BUT I've been working on my pages nevertheless and apart from day12 (still waiting for some great birthday pics) and day13 (I still don't really know why I haven't made that page yet), I am currently almost up to date with the project. It's been really fun and interesting and I am already sad that it will come to an end in just a couple of days!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I haven't finished the journaling for Day15 (day of the big scare), so I'll post it later on. I haven't had the time to keep the daily diary and though I miss it, my time is better spend taking care of myself and the babies!&lt;br /&gt;Less time also means less digi stuff: I only use the computer now to download my pictures, edit  and print them. The rest is done with paper, embellishments and my trusty black pen for the hand-written journaling. Although I do miss the small digi part I used to do, I'm doing what must be done to keep up with this project and I'm happy with that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Here is Day 16 page1:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TRNZPrqSF3I/AAAAAAAAIWQ/mTcIovePlNM/s1600/P1090162-1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block;

color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;December 14:&lt;/span&gt; Gaëtan ne s'est endormi que vers minuit hier soir après avoir discuté, chanté et un peu râlé dans son lit. Il devait être super excité après la fête de Noël et/ou avoir trop bu de jus d'orange. Je ferai plus attention la prochaine fois! Je m'attendais à un réveil tardif, mais pas de soucis, il était sur le pont à partir de 7h45. Par contre, j'ai eu plus de mal à émerger et le démarrage a été lent... d'où une arrivée à Grenadine à 9h30 au lieu de 9h! Le plan loose, c'est que Jérôme avait besoin de la voiture, donc je n'ai pas pu aller faire des courses SEULE à Vélizy2. Je ne sais pas du coup si je vais pouvoir y aller cette semaine, car ils prévoient encore de la neige pour mercredi/jeudi (mais j'espère en moins pire). Du coup, après avoir fait un peu d'ordi, annulé la femme de ménage pour cause de lessive de chemises non faites, je suis partie sur Montparnasse: objectif, H&amp;amp;M pour voir les fringues de grossesse et La Procure pour les santons de Gaëtan et des livres de Noël plus religieux... Au final, pas de H&amp;amp;M Mama rue de Rennes et peu de livres sympas à la Procure (mais j'ai pu acheter les santons)... + un monde fou pour manger (notamment au McDo, au chaud!) donc j'ai fini par acheter une quiche que j'ai mangée dans la rue vers 13h30. J'ai eu froid, je me suis fatiguée... bref, la loose presque intégrale!&lt;br /&gt;Ensuite, direction Grenadine pour ma permanence mensuelle après un petit arrêt chocolat chaud à Corentin Celton (car j'étais un peu en avance). Tout allait bien là-bas, Gaëtan avait bien mangé et bien fait la sieste, cool! J'ai papoté avec les équipes (Delphine, Sonia, Nadia) et regardé les enfants jouer. Gaëtan a eu un coup de pompe vers 16h30 où il a fallu Doudou + les bras de maman, mais sinon pas de soucis. Il a soufflé une bougie 2 ans posée sur un gâteau au chocolat (reste de la fête d'hier) par 3 fois et il avait l'air de vraiment bien aimé. Ca m'a fait plaisir de le voir vraiment attentif (voire participatif) pendant les temps calmes (lecture, chanson...), lui qui avait apparemment du mal au début. Ensuite activité dessin et enfilage de grosses perles en bois. J'ai été impressionnée qu'ils arrivent si bien à le faire à leur âge!&lt;br /&gt;Retour maison vers 18h où Jérôme était déjà rentrée. Bain pour le petit mister, repas soupe avec petites pâtes mais à peine mangé la moitié + Kiri + yaourt... bref... Temps de jeu avant d'aller se coucher. Il a un peu parlé, mais s'est endormi assez vite finalement. Pour nous, c'était "boite chaude" (Mont d'Or au  four) avec pommes de terre. Il y a une odeur de fromage fondu dans tout l'appart et j'ai l'impression que même mes habits sont imprégnés!&lt;br /&gt;Demain, c'est RV gynéco: on va bien voir comment elle me trouve et comment va se passer le suivi de grossesse pour les jumeaux (fréquence des échos, des visites etc...).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2711000603431229838-9220561814995726168?l=livelovelullaby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/feeds/9220561814995726168/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-daily-day-14.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/9220561814995726168'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/9220561814995726168'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-daily-day-14.html' title='December Daily - Day 14'/><author><name>Anne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03351760195962634693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TQt-1Sun3NI/AAAAAAAAIVI/emNtds1hnU8/s72-c/Day14.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711000603431229838.post-6653420241440492934</id><published>2010-12-13T23:45:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-12-14T00:08:16.365+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='December daily'/><title type='text'>December Daily - Day 11</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span&gt;And here is Day11.

Jérôme is still sleeping. It's the last day to do some crafting for Gaëtan's birthday tomorrow. So after breakfast, I start to cut out several circles of felt (from the various felt coupons I bought on Wednesday) to make some simple garlands, inspired by what Elise Blaha posted on her blog a few days ago (hers were grey but I want color!). G is playing with his little cars, so cute. I start sewing the circles a few cms from each other and the garlands turn out really cute (in my opinion). Even Gaëtan is saying "choli, choli" (= joli = cute) ;) He watching me sew really intensively! Then I do some baking for tomorrow's little birthday party: first some 'cannelés' batter (put in the fridge until tomorrow), then a chocolate cake I'm planning to decorate tomorrow. And finally, I am putting enough pressure on Jérôme to set up the tree, so he put his coat and goes to work on the terrasse (the tree trunk is massive and way bigger than the hole in the log we usually use to keep it straight). The tree is up during Gaëtan's nap, I go out for some grocery shopping and can start decorating the tree when Gaëtan wakes up. He's not really helping, but I let him play with the ornaments. They are not really valuable and playing/touching them is half the fun for him. He's coughing again and has a very runny nose. I took his temperature before he went to bed  (38°C, slight fever but nothing major). Jérôme's still sick and not feeling well... Dinner for Gaëtan (not great but ok with some potato/carrot Mousseline mash), then pizza for us. And a little December Daily catch-up for me before going to bed early tonight!! It's 11pm and I just need to wrap Gaëtan's gifts and then I'm off to bed while Jérôme is doing his Tarte Tatin dough so it can rest in the fridge during the night.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2711000603431229838-6653420241440492934?l=livelovelullaby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/feeds/6653420241440492934/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-daily-day-11.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/6653420241440492934'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/6653420241440492934'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-daily-day-11.html' title='December Daily - Day 11'/><author><name>Anne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03351760195962634693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TQamX3NJcrI/AAAAAAAAIUc/qjoxR8w0uL4/s72-c/Day11.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711000603431229838.post-3501368135376021155</id><published>2010-12-13T22:29:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-12-14T00:08:34.385+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='December daily'/><title type='text'>December Daily - Day 10</title><content type='html'>&lt;span&gt;I really love this project and what I've done so far.

