres sage pendant toute la representation, observant tout autour de lui!

Oscar had his class assembly, the theme was feelings. Oscar was, as usual, very charismatic on stage! He first described a feeling, joy, like when "my mummy lets me play on my XBox!" and then he was a bird seller on a market stall... Check this out! Jules was really good during the assembly, watching around him and taking it all in!

To celebrate the 40th birthday of Auntie Claire, we meet up in Derbyshire (yes again!) for a weekend with the whole family. The weather was unfortunately not great at all but we still enjoyed a great weekend together...

Bebe nageur - Baby swimming

Je ne sais pas si les bebes nageurs en France sont comme ici, mais Jules a commence a apprendre a nager... sous l'eau! Cette methode joue sur un relfexe que tous les bebes ont a la naissance... c'est impressionant! Jules ne bouge pas beaucoup dans l'eau, ni ses pieds ni ses mains mais arrive bien a nager sous l'eau... mieux que sa maman!!!

I don't know if what we call "bebes nageurs" in France is the same, but Jules has started to learn how to swim... under water! This method uses a natural reflex that all babies have when they are born... it is quite impressive! Jules doesn't move his arms and legs a lot but he can still swim well under water... better than his mummy!!!

 

 

Progres de Jules en Decembre - December progresses

Jules peut maintenant s'assoir un petit moment dans sa chaise haute. Il fait de plus en plus de bruits, certains assez droles! Il essaye de sucer son pouce mais n'a pas encore trouve le bon doigt!

Jules can now sit in his high chair for a short time. He can make more noises, sometimes quite funny! He is trying to suck his thumb but didn't quite yet find the right finger!
