Today, Michael and I went to the mall and DPAM in search for Shortalls for him for this hot weather. The French do not do shortalls as well as Gymboree so I am missing that store to bits! And DPAM NEVER has them in sizes 6 months-18 months. There are tons of French babies out there with Michael's shortalls on!

Michael hates the mall because it is hot. As soon as we get in, he starts to whine and cry and then as soon as I leave, he falls asleep because it is cool outside. Brian puts him up to this, I am sure.

Then, this afternoon we headed over to the community pool in search of Bebe nageur classes: SWIMMING CLASSES! I find out that it is not offered at the pool I visited but the lady was nice enough to tell me the nearest pool that had it. And this was all done in French mind you! AHEM! We will go to the pool later to check it out. It is near Cardinal Lemoine, which is where we honeymooned! ;)

Anyways, there was a park nearby so Michael and I stopped for a bit. Michael was not too keen on the other children, but he WAS keen on my purse until a pigeon showed up. At that point, that was the best thing in the world. He watched that pigeon until it left and then when it came back, he watched it again. So cute.

Then, we wandered down a street called rue de buttes de cailles but I can't remember the name well except that the word BUTT is in it.

We met brian in the street when he came home from work (usual occurrence really) and caught up with our Guardien. And then bedtime.

Voila,

To my pleasant surprise, Grey's Anatomy Season 3 has started here in France on TF1 (which is a network channel like NBC). In my TV guide, it says that it is "propose VM sur la TNT," which means it is in ENGLISH via TNT.

So I am scrambling to find out how to get it and Brian tells me that our TV is TNT ready since we got the "integral TNT" version. Should be simple.

The blessed night arrives and Brian proudly switches the language to "Anglais" instead of "francaise." And the blasted show is STILL IN FRENCH. I am just SO SAD! Brian says i need to troubleshoot it and just plug the TV straight into the wall without the cable box since the TV itself is TNT ready.

WHAT? TROUBLESHOOT? WHAT?!?!?!?

Love,