I picked him up around 12.30pm then put him to bed immediately so he could have a good nap before the show later that afternoon... I don't know if he was excited by the show or else but he didn't go to sleep until 2.15pm! Needless to say, he was sound asleep when I went to pick him up to get dressed to go to the show... poor baby. I would normally have let him sleep, but I really wanted to go and see if he would enjoy it. We were running late, he had a Pompot on the way, I droped the prom at the "prom parking lot" (!) in front of the Conservatoire, then ran upstairs to find a seat before the show started. It was a nice little show and Gaëtan laughed a few times, but not outstanding. Gaëtan was too 'stoned' during the first half to do anything other than sit in my lap and started getting interested by the other kids and his surrounding after a while. He then wanted us to move/walk and to climb up and down the folding seats! But he didn't cry or shout (proud mama!). After the show, we could pick up a gift from the mayor (choice between a CD, a book or a puzzle - I chose the wild animals puzzle) + a 'viennoiserie' (Gaëtan wolfed down his little pain au chocolat before I had time to grab a bite!). He then wanted to play in the play area outside but there was still some snow and it was very slippery. I bought a huge piece of Comté fruité at the market, then headed home a few moments before Zip arrived. We chatted, Gaëtan made his show (he was over-excited!) and got taped. When Jérôme arrived, I left with Zip to get the Japanese take-away (almost all the way up to the périph) and some pastries for dessert. When we got home, Fatou had already arrived and we sat down to eat our sushis. I hardly had time to eat a prawn one before I had to leave for my Grenadine meeting at 8.30pm. It was interesting but lasted for 3 hours! I was past hungry by that time and when I arrived home, the others were watching 'V for Vendetta' on the big screen. I ate some salad and my dessert, then joined them for the end of the film. I should have gone to bed when our guests left, but my mind was racing with what I had to do re: my new role as General Secretary. I gathered my thoughts in a little notebook (to be able to do a proper meeting summary later), then looked up a few details on the internet... I went to bed (and Jérôme as well) around 2am. Dear God, may the little one sleep tonight!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2711000603431229838-3501368135376021155?l=livelovelullaby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/feeds/3501368135376021155/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-daily-day-10.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/3501368135376021155'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/3501368135376021155'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-daily-day-10.html' title='December Daily - Day 10'/><author><name>Anne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03351760195962634693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TQalR3aPP-I/AAAAAAAAIUM/jDEDjDcEKj4/s72-c/Day10.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711000603431229838.post-3224760459167506068</id><published>2010-12-10T00:01:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-12-10T00:01:02.750+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='December daily'/><title type='text'>December Daily - Day 9</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;When I saw&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; the glorious weather this morning (blue sky + sunshine) and the snow that still covered our terrace, I knew right away what today's story would be. I had a great time photographing Gaëtan walking in the snow and enjoying being outside. The light was great (a bit too much sunshine but who is complaining?!), especially compared to these last few days.&lt;br /&gt;This meant that I could start working on today's page right away during Gaëtan's nap. I was so eager to play with the pictures I had just taken, that I started working on Day9 before I had even finished Day8.&lt;br /&gt;This also means more snow pictures for the third day in a row! Tomorrow should bring a nice change as we are planning to attend a Christmas play for toddlers with Gaëtan. This will be his first play: can't wait to see if he enjoys it (and if he behaves!)...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;page 1:&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TQFJyGQm_GI/AAAAAAAAITM/gZbzUA47F0E/s1600/Day9.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 313px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TQFJyGQm_GI/AAAAAAAAITM/gZbzUA47F0E/s400/Day9.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548797340919725154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Journaling: (on the picture) It makes me so happy to see you enjoy the snow!

We had breakfast, Jérôme left for work (and took the car although the streets still had snow on them) and I succeeded in getting Gaëtan all dressed up warmly to go play on the terrace in the snow. It was a glorious day with a blue sky &amp;amp; some sunshine and I took tons of pictures! Hopefully some of them will turn out ok. We came back inside, Gaëtan put some "normal" clothes on then we left for some grocery shopping. The little one wanted to walk on the pavement (still covered in icy snow) but agreed to sit in the prom after a few meters because he was slipping a lot (no kidding!). I had put my ski coat and my hiking boots and I was ok. I had a hard time pushing the prom in some areas but overall it was more fun than pain! We came home, had lunch (Knacki sausage for G - his favorite - a Kiri AND a yoghurt) then spend a little time playing in the livingroom before he took his nap. He had his snack, we made "quiche lorraine" then Jérôme came home fairly early. Yay! He was supposed to go to a company evening but he's still feeling sick. Moreover I thought I had a Grenadine meeting tonight at 8.30pm so someone had to stay home with Gaëtan... the reality is that the meeting is TOMORROW night! Oh my, I'm losing my head now...&lt;br /&gt;Jérôme and Gaëtan played wolf (Jérôme chasing G with a blanket, making wolf sounds then finally catching him in the blanket and putting him on the couch. I love love love hearing them play and laugh together. Tonight's dinner was another nightmare: Gaëtan ate 5 spoonfuls of his soup+ pasta then decided he didn't want more... Jérôme tried adding pepper or butter but without much success. Of course, he did ask for a Kiri nevertheless... So another evening when the little one will go to bed without having eaten much... It's driving me crazy.&lt;br /&gt;The only highlight of the evening was eating a piece of quiche lorraine in front of "Lie to me", a show I really like (esp. Tim Roth).

It was great to chat with Sophie and to see other mums that are also going to be more involved. Then I went to the art &amp;amp; craft store to buy some felt (want to make a garland like Elise for Gaëtan's birthday this Sunday). It started raining/snowing and of course I hadn't taken any umbrella nor gloves. I was freezing when I came back home with Gaëtan but it was beautiful to see the urban landscape covered in snow. It feels very Chrismasy right now!&lt;br /&gt;It snowed all afternoon with no sign of stopping. Gaëtan didn't take a long nap (sigh) so we read, put some stickers in the activity book, had a snack... It was really funny: Gaëtan wanted to eat a kiwi... by himself, so I cut a kiwi in half then gave him a spoon and he almost managed to eat it properly (if you don't mind bits of kiwi being propelled all around in the kitchen!). I tried to make a short video of him eating but he wanted to see "bébé" on the screen. I'm not kidding I think he watched that little video (of himself) more than 15 times! Call him Narcissus ;)&lt;br /&gt;Jérôme had taken the car to go to work this morning so I was afraid he would get snowed in somethere on the road between La Défense and Issy but he managed to get home... eventually. It only took him more than 2h (instead of his usual 45min drive!). At least that gave him time to make a few more phone calls to family (his uncle Jean-Claude, his sister-in-law, his cousin Grégoire - the other twin - and his cousin Antoine). It was a near disaster at dinner yet again with Gaëtan: didn't want to eat more than 5 spoonful of his soup and ended up eating pasta with crème fraiche &amp;amp; pepper... I really don't know how I'll deal with this situation in the long run...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2711000603431229838-5684310186431966972?l=livelovelullaby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/feeds/5684310186431966972/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-daily-day-8.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/5684310186431966972'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/5684310186431966972'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-daily-day-8.html' title='December Daily - Day 8'/><author><name>Anne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03351760195962634693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TQFF4YG5YEI/AAAAAAAAIS0/fuo6ajGcyaI/s72-c/Day8.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711000603431229838.post-3681671604096791073</id><published>2010-12-08T15:03:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-12-08T16:06:20.962+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='December daily'/><title type='text'>December Daily - Day 7</title><content type='html'>Day 7 and I'm still doing this!!!

