Mots d'enfants

Margot is officially 13 months tomorrow, and she is not at all interested in walking yet. I think it is because she is rather into talking right now. She adds new words often, the latest being "night-night." She also has added the word "butt" to her repertoire, thanks to big sister Chloe. I don't think Chloe really knew what she was doing, since we really don't use the word "butt" often in our house (Jerome, of course, opts for the French "fesses", and I actually use the Polish word "dupa"). Well anyway, Margot says it clear as day. Often.

We had a great Memorial Day weekend here. Friday, Chloe and I gardened with my dad, ripping out enormous weeds that had taken over the south side of our house and replacing them with hostas and lillies. Chloe has really taken an interest in flowers and planting. Then, Saturday, we spent the evening with neighbors, including Chloe's best bud Ava and some new friends, two more little girls, she has been playing with lately as well. Sunday we spent with good friends who are moving within the month. They are not moving far away, but we will miss having them just a few blocks away. Chloe has always played well with their older boy, and they have a younger boy who is Margot's age, too (though he is only three months older, it really makes a hug difference at this age).

Soon, it will be June, and then July: time for France!
