Forgot to mention that he is doing  really well “one on one” with day care. The aide takes him walking if he decides “he’s going for a walk”.

He likes the physical games but soon as he is not busy, he’s telling them he’ll just go for a walk. I offered to keep him home but I guess the bags under my eyes suggested he attend:)  Actually, they are arranging for 2 days per week as feel he should socialize more but mercy, the drop off is difficult – for both of us. Last week we were 10 minutes in the parking lot before I got him in the door. I have to say those ladies and guys are really terrific and treat everyone like family.

So I’ve started studying the French language again. I really love listening to a good French conversation – recently attended a “local artist show” at our French cultural centre. Felt like I was eavesdropping, trying to understand the peoples’ conversations. There was nothing private – well, maybe there was, I didn’t catch it:)

Anyway, when Wayne reads, I grab my texts and make cards, just as I did in high school. Mark sent me a good link to study online so no excuses.

Pack rat that I am, my texts from school sat waiting to be read, along with a Fr/Eng translation dictionary. There’s something good about pack ratting, I guess. I’ve sorted and tossed a lot but books, can’t do it!

(When our sons were 3 and 5 years of age, one of my best friends was French Canadian. She was fluent in English but her 6 children spoke only French. Our two, only English. They understood each other and ours came home with a really humorous confusion of words. One of ours said he “saw a dog brown” – so sweet)
