Where did my little baby girls go ???
How do kids grow up so quickly? Sophie's now back at school in the "moyenne section" - that's the "medium section" which comes after the "petite section" ("small section") and "toute petite section" ("really small section") - I'm not making this up, honest !!! (The really small section is for 2-year-olds so they are really small too!) And yes, you've guessed it, next year is the "grande section" - the "big section" !!!
Anyway, she's now in Mme Potier's class - that's the headmistress, who has a reputation as a bit of a dragon ! Also all the naughty kids get hoiked out of their class and sent off to Madame Potier's class for bad behaviour, so I think Sophie half thinks she's in there as a punishment ! They've mixed up all the classes so she's lost some of her old mates from last year, but she IS now in the same class as Arthur, who used to go to the same childminder as her. And it was true love back then!!!
And as for Juliette ... 6 & 1/2 months old and when she had a big yawn earlier, I noticed that her first tooth has just come through ! She hasn't been grumpy, had a fever or had nappy rash at all, which was always the signs with Sophie. She did get a bit moany earlier so I sang the theme tune to the kids' cartoon Mona the Vampire ... and Sophie joined in singing Moany the Grandpa, which is apparently what she thinks the words are !!!
