For the Record

Just wanted to post some random things for myself.

Didn't have heat for the past 2.5 weeks. Luckily, we were in the USA for the 1st week and a half. But it's pretty cold right now...about high of 40-50 or so. We were FREEZING in the house until the heater guy came this morning. That's right, at 9am on a Saturday. Almost seems UNFRENCH doesn't it.

Michael had reverse culture shock in America. With a toilet. We get to America, he pees, and then he's looking all over the toilet. He looks at me and asks, "Where's the button Mommy?"

"Well, in America, you don't push a button to flush a toilet. You push this lever."
Something small but interesting.

Also, one day for lunch, he asked if we could have quiche. Hmmm...while you can get quiche in America, it's not available at every boulangerie like it is here. So no son, it's going to have be Burger King because we're house hunting.

Michael told me yesterday that Daddy was his favorite and that I was his 2nd favorite. I'm ok with that. I'm just glad I made the list and that Jonah wasn't ahead of me. :)

He loves a song by Edith Piaf that he calls his "Crazy Song." If he hears it, he stops whatever he's doing and immediately starts running around in circles and shaking his head back and forth.

I am selling things right now...it's a pain in the butt. This one Message mom has literally asked me 4-5 questions (in 3-5 e-mails mind you)...about my toddler bed. She has to convince her husband to come and get it. Why am I annoyed? BECAUSE THE BED IS FREAKIN' 10 EURO. What do you really expect for 10 euro??? IT'S A FREAKIN' BED. GOOD GRIEF. I'd understand if it was an oven or a real appliance that needs to fit and work. BUT A BED? JEEZ.

That's it.
