Un weekend de "premier fois"

I took Chloe to her first movie in the theaters on Friday night. We saw Madagascar 2. She was spellbound the entire time. Then we had dinner out afterward, just to two of us. It was great Mama-Chloe time. The night before, Jerome took Chloe to her first concert, too (one at his school).

Tonight, the girls took their first bath together--they had so much fun. I love to watch the two of them together. No one makes Margot laugh like Chloe; Margot is just delighted by Chloe's attention. And having Margot has made me see a new, beautiful quality in Chloe: she is such a natural caretaker. She loves to be the big sister and help Margot with anything and everything. I'll put pictures up on flickr soon.

Une dent de lait

Margot's first baby tooth came in today! Pauvre Margot: in addition to the pain of teething, she has a cold too. But she is still such a sweet, smiley baby...I'm a lucky mama!

Dans les lignes

Chloe is working on coloring in the lines...she's doing great.

Le Jour Des Elections

Another lovely Indian summer day. Chloe played in the leaves with Ava, and Margot played with toys on a blanket. We couldn't ask for better weather.

A cute story from Election Day...maybe a little too cute, but still:
I took the girls with me to vote today. Chloe was curious as to why we were going in the big kids' school, and I told her that we were picking the next president. She then asked, "If you pick the president, can I wrap it?"