Not sure I like the result but never mind!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;page1:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TP-a4WT5K1I/AAAAAAAAISQ/rVMHTXhm9ls/s1600/Day7.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 304px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TP-a4WT5K1I/AAAAAAAAISQ/rVMHTXhm9ls/s400/Day7.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548323558796110674" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;page2:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TP-a9YawT-I/AAAAAAAAISY/fWbwI3xH3Uk/s1600/Day7bis.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TP-a9YawT-I/AAAAAAAAISY/fWbwI3xH3Uk/s400/Day7bis.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548323645261107170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Supplies:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; Scenic Route stickers, Love Elsie sticker (small snowflakes), Scrapworks Xmas paper (2007), 3D foam tape (for the 3 small pics), Ali Edwards brush (Holiday Wordart vol2), Purple Onion stamps (little bracket + frame), Bazzill blue gray cardstock, Sakura Quickie glue pen, red glitter, Uniball Signo red metal pen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;December 7: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gaëtan went to Grenadine this morning. It was cold and grey but ok. I spent the morning putting his toys away and tidying the place so that the cleaning lady could work efficiently! Jérôme is still sick and still at home. His temperature has come down though. It started snowing right around the time I was supposed to leave to get Gaëtan from daycare... so I took the car because I didn't want to get too wet, too cold and I especially didn't want to slip on the pavement. Apparently there's been a major crisis at Grenadine and several mums left the board. Sophie therefore asked for my help and I told her about my pregnancy: I can help now but won't be able to in a few months!! We'll see. Watching the snow fall was as usual really pretty, especially when you're safely in the car ;)&lt;br /&gt;Gaëtan played a bit with Jérôme on the computer (Kneebouncers.com) while I finished doing some paperwork (paying some taxes for Beauberty). Gaëtan went to nap and we had lunch.&lt;br /&gt;A pretty ordinary day (apart from J home sick) so far, so I'm still wondering what today's DD story will be.&lt;br /&gt;I found a Holiday sticker activity book in my special Holiday items cupboard so I took it out and played a bit with Gaëtan. I did most of the 'work' but he seemed to enjoy it... then lost interest fairly quickly! So it was back to reading more books, then off to take a shower with Daddy, then dinner (he ate - hooray!). We spend the rest of the evening on the phone with various family members telling them the good news: my grandmother (who had to sit down when she heard it will be twins), Jérôme's parents (who were delighted!), Jérôme's cousin Nicolas (himself a twin, offering lots of advice), Jérôme's aunt and uncle (happy &amp;amp; having a laugh: now it's OUR turn!) and finally Jérôme's brother Laurent (very excited and a bit emotional). What an exciting evening!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2711000603431229838-3681671604096791073?l=livelovelullaby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/feeds/3681671604096791073/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-daily-day-7.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/3681671604096791073'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/3681671604096791073'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-daily-day-7.html' title='December Daily - Day 7'/><author><name>Anne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03351760195962634693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TP-a4WT5K1I/AAAAAAAAISQ/rVMHTXhm9ls/s72-c/Day7.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711000603431229838.post-6826109854841033579</id><published>2010-12-07T15:04:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-12-07T15:58:30.069+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='December daily'/><title type='text'>December Daily - Day 6</title><content type='html'>I was planning on decorating the tree yesterday but my husband is home sick  and  wasn't able to get the tree up... so that will be a great story for  another day ;)&lt;br /&gt;The day was pretty gloomy up until we made some gingerbread people with my 2yo: highlight of the day + good story for my December Daily page!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;page1:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TP5KsrLEgaI/AAAAAAAAIRs/J_b9J4bx2m8/s1600/Day6.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TP5KsrLEgaI/AAAAAAAAIRs/J_b9J4bx2m8/s400/Day6.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547953922330886562" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Journaling: I fell in love with this Gingerbread people kit last Wednesday at WHSmith: on the one hand, I found the shape cutter really cute; on the other I was curious to see how they tasted.

