She's really cuter than this, you know. But I'm her Joan-ma, so what else would you expect me to say? And its verbal skills are skyrocketing exponentially....

So, cyrianne sent my granddaughter books for her birthday and Christmas--about eight of Antoon Krings' wonderful children's stories in French. She has a few of them she seems to prefer--she loves Valérie la Chauve-souris, but shuns, literally shuns, Margot L'Escargot. Go figure.

I read them to her in French, sort of, as she turns the pages really quickly, but I know she's at least understood the title character's names.

BUT TONIGHT SHE SAID HER VERY FIRST WORD IN FRENCH!!!!

I was reading her one of her favorites, Pat le Mille-Pattes, in which a recurrent character, Huguette la Guêpe (a wasp), puts in an appearance. I paused, and Vivi pointed and said, 'La guêpe!'

All right, so I knew she'd say something sooner or later, she's TWO, but this isn't the cute little word I'd've imagined. But it's a start. She already understands simple commands and isolated words...and now can say (rolls eyes) 'wasp.'

amand_r just posted these recent pictures of the Chinglet. She's 22 months now, and getting a definite 'tude. Her most recently added word is 'Elmo'! But I'm doing my joan-ma duty--when I ask her to show me Harry and Uncle Severus, she points to the appropriate refrig magnets.

There are four of them, so they're under the cut. Viola's Chinese side of the family sent her the pretty clothes.

It's been a while since I've posted Viola Kenshin pictures. She's growing fast. Last night we heard a noise in the kitchen, and she'd pushed a kitchen chair over to the sink, got up on it and was playing with silverware. She's pretty tiny for her age, at 17 months.
