Laetitia and her friend Sophie.

As mentioned before in a previous post, Laetitia has a friend, Sophie, whom she meets once a year. However, that does not stop the two little one from hitting it off immediately every time.

Here some photos of the two darlings.
A little help from the two papas.
And they managed to hold each other's hand. This picture is so sweet. I really love it. It would be lovely to show it to them when they grow up and truly become friends.
And finally, just a photo of my little one (with Sophie and her papa in the background).

Some photos from her garderie.

We bought a CD of some of the photos that the staff in the garderie (daycare) took of Laetitia and thought it will be nice to share some here.

Here's my darling looking oh so grown up.

Concentrating while working on her next masterpiece. I have to say she really enjoys drawing.

Laetitia and friends.

I was sorting out some of the photos we took in Singapore and came across some that I feel would be lovely to have on the blog. Just a few of Laetitia and the other toddlers she came into contact with during the holiday (they are all my friends kids). She is quite a sociable child and most of the time, it is not difficult to leave her alone to play with other children. I say most of the time as there are occasions when other children will make her more upset than usual but it is really quite rare.

So here's my little pie and her friends.






And here is my little "gourmand" enjoying her crab. She got to taste many different new food and fruits in Singapore including crabs, prawns, durians, rambutans, mangoteens and many others that I probably forgot.

A day in the park

The last couple of days have been BEAUTIFUL here in Paris. A glorious sunny 27 degrees. Parisa and I decided to take the babies out and enjoy a bit of the sun. Truth be told, I am not too much of a park person. When Parisa asked me on Tuesday which park do I normally take Laetitia to, I had to sheepishly tell her that I don't take my little pie to walk in a park. I am not exactly keen on having Laetitia crawl on the grass and put things (like grass or dirt) in her mouth. Anal. I know.

So anyways, I decided maybe I should change that and we did go to the park today. We went to Square de la Roquette which is about 10 mins walk from our apartment. I finally had the opportunity to use the pretty picnic mat that I bought for Laetitia.

As you can see from the photo, the park is crowded. There were mothers with their babies, grandparents with their grandchild (as evident from the background of the photo), young couples, single females reading... It was tough finding a spot under the tree.

Soon we were joined by Olivia and her baby Max. Here's an attempt to take a photo of the three little ones. Not quite a kodah moment but at least a photo that shows the face of all three.
And here's more of Milly and Laetitia.


And I cannot resist putting this very lovely photo of Milly. What a sweet smile.
Oh, and I do not have to worry about Laetitia crawling on the grass. She HATES it. She absolutely refuses to go near the grass. The first time she accidentally put her hand on the grass, she immediately removed her hand and had this disgusted look on her face! My oh my, that little PRINCESS. I tried to entice her to step/crawl onto the grass and she would not bulge. It was really funny. It seemed as if there was this invisible fence on the edge of the mats. Well, that's truly my girl. :p

Coffee time with Ivana and Baby Bel

Yesterday I took Laetitia with me to Cafe Marly (a tres chic joint in the Louvre museum). We met up with Ivana and Baby Bel (Isabelle). It was lovely seeing them and it was the first time Laetitia met Baby Bel. Here's my little one trying to get acquainted with Baby Bel.

"Oh my gosh Mummy. It's a little baby!"

And here is the pretty mummy Ivana with her precious darling.