Sigh...]&lt;br /&gt;Jérôme was sick (coughing + high temp) so stayed home and booked an appointment with the GP at 4pm. Gaëtan was home with me and we played and read some books in the morning. We then went to the postoffice to send THE letter (to Jérôme's parents, telling them about the twins) and a parcel (to Italy, containing our gift for Chloé's birth). A quick detour to Monoprix for some grocery shopping, then it was back home for lunch. Huge success at lunchtime: Gaëtan ate almost all his meal + yoghurt and had a piece of chocolate chip brioche. Nap for Gaëtan, craft/internet time for me and computer time for Jérôme.&lt;br /&gt;I couldn't decorate the tree because it still wasn't up and installed in  the living room (Jérôme wasn't feeling well enough to take care of  that... and I can't blame him) so when Gaëtan woke up (it was a looooong nap), I decided to bake some cookies with him: I love baking and I love that I can do it with him! Added bonus: great opportunity to take some pics of the two of us baking, so that I could finally feature in my December daily ;)&lt;br /&gt;In the evening, we chatted with my brother and sister-in-law on Skype, watched Vale nursing little Chloé and told them the good news! Can't wait to see them at Christmas!! And finally, I spent some time chatting online with Marie, which was fun.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2711000603431229838-6826109854841033579?l=livelovelullaby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/feeds/6826109854841033579/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-daily-day-6.html#comment-form' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/6826109854841033579'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/6826109854841033579'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-daily-day-6.html' title='December Daily - Day 6'/><author><name>Anne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03351760195962634693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TP5KsrLEgaI/AAAAAAAAIRs/J_b9J4bx2m8/s72-c/Day6.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711000603431229838.post-8247013128053841713</id><published>2010-12-06T15:15:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-12-07T15:01:06.442+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='December daily'/><title type='text'>December Daily - Day 5</title><content type='html'>The weather yesterday was dreadful (rainy and grey) so I didn't take many pictures and they were all horrible... Not a great start for my December Daily page!&lt;br /&gt;So I kept things even more simpler than usual: a photo collage with a few words (things we bought/didn't buy/did at each store) + some memorabilia from both stores (bag + cloth &lt;span&gt;tag).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;page1:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TP0Lx_mU0gI/AAAAAAAAIRA/678plIKzOg4/s1600/Day5.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 311px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TP0Lx_mU0gI/AAAAAAAAIRA/678plIKzOg4/s400/Day5.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547603269503996418" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;page2:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TP0L9PCufKI/AAAAAAAAIRI/umgUilhnC0k/s1600/Day5bis.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 314px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TP0L9PCufKI/AAAAAAAAIRI/umgUilhnC0k/s400/Day5bis.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547603462628211874" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Supplies: Love Elsie stickers (2007), Scenic Route stickers (2008), Ikea shopping bag, fleece tag.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;December 5:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;We had a good night sleep... bless the sweet child ;) It looks like my belly is getting bigger by the day... weirdest feeling... We had some home-baked (not home-made though!) croissants for breakfast, then drove to IKEA Thiais to get our tree and buy a small table + chair for Gaëtan's room. We managed not to buy TOO many things other than the couple of items on our list: quite a feast! We then ate lunch at IKEA: Gaëtan and I had Swedish meatballs (Jérôme took some smoked salmon + the chicken special) and he ate them all. He's a meat-lover this one! Jérôme is still coughing like an old man with pneumonia and isn't feeling great. I hope it gets better soon...&lt;br /&gt;Gaëtan fell asleep in the car although it was still fairly early (hardly 1pm), woke up when we arrived home and couldn't get back to sleep in his bed. So we got him up around 3.30pm and went to Decathlon [sporting goods store] to find some winter gear for Gaëtan (we're spending Christmas in the mountains, then are going again in March). Before leaving we decided to have Gaëtan try the snowpants from last year to see if they still fitted (it will do for now but will be too small really soon) and he didn't want to take them off when we left! Once there we didn't find much, except a fleece for the boys and I felt exhausted when we got home. I had to lay down for a while and went to bed around 9.30pm which is VERY unsual for me!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2711000603431229838-8247013128053841713?l=livelovelullaby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/feeds/8247013128053841713/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-daily-day-5.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/8247013128053841713'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/8247013128053841713'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-daily-day-5.html' title='December Daily - Day 5'/><author><name>Anne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03351760195962634693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TP0Lx_mU0gI/AAAAAAAAIRA/678plIKzOg4/s72-c/Day5.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711000603431229838.post-2032801006253623478</id><published>2010-12-05T15:08:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-12-05T15:15:32.200+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='December daily'/><title type='text'>December Daily - Day 4</title><content type='html'>Saturday was busy and I hardly got a chance to work on my page in the evening. Add an annoying computer that was refusing to download my Day3 pages + my Day4 pictures and I was getting really frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;But I prevailed, the computer yielded and I managed to post my Day3 pages and start working on my Day4 pages. The good thing was that I knew which pictures I would use for the front and for the back page + which stories I would tell. The bad thing was that by 10pm I was feeling really tired (somebody said twins?) and it was hard to concentrate on my modest Photoshop skills!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, here is what I came up with (sorry about the quality of the pics but the light is just terrible with this grey light):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;page1:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TPud7v1igAI/AAAAAAAAIQk/IXKoSQan1zA/s1600/Day4.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 314px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TPud7v1igAI/AAAAAAAAIQk/IXKoSQan1zA/s400/Day4.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547201015815766018" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Journaling:&lt;/span&gt; Some falling snow and a small fire in the fireplace... could there be a more perfect setting to tell my parents and sister that we're expecting babies in June?

Gaëtan woke up several times between 1.30 and 3am and we couldn't understand what was wrong: was it a bad dream, was he too cold, was it his clogged nose preventing him from breathing easily, was it hunger (he didn't eat anything at diner)...?? We were feeling pretty exhausted this morning but I was wide awake by 7.30am (sweet insomnia). I got up and decided to work peacefully (ie without a 2yo trying to get on my lap) on my December Daily. It started snowing pretty heavily by the time we all had breakfast so we left fairly early to go to my parents for lunch. The urban and forest landscape on our way there were beautiful. Jérôme fell down on my parents' driveway but I didn't although I was carrying Gaëtan and wasn't feeling very safe. We told my parents and sister the good news and they were really happy and excited! We watched some of their Mexico vacations pictures, had lunch, chatted while Gaëtan was napping, then left after he had his afternoon snack. The snow had stopped falling but we were afraid the roads would become icy after dark. We luckily had a smooth drive home. Gaëtan took his shower, then ate all his Bledina soup with pasta: hooray, such a relief since he only ate 2 cherry tomatoes and a piece of cheese at lunch. It was homemade croque-monsieurs for the grown-ups!&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow we're planning to go to IKEA to get our tree + buy a small table and chair for Gaëtan's room.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2711000603431229838-2032801006253623478?l=livelovelullaby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/feeds/2032801006253623478/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-daily-day-4.html#comment-form' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/2032801006253623478'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/2032801006253623478'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-daily-day-4.html' title='December Daily - Day 4'/><author><name>Anne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03351760195962634693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TPud7v1igAI/AAAAAAAAIQk/IXKoSQan1zA/s72-c/Day4.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711000603431229838.post-7246133182757309254</id><published>2010-12-04T20:47:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-12-04T21:52:11.853+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='December daily'/><title type='text'>December Daily - Day 3</title><content type='html'>Day 3 and I'm still doing this!

Gaëtan was supposed to be at daycare and Jérôme at work but we didn't hear the alarm clock and Gaëtan was unusually still asleep. Well, at least we were rested ;)&lt;br /&gt;Gaëtan spent the rest of the morning + lunch at daycare while I wrote my DD Day2 blog post. We stopped at Monoprix on the way back from Grenadine to buy a couple of items, incl. diapers (we are running seriously low). He took a fairly short nap (compared to yesterday) and woke up around 3pm. I managed to call the mason contractor (it turns out they sent the final quotation to the house in Auvergne!). After his afternoon snack, we baked an apple cake for tomorrow's lunch at my parents. He's getting quite good with the sugar, but is still a bit too enthusiastic when mixing!&lt;br /&gt;Can't wait to tell my parents and sister the good news tomorrow... and see their surprise!! Hopefully only squeals of delight and no heart attack ;)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2711000603431229838-7246133182757309254?l=livelovelullaby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/feeds/7246133182757309254/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-daily-day-3.html#comment-form' title='2 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/7246133182757309254'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/7246133182757309254'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-daily-day-3.html' title='December Daily - Day 3'/><author><name>Anne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03351760195962634693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TPqpnJ3_2WI/AAAAAAAAIP4/Ap3orTMHpMs/s72-c/Day3.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711000603431229838.post-3106050278863338540</id><published>2010-12-03T13:45:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2010-12-03T23:18:55.576+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='December daily'/><title type='text'>December Daily - Day 2</title><content type='html'>I worked on my second page for Day1 yesterday, then on Day2 and made 2 pages as well...

