Teeth

Theodore and I went to see Uncle Roger last week. He had to make two temporary fillings in my teeth, again :-( I told him my front tooth was wobbly, and he also told me I had an eruption (sounds painful), and explained it meant a new tooth was pushing the old one out. He said it would take a month, but it came out in two weeks.

My front tooth was wobbly on the way home from school yesterday. I had it in  my hand when I got home, but I dropped it downstairs in the lift lobby, and couldn't find it. Papa, Theodore and I went back downstairs after dinner to look for it. Luckily, Theodore found it very quickly.

Papa told me to put the tooth under my pillow for the Tooth Fairy to find,  in the morning, I discovered $100 where my tooth was. :-)

Sports day

Instead of the usual rugby training today, I took part in a rugby festival at our home ground hosted by Tai Po Rugby Club. Because we were celebrating Papa's birthday with Grandma and the Gugus at lunch today, we had to leave early. I don't know if I will get a participation medal for it next week – I got one when we played at our own festival, and at the one organised by Hong Kong University.

After lunch, Papa, Theodore and I competed in the swimming gala at our Club. I swam 25m kick and came first, and Papa tried to explain to me why I received a silver medal, like the one he got for finishing second. He said something about heat, which I didn't understand. Theodore won his back-stroke race, but didn't get a medal. He was a bit upset too. Somebody said he had a false start, whatever that means... Sai Gugu said she would complain because the marshalls didn't stop the race.

Fight

I had another fight with Theodore on the way to kids' Gallery today. He's much bigger than me, and usually gets his way.

Shirley was in the front seat, while we were in the back; Maya's crayons were there in the back. We both wanted to draw, so were fighting over crayons. As usual, Theodore won. He grabbed a crayon and stabbed me in the forehead. Mr. Wan told Theodore off, and Papa was not pleased with him when we got home. He told Theodore that I could have been blinded by the pencil.

Cavities

School's out. Mummy was worried to see black spots on my teeth, so Papa made an appointment with our dentist. Mummy and Papa took me and Theodore to see Uncle Roger this morning.

Theodore's teeth were fine, but Uncle Roger looked  in my mouth and reported 4 cavities – two on each side of my mouth, two on the top and two on the bottom. Only one of them was large enough to be fixed, so he put some filling in it for me. He told me I had to go back during the summer holidays. :-(

Party

I went to my school friend Maxine's birthday party yesterday. She is four. It was a Chinese themed party, with Pipa performance and ribbon dancing. She had a beautiful cake.

Jean-Marc

I went for a long walk in the countryside where Jean-Marc and Hélène live. They have a big house, a pond with two ducks and many fish. There's also Margeurite the cat and Lotus the dog, and a big bear whose name I do not know.

On our walk, I saw fields of wheat, played in the fields; I was pleased to see a rider on a big horse.

I was tired afterwards I slept on the way back to Paris.

Back to school

I missed a whole week of school because I was ill. I was very hot in the head, and a nasty cough followed. The doctor told me to stay at home. I ate little, and did not want any medicine for two days. For the whole week, I got to watch some television, but still got very bored and I got up to all sorts of mischief. Yesterday, I ransacked Lorielyn's room, and Mummy sent me to my own room. I then got tearing at the paper on my wall - Papa was very unhappy.

Papa decided that we both needed a haircut! Théodore said he wanted to be bald, so that's what I also wanted too. ;-) Papa cut our hair quite short, but we both liked it.

outside my classroom on my first day

Today was the first day at the same school as my brother. I think Mummy is relieved I don't have to stay at home any more. My teacher is Miss Qiu, Papa says she was Théodore's teacher last year.
