Hello and welcome!

I live in Montreal, Quebec, and my first language is French.

May I insist on the fact that I love getting comments?

Kids complementing each other

You probably know by now that LP's favorite pastime is playing with toy cars. And incidentally, spreading them across the floor everywhere. You might even remember how crazy it drives me (the zero tolerance to clutter neurotic) sometimes (like here, and here, and here for instance).

Well, there's hope. F, now just one week shy of her 1st birthday, is not walking yet but is crossing the whole house on all fours at lightning speed, pulling herself up, starting to climb up the stairs and to cruise around furniture. She also likes her brother's toy cars. They're all she ever knew for toys -the pink bug hasn't caught her yet (I know it will soon). Yesterday, without anyone teaching her how to, she suddenly took a different interest in a typical LP cars-on-floor modern art display. She zoomed to it, and, very decidedly, one by one, she took them and put them all in the bin that was waiting silently nearby. Then she sat on the floor, let out a sigh while looking at the bare space, and applauded herself.

That's so cute! I also love babies clapping themselves when they know they've done something good. It melts my heart.