Gaëtan stayed at home with me and we took the Xmas ornaments, decorations and the nativity set out of the cupboard. He was VERY interested in the big IKEA balls that he kept naming "ballon" (ie soccer ball). It was really cute so I decided to hang them in his room. Then he played with the Advent village I bought years ago on sale in London (best bargain buy ever!).&lt;br /&gt;He then took a really big nap after lunch (allowing me time to work on my DD pages + answer a few emails + call the mason contractor in Auvergne), so the rest of the afternoon was spent reading some books and listening to some Christmas music (I bought a Christmas songs for children CD - in English - yesterday).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2711000603431229838-3106050278863338540?l=livelovelullaby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/feeds/3106050278863338540/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-daily-day-2.html#comment-form' title='4 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/3106050278863338540'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/3106050278863338540'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-daily-day-2.html' title='December Daily - Day 2'/><author><name>Anne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03351760195962634693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TPjw3fAvCpI/AAAAAAAAIPM/7DaOA0SR03k/s72-c/P1080989.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711000603431229838.post-7077955633535769814</id><published>2010-12-02T16:00:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2010-12-03T23:22:19.750+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='December daily'/><title type='text'>December Daily - Day 1 (updated)</title><content type='html'>Keeping it very simple for the moment, although I have plans (but will I find the time?) to add more pictures + words on the other side of this page &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;(done on Day2 and updated)&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TPe1nU59vlI/AAAAAAAAIOw/WHo3kFOOUHY/s1600/P1080987.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 306px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TPe1nU59vlI/AAAAAAAAIOw/WHo3kFOOUHY/s400/P1080987.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5546101153361411666" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;Update page2:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TPj0S3Lg39I/AAAAAAAAIPc/sJeGGkTg9U0/s1600/P1080988.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 307px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TPj0S3Lg39I/AAAAAAAAIPc/sJeGGkTg9U0/s400/P1080988.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5546451545993830354" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Journaling: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;I was &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;a bit disappointed with the Xmas street decorations (or lack of) around the WHSmith shop in Paris (Rivoli/Concorde/Vendôme), apart from the Guerlain shop which was absolutely breathtaking!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Supplies: Hero Arts alpha stamps, black Versafine ink, red Colorbox ink, Cherry Arte rubon number, Scenic Route sticker (2008 - red circle border + Wish), Ranger Diamond Stickles (on the 1), Love Elsie Noël sticker (2007).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday was a busy and emotional day (in a good way).

I didn't even finish the cover NOR found a suitable binding for the minibook and I didn't complete a single page (although I kept pictures and notes in a dedicated folder!).&lt;br /&gt;OK, moving on... it's embarrassing...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;What I learned in the process:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My previous December Daily albums were fun to put together because I wanted to mix different page sizes, different textures, different formats, play with inks or my sewing machine... I really wanted every page to be unique! That was a lot of fun (and work!) to put together... but I realized when the actual documentation phase started that it made things WAY too complicated for me to complete: I just didn't know what to do with these strange page sizes... and trying to make every single page unique was just too much work (not to mention time-consuming) on a daily basis!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;My December Daily 2010 book:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Overview + a few pages&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TO-P9eG15GI/AAAAAAAAINc/mNkzPCBADGw/s1600/IMG_5008.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TO-P9eG15GI/AAAAAAAAINc/mNkzPCBADGw/s400/IMG_5008.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543807952532923490" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TO-QHNS2HVI/AAAAAAAAINk/AinpgUcxAjA/s1600/IMG_5003.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TO-QHNS2HVI/AAAAAAAAINk/AinpgUcxAjA/s400/IMG_5003.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543808119818558802" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TO-Q9YGHKAI/AAAAAAAAIOE/1OOqkghJA20/s1600/IMG_5004.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TO-Q9YGHKAI/AAAAAAAAIOE/1OOqkghJA20/s400/IMG_5004.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543809050430875650" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TO-QLOpMbKI/AAAAAAAAINs/zvlu4uztOOc/s1600/IMG_5005.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TO-QLOpMbKI/AAAAAAAAINs/zvlu4uztOOc/s400/IMG_5005.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543808188900207778" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My December Daily 2010 album is - for all the aforementioned reasons - VERY simple at this point: 1 double-sided piece of pattern paper + 1 daily overlay printed on white Bazzill cardstock. Repeat from Day1 to Day25!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ali's use of transparency pages appealed to me BUT I didn't want to spend ANY money on new supplies (considering this one may also end up empty... ahem...). So I used left-over Christmas papers from years past, only bought &lt;a href="http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/10662"&gt;Ali's December Daily 6*8 overlays&lt;/a&gt;, repeated the same steps for each page and build my album fairly quickly.&lt;br /&gt;It would have been even quicker, had I not (stupidly?) decided to slightly change the size of my pages: a bit more work now in order to save me lots come December (well, that's the plan...)! I slightly decreased the size of Ali's overlays so that one portrait-oriented 6*4 picture (printed on my home-printed) would fit in the upper section of the overlay (leaving a bit of room to the right to glue some pretty paper, add a title, a quote... you name it).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So basically, each page could now just be one 6*4 picture + a bit of pretty paper/a title/a quote to the right + some journaling at the bottom: I think &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;even I&lt;/span&gt; can handle that at the end of a busy December day, even feeling exhausted and uninspired!!!&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, if I DO feel a bit more creative, there is still room to add more pictures/create a photo collage, add more journaling or more pretty artsy things... PERFECT!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is how it may look (in the simplest version, ie the laziest one!):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TO-0S6Mcv3I/AAAAAAAAIOM/I162yMvYezE/s1600/page1%2Bexpliqu%25C3%25A9e.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TO-0S6Mcv3I/AAAAAAAAIOM/I162yMvYezE/s400/page1%2Bexpliqu%25C3%25A9e.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543847903268487026" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TO-0h3O0weI/AAAAAAAAIOU/9FNPjL3lz3k/s1600/page2%2Bexpliqu%25C3%25A9e.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/TO-0h3O0weI/AAAAAAAAIOU/9FNPjL3lz3k/s400/page2%2Bexpliqu%25C3%25A9e.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543848160171180514" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't add any number on my patterned paper pages but am planning to do this each day.

Maybe a swimming class, a music class or a gym class... Going more regularly to the library and to the park... Hopefully it will also mean going to day-care for 1 or 2 afternoons per week (we're on several waiting lists) as he loooves being around other children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello September!&lt;br /&gt;Hello Fall!&lt;br /&gt;This summer has not been the sunniest/hottest (at least where we were staying), so I'm ready to start a new chapter and head into Fall. I love autumn foliage, I love autumn fruits (apples, pears, plums, nuts) and vegs (pumpkins, parsnips), I love the long anticipation of Christmas and the holiday season...&lt;br /&gt;I am especially looking forward to October, since my brother and sister-in-law will have their first baby around the 20th. I am sooo excited to meet you little miss C!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So hello September!&lt;br /&gt;Hello new dreams/hopes/projects for the coming months...

