The gown and the molars.

As the weather has turned chilly, Felix is the proud new owner of a lovely little white robe from Petit Bateau.


He was pretty chuffed with the new attire and especially having a coat to wear inside.


Mummy's pretty happy too as now he will be toasty warm after the bath and when he gets up of a morning (which luckily at the moment is about 8am!).


But there have been a few late night wake-ups of late as Felix's bottom molars have been coming through ... ouch!


But given the pain of molars it's been pretty manageable and not too many drugs this time round. (If you look carefully in the photo above you can see one cutting through the surface).


Only two more molars to go! Yippee!

Friends in Boulougne-Billancourt.

Mummy and Felix visited Alexia and her Mummy for a playdate last week (about 5 minutes from where Daddy was born in Boulogne-Billancourt).


Felix had great fun playing with all of Alexia's toys (especially the horsey) and as usual proved what a good apetite he has finishing off most of the fruit and practically all of the gâteaux.


Alexia wasn't quite so sure about this little boy who had invaded her home, eaten all the food and was playing with all her toys. Hmmm.


But she was a very good sharer and very good at teaching us all about french animals.


All-in-all it was a lovely afternoon of indulging in pastries and chatting for the Mummies too!

Butterfly.

Most days Felix prefers to have sandwiches for lunch. Which is quite handy as they are nice and easy, and no thinking is required from Mummy.


Today it was ham and cheese. Oh and butter, or rather 'Butterfly' as Felix calls it. Try as I might to tell him it's actually butter, and butterfly is the insect, he's just not budging on this one.


So now Felix has ham, cheese and butterfly sandwiches. Mmm-mmm. (Although it is very sweet don't you think)!

Introducing Simone.

Felix wanted to introduce you to Simone, who is the lovely lady who come to play with him when Mummy and Daddy go out. Felix just adores Simone and calls her 'Mon'.

Four in the bed.

At playgroup yesterday Felix and Ben decided that they wanted to play in Ben's bed and have some fun. Pretty quickly Freja and Max joined them too!


Little Jonah was having some fun too from the outside looking on enviously at the big kids.


With four in the bed you can imagine there was lots of jumping and laughter.


Amazingly enough the bed stayed in one piece (?!#?), to Ben's Mummy's delight.


After all the excitement Max found it nice just to sit down and have a little repose.

Trucks and little boys.

Little boys just LOVE their trucks.


And Felix certainly is obessed with anything with wheels at the moment. He loves zipping around the kitchen on his little truck and he can get to some pretty high speeds too.


This week Felix introduced Leonardo to the world of tricycles. Leonardo took to it like a fish to water (or a lion to trike). With just a little bit of help from Felix along the way.


Cheeky little monkeys ...


Ooops Felix, you'd better look out for those chairs!

Afternoon stroll at the Lux.

Mummy and Felix went for a stroll in the Luxembourg gardens yesterday afternoon before our playgroup.


It was quite a mild autumn day and we looked at all the leaves that were falling off the trees.


Felix raced around with his little pram (it is incredibly successful at wearing out little boys).


Up and down the different paths in the gardens, trying to follow the little touches of sunshine here and there.


It was quite a nice little wander and it seemed to do the trick at wearing Felix out before we joined the others at the little playground. Even more excitement to wear him out.


At 7pm Felix asked Daddy to go to bed. Most unusual for the little man to actually ask to go to bed, especially at 7pm. He slept soundly until 8am this morning!

Little boy down.

Felix has started playing the most peculiar game in the past week. It's called 'Little Boy Down'.


He's quite taken to pretending that he has fallen down on to the floor. He stands up and pretends to fall down again.


And he does it again and again, and to each fall Mummy replies ... "Uh oh. Little boy down!".


And sure enough the little boy goes down again. Unusual game no?

Ecole Buissonière.

Yesterday Felix and Mummy went to play with Ben and his Mummy at Ecole Buissonière a great play area for kids, where Mummies can enjoy a cup of tea (and stay warm), whilst the kids run around and play together.


Felix eyed off the trampoline first and had some fun trying to get his head around the 'bouncing on a trampoline' idea. (As you can see it was a very serious matter!)


There were some fun things to climb on and everything is nice and vibrantly coloured. And best of all was the super size slippery dip which was great fun for little boys.


Of course Felix (being his father's son), was pretty keen to have a turn on the computers which are especially for the kids.


A great afternoon was had and there seemed to be smiles all round. Am sure there will be a few more trips over the chilly winter months.

'I Love You'.

The big news for the week is that Felix is now saying "I Love You". Needless to say it melts Mummy and Daddy's hearts every time he says it.


He has quite taken to a little game where we say "Guess what Felix?" and he collapses into giggles responding "I Love You". Make the most of it I say!

Felix & Nougat.

Being Sunday afternoon, Felix, Mummy and Daddy set off to the park to enjoy some time 'outdoors'.

Of course Felix was interested in one thing and one thing only. The Ponies!! So of course Mummy and Daddy let him have his 2nd pony ride.


And so young Felix, with Daddy by his side, had a lovely afternoon ride on 'Nougat' beside the lake at Parc Montsouris.


After all the excitement of the ponies, it was time to go for a stroll and have some fun on the slides. Mummy was thinking how different afternoons are these days. Parks are simply THE thing to do.


We are becoming a Parisian family aren't we?

Gloves.

Mummy bought Felix some new gloves the other day to match his winter coat so his fingers stay toasty warm during those chilly winter months.


Felix was pretty chuffed with his gloves and insisted on wearing them inside and showing them off (much like his little friend Etienne likes to do).


When all of a sudden he decided to have a quick breather (in his gloves of course).


And then of course before Mummy could blink her eyes he was back up and at it again! Oh the energy of little boys!


(As I type he is running laps around the kitchen table)

More of Magical Montsouris.

Okay Mummy can't helps herself as she just wants to share one more shot of beautiful Parc Montsouris ...
