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.

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.

Visit to Uncle Roger

Mummy and Papa took me and Theodore to see grandpa's friend Uncle Roger today . Uncle Roger's a dentist. I sat in his chair and he had a look at my teeth. He said my teeth were perfect:-)

We all stayed at home on Friday; Papa didn't have to go to work. There was a lot of rain, and a lot of wind. Papa said there was a direct hit on Hong Kong by typhoon Nuri.

I have a new school friend who lives in the estate across the road. Mummy invited her over for a play date on Sunday. Mummy baked us a big chocolate cake.

School starts

No more Kids' Gallery for me, I started school one week ago.

It is not so hot right now, so Mummy and Papa decided to take us to the beach on Sunday. I slept all the way there on the bus.

Swimming

It's summer, and I ask Papa to take me swimming. I have started taking lessons, and now enjoying putting my head in water and doing a few strokes.

My party

Mummy and Papa gave me a lovely firetruck, with a little man, for my birthday. I love it! Theodore keeps trying to snatch it from me. Papa told him to let me enjoy my present today, on my birthday.

Mummy and Papa arranged a fantastic party for me, inviting all my school friends. Nathalie, Ramona, Sahib, Wai Wai, Way Lian, Pak Yin, and Lok Lok came. We all sat together and made cookies.

Our parents all helped out, and we had a great time. My friends brought me lots of lovely presents :-).

Big bump on the head

I've been at home most of the day yesterday with Lorielyn, while Mummy and Papa took Theodore on a school outing. I was so excited to see them when they got back. Sitting on the back of the sofa, I lost my balance and fell backwards hitting my head on the floor. Mummy and Papa were really worried because I vomited. Luckily they didn't have far to go: they took me to the hospital right next door. After waiting an hour and a half, I was X-rayed. Mr Doctor said I had concussion and was probably OK, but told Papa to look out for some warning signs.

I was fine today, and went to school as usual this morning.