The way I was doing it was not working for me: instead of lifting my mood, it was boring and annoying me. I had either too many things to write down or not a single "new" item...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did &lt;a href="http://aliedwards.com"&gt;Ali&lt;/a&gt;'s Week in the Life project last week and decided to write down three things each evening that made me happy that day and for which I was grateful (just like Karen does every day). Surely I could do this for a week! Well it worked and was far easier than I could have imagined. So I've decided to do this for a month and see how that goes... So May will be my Gratitude Month and it seems fitting as this is also my birthday month!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;May 1st Gratitudes:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- preparing my stuff for tomorrow's crop - very exciting&lt;br /&gt;- starting my WITL project in Photoshop using Karen's templates and tweaking them (with some success) to meet my specific needs&lt;br /&gt;- a loving and very patient husband who was a great help today (I was in pain and feeling really down today)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;May 2nd:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-driving to and back from the crop with hardly any traffic - I love driving but loose my patience fairly quickly when stuck in traffic!&lt;br /&gt;- scrapbooking and chatting with friends&lt;br /&gt;- watching some dramatic sunshine-thunder clouds light on my way home - simply stunning&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And a very special thank you to &lt;a href="http://www.karenika.com/"&gt;Karen &lt;/a&gt;for keeping me inspired with her daily diary and gratitude posts!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2711000603431229838-2275542391506614655?l=livelovelullaby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/feeds/2275542391506614655/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/05/gratitude-in-may.html#comment-form' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/2275542391506614655'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/2275542391506614655'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/05/gratitude-in-may.html' title='Gratitude in May'/><author><name>Anne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03351760195962634693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S96hGVrbKoI/AAAAAAAAGN0/bF3N6jMnJsM/s72-c/DSC01458.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711000603431229838.post-340844514842640298</id><published>2010-04-03T00:21:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2010-04-03T00:46:41.440+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Picture spring - Day 1</title><content type='html'>Picture Spring is a workshop at Big Picture Scrapbooking taught by Tracey Clark from Shutter Sisters. I've registered and it started yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first prompt was "New beginnings" and was illustrated by a shot of a small seedling. I could think of a dozen plants on the terrace that are currently sprouting and took several pictures. I then thought about Gaëtan who has started walking a few days ago: this is really the beginning of a new era for him (and us!)... I realised however that I preferred to focus on nature as much as I could, so my final choice was this picture of our raspberry plant:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S7ZxIRXEesI/AAAAAAAAF7o/0vwayH7N2hw/s1600/Day1+-+Raspberry+bush.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S7ZxIRXEesI/AAAAAAAAF7o/0vwayH7N2hw/s400/Day1+-+Raspberry+bush.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455672385518992066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hesitated with these small germinating seeds or this one of our redcurrant plant.

March was a fairly good month (esp. the beginning) and I've managed to finish 5 LOs and a 6th is just waiting for my journaling.&lt;br /&gt;I have also started Dina Wakley's Art Journaling 101 class at Get It Scrapped and it's taking some of my time away from scrapbooking (not that I am complaining!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the 2 pages I did in February (March pages in a following post):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Portage:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S6m1sTzd3iI/AAAAAAAAF3A/Zhcyr21dQrk/s1600-h/Portage+p6.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 284px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S6m1sTzd3iI/AAAAAAAAF3A/Zhcyr21dQrk/s400/Portage+p6.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452088596743708194" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Supplies: Bazzill cardstock and October Afternoon papers; Thickers AC; frame Love Elsie; white rubons Basic Grey; journaling sticker Jenni Bowlin; brads and buttons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Journaling reads:&lt;br /&gt;(in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;French&lt;/span&gt;):  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Bien qu'un peu partagée sur cette expérience, j'ai vraiment beaucoup aimé porter Gaëtan en écharpe.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Au-delà des aspects pratiques, c'est la sensation de recréer un petit cocon où l'on sent son bébé tout contre soi qui est magique.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Et quand Gaëtan s'endormait dedans, j'avais juste envie que le temps s'arrête..."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photo: feb09; texte: feb10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(roughly translated in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;English&lt;/span&gt;): &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Although I have mixed feelings about this, I've loved carrying Gaëtan in a wrap.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In addition to the practical side of things, the feeling of recreating a little cocoon where you can feel your baby close to you is magical.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And when Gaëtan fell asleep in the wrap, I just wished time would stand still..."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Picture: feb09; journaling: feb10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 102);"&gt;En avant:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S6m10XUgpmI/AAAAAAAAF3I/wbNXm_LMeJo/s1600-h/En+avant+p7.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 280px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S6m10XUgpmI/AAAAAAAAF3I/wbNXm_LMeJo/s400/En+avant+p7.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452088735126562402" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Supplies: Fancy Pants papers; Fancy Pants stickers; AC Thickers; Cherry Arte star rubons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Journaling reads:&lt;br /&gt;(in &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;French&lt;/span&gt;): "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Voilà la façon dont tu te déplaces à 4 pattes: le genou gauche à terre et la jambe droite qui pousse sur le côté (jambe qui t'aidait déjà à avancer quand tu ne faisais que ramper).

Mais je crois qu'on tient le bon bout et je pense passer le reste de mon mois de mars à ranger/trier/rattraper mon retard dans les projets en cours et réfléchir à de nouveaux.&lt;br /&gt;J'espère aussi réussir à faire le point sur mes projets de début d'année et tirer les leçons de ce qui a marché ou non, et pourquoi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S54GusYvk7I/AAAAAAAAFzw/CZmlLQpxqzc/s1600-h/P1060673.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S54GusYvk7I/AAAAAAAAFzw/CZmlLQpxqzc/s400/P1060673.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448799998423569330" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;En attendant, un petit point sur les progrès de Gaëtan ces dernières semaines: IL MARCHE !!&lt;br /&gt;Difficile de le prendre en photo en action parce que ce n'est pas encore systématique, mais ça le devient doucement. La journée passée avec son presque jumeau Arthur (11 jours plus âgé que lui) qui marche nettement mieux a semblé le motiver pour aller de l'avant (au sens propre et figuré!) et j'ai vu de réels progrès ce WE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il a aussi profité de sa gastro pour faire sa 6è dent et arrive maintenant à grimper tout seul sur le canapé (il était très motivé hier soir par son papa qui mangeait des gâteaux apéro!). Mon petit bonhomme grandit et c'est très excitant de voir ses progrès jour après jour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La moins bonne nouvelle, c'est qu'il pleure maintenant quand je le laisse... même chez mes parents ce WE. Je crois vraiment que la journée où nous avons fait l'AR pour l'enterrement de la grand-mère de Jérôme et où il ne nous a pas vu du tout l'a marqué...&lt;br /&gt;Je sais que c'est de toute façon une phase de son développement et une étape qu'il a besoin de franchir, mais ça ne rend pas forcément les choses plus faciles. Heureusement que les pleurs ne durent pas longtemps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S54G59wenVI/AAAAAAAAFz4/jEziJXCGz3s/s1600-h/P1060717.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S54G59wenVI/AAAAAAAAFz4/jEziJXCGz3s/s400/P1060717.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448800192065084754" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Fasciné par le feu hier à Buc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Côté nourriture, après quasiment 10 jours à ne pas manger grand chose, il a retrouvé un appétit normal... mais il est encore très récalcitrant avec les morceaux. Ca ne lui posait pas de problème avant les vacances, donc j'attribue ça à la gastro et aux sensations qu'il a pu éprouver pendant ses vomissements. J'espère là encore que ça rentrera dans l'ordre progressivement. En attendant, je suis contente qu'il ait retrouvé bon appétit... mais moins qu'il se réveille maintenant systématiquement vers 6h30-7h du matin!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2711000603431229838-1035859751354402870?l=livelovelullaby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/feeds/1035859751354402870/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/03/random-catch-up-thoughts.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/1035859751354402870'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/1035859751354402870'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/03/random-catch-up-thoughts.html' title='Random catch-up thoughts'/><author><name>Anne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03351760195962634693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S54GusYvk7I/AAAAAAAAFzw/CZmlLQpxqzc/s72-c/P1060673.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711000603431229838.post-8061605961158487047</id><published>2010-03-03T09:44:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2010-03-03T10:03:28.410+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Quelles vacances!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S44lhxMbrmI/AAAAAAAAFxA/k55Xx6jlSKk/s1600-h/P1060500.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S44lhxMbrmI/AAAAAAAAFxA/k55Xx6jlSKk/s400/P1060500.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444330261608902242" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nous revenons tout juste d'une semaine de vacances avec des amis dans les Alpes et nous n'avons jamais été aussi crevés! Il faut dire qu'on a enchainé les tuiles, plusieurs jours de mauvais temps et les petites maladies, notamment la gastro de Gaëtan au moment du retour... Bref, je crois que ça mérite un petit album ou au moins une page pour qu'on n'oublie pas!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je commence donc enfin à dominer les montagnes de linge sale (mais pas encore à en voir le bout), mais je n'ai pas encore suffisamment de motivation pour m'attaquer au rangement de l'appartement... On va parer au plus pressé et remettre le reste à la semaine prochaine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En attendant, on fait la tournée des grands-parents qui veulent voir un peu Gaëtan: petite visite chez mes BP hier en fin d'après-midi et déjeuner chez mes parents aujourd'hui. Demain, c'est journée scrap &amp;amp; papotage avec Corinne et vendredi, ce serait bien d'aller faire des grosses courses avant l'arrivée de Karen &amp;amp; François ce WE... parce que dimanche, c'est le semi-marathon de Paris, le 1er que va courir Jérôme (avec Franou) après ses deux 10km de cet automne (à Rennes en octobre et à Issy en décembre)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Une semaine bien chargée finalement, qui me laisse peu de temps pour scrapper car j'ai la tête bien trop préoccupée par tout ce que j'ai à faire.

Je me suis quand même fait un petit plaisir en mangeant un Magnum en dessert!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Petit tour au marché pour faire le plein de légumes pour la semaine de repas de Gaëtan. J'ai encore pas mal d'épluchage en prévision!!&lt;br /&gt;C'était mignon ce soir quand Gaëtan a essayé de remettre le bouchon du biberon une fois terminé et posé sur la table!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce qui est adorable aussi, c'est qu'il fait des bisous depuis cette semaine... ou je devrais dire, des "bruits" de bisous... et comme pour les calins, ça a d'abord commencé par ses peluches!! Il les prend dans ses bras et fait des bruits de bisous. Il a aussi 'fait' des bisous à Jérôme ce matin quand ce dernier est parti travailler... adorable!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour contrebalancer l'aspect adorable et 'clown' (quand il fait des big grins en plissant les yeux, montrant les dents et penchant un peu la tête en arrière), il a aussi parfois des petits mouvements de colère quand on lui interdit d'aller fouiller dans un placard etc... J'espère que ça ne va pas s'aggraver! J'ai bien avoir un petit bonhomme mignon moi ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Et aujourd'hui, pendant que je rangeais de mon côté les piles qui s'entassaient depuis Noël sur le dessus du bahut du salon, Gaëtan en profitait pour vider les 2 paniers à jouets et enlever toutes les pièces du train en bois pour les disséminer dans TOUTE la pièce... preuve à l'appui:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S3pooD1hIAI/AAAAAAAAFss/9TEDhwlbNXc/s1600-h/Feb12.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S3pooD1hIAI/AAAAAAAAFss/9TEDhwlbNXc/s400/Feb12.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438774537437126658" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jérôme est encore parti courir à plus de 22h, malgré la nuit et malgré le froid...

Au final, Jérôme est retourné chercher la voiture pendant que nous l'attendions en bas du chemin... avec petite séance de chatouilles pour Gaëtan et moi, et de photos pour Marie!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le journaling:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"C'est l'une de mes séries de photos préférées, prise à la fin d'une balade vers Cordon avec Marie et papa. Je te fais rire avec des guilis sur les cuisses et tu as l'air si heureux... j'espère que tu le resteras le plus longtemps possible."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;{Child of mine}&lt;br /&gt;Petit soucis avec cette page... je l'avais commencé en 30*30 parce que ça me donnait plus d'espace pour répartir les éléments, mais je n'arrivais pas à être complètement convaincue par la mise en page, surtout le bloc journaling sous les photos... Je me suis pourtant lancée et j'ai fait la page suivante:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S26S_5qxGPI/AAAAAAAAFq8/5iRKEvBIq7s/s1600-h/Child+of+mine+v1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 398px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S26S_5qxGPI/AAAAAAAAFq8/5iRKEvBIq7s/s400/Child+of+mine+v1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435443426792380658" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ah mais vraiment, ça me chagrinait cette partie journaling... je trouvais vraiment que ça cassait les lignes de la page et que ça tombait un peu comme un cheveu sur la soupe ces 2 grosses accolades... Et j'ai donc fait ce que je n'avais jamais fait avant: j'ai coupé le haut et le bas de la page pour la transformer en A4 et me débarrasser de ce journaling inesthétique à mes yeux. Bien sûr, impossible de ne pas le conserver: j'ai donc ôté délicatement les accolades et je l'ai retaillé pour en faire un mini file folder glissé sous la photo de Gaëtan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Du coup, la version finale donne ça:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S26TyPyWXSI/AAAAAAAAFrE/gh_8fA3vPu0/s1600-h/Child+of+mine+p5.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 288px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S26TyPyWXSI/AAAAAAAAFrE/gh_8fA3vPu0/s400/Child+of+mine+p5.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435444291723222306" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Alors évidemment, ce n'est pas la panacée car les éléments occupent trop de place dans la page et qu'il n'y a pas assez de "breathing room" à mon goût. Si j'étais partie directement sur du A4, j'aurais sans doute rogné un peu les photos, resserrer les bandelettes de papier et regroupé l'ensemble des éléments vers le centre de la page... mais finalement, je retombe quand même plutôt bien sur mes pattes.&lt;br /&gt;Et pour le journaling, il est là:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S26Ukv_OM0I/AAAAAAAAFrM/ORsK6FJzGJY/s1600-h/Child+of+mine+zoom.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S26Ukv_OM0I/AAAAAAAAFrM/ORsK6FJzGJY/s400/Child+of+mine+zoom.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435445159360607042" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Papiers Bazzill Kraft et October Afternoon Farm Fresh; alpha Thickers AC; alpha sticker Provocraft; chipboards Scenic Route; die étoile QK; fleur papier Prima; brads Bazzill.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Note to self&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Je suis contente d'avoir réussi, malgré mes prises de tête (notamment sur la mise en page de la 2ème page) et mes hésitations, à m'être lancée et avoir mis ces histoires/anecdotes sur le papier. 5 pages en 1 mois, c'est quasiment autant que ce que j'ai réalisé en 2009 (sans compter les nombreux mini-albums cela dit).

Et je ne peux qu'être d'accord aujourd'hui ;)&lt;br /&gt;La semaine a été longue, bizarre avec le rythme de sommeil de Gaëtan, éprouvante avec sa chute et j'ai hâte de passer à autre chose. Et ça signifie aussi que nous serons à J-15 de nos vacances à Combloux avec Karen, François et les enfants!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En attendant, Gaëtan a repris un rythme un peu plus normal: réveil à 8h ce matin... je me suis faite avoir et n'avais pas eu le temps de petit-déjeuner. Je me rends compte que je trouve ça dur de m'occuper de lui en ayant le ventre vide et le cerveau encore embrumé (et sevré de ma tasse de café au lait du matin)... d'autant plus que je ne peux pas ensuite manger tranquillement car il faut 1) le surveiller d'un oeil (ou 2!), et 2) éviter qu'il ne soit trop collant en réclamant un bout de mes tartines!! Bref, pas la meilleure façon de démarrer la journée.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enfin bref, comme en plus il n'a fait qu'à peine 45min de sieste ce matin, nous sommes sortis faire des courses pour le déjeuner de demain midi avec l'oncle François M. Il était de meilleure humeur ensuite, mais il n'a pas bronché quand j'ai été le coucher ;)&lt;br /&gt;En attendant, j'ai passé toute sa sieste à mettre le blog à jour avec les photos de ces derniers jours... et comme d'habitude, je suis parfois un peu 'sèche' sur les Daily gratitudes... J'espère que ça ira mieux au fur et à mesure!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sinon, je suis toujours en train de repenser au film vu hier soir avec Laurent (qui a passé la soirée avec nous) "The Watchmen"... assez perturbant car pas du tout dans la veine classique des super-héros... et la fin est carrément "immorale" dans le genre "la fin justifie effectivement tous les moyens"!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Feb5 - 365 (36)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; - Shadows on the living room's radiator.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S2w8dc7XzZI/AAAAAAAAFqE/NJfAVG9J7-4/s1600-h/Feb5.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S2w8dc7XzZI/AAAAAAAAFqE/NJfAVG9J7-4/s400/Feb5.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434785327008435602" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Daily gratitude: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Gaëtan's naps&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know it's good for him to get some sleep in order to enjoy his day and assimilate everything he experiences... but it is also SO good for me! Gaëtan's nap means quiet time for myself. I may have some "chores" to do (washing up, laundry, tidying, meal preparation...) but it is nevertheless some "me"-time when I don't have to look out for him, worry that he's going to hurt himself or grab something he should'nt, hear him cry in frustration etc... But of course, me-time also means being able to enjoy my meal quietly, spending time on the Internet or scrapbooking. And this is priceless!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2711000603431229838-4419276427446512148?l=livelovelullaby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/feeds/4419276427446512148/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/02/tgif.html#comment-form' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/4419276427446512148'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/4419276427446512148'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/02/tgif.html' title='TGIF'/><author><name>Anne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03351760195962634693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S2w8dc7XzZI/AAAAAAAAFqE/NJfAVG9J7-4/s72-c/Feb5.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711000603431229838.post-1040824473056158552</id><published>2010-02-04T18:39:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-02-05T14:31:42.939+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gratitude'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gaetan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diary'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='365'/><title type='text'>Plus de peur que de mal...</title><content type='html'>J'ai cru que mon coeur s'était arrêté hier soir quand j'ai vu Gaëtan tomber de la table à langer... il suffit effectivement d'une seconde d'inattention, d'un bébé énervé, d'une maman énervée (et donc sans doute plus distraite que d'habitude)... bref, je n'ai toujours pas bien compris ce qui s'était passé, sauf que Gaëtan est tombé la tête la première par terre hier soir juste avant d'aller se coucher...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparemment, plus de peur que de mal: il a pleuré un moment mais pas excessivement fort, on l'a bercé/consolé longtemps et on l'a couché après lui avoir donné du Doliprane. On a appelé mon beau-frère Laurent qui est pédiatre (pendant sa garde "test" à l'hôpital de Levallois) qui nous a dit qu'il fallait surveiller s'il vomissait ou était désorienté, mais sinon que ce n'était pas trop grave... Il s'est endormi assez rapidement je suis allée le voir très régulièrement jusqu'au moment de m'endormir, je l'ai entendu un peu vers 5h (son heure habituelle de petit réveil nocturne) ce qui m'a rassuré...&lt;br /&gt;Ce matin, il va très bien, à part un bleu sur le haut du front (pas vraiment visible sur la photo ci-dessous)... mais moi j'ai plus de mal à m'en remettre; quand j'y repense, j'ai vraiment le coeur serré et très mauvaise conscience... et je ne sais pas si j'ai envie que ça passe, histoire que je fasse encore plus gaffe à l'avenir...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S2wdH1cEZRI/AAAAAAAAFoE/nS68NgEtkEk/s1600-h/IMG_2461.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S2wdH1cEZRI/AAAAAAAAFoE/nS68NgEtkEk/s400/IMG_2461.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434750870770443538" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le reste de la journée s'est passée normalement... enfin normalement selon le rythme actuel de Gaëtan:&lt;br /&gt;- réveil à 10h + petit-déj&lt;br /&gt;- jeux dans le salon, petit tour sur la terrasse avec maman qui fait un peu de jardinage (mais ça fait mal aux genoux la terrasse donc j'essaye de trouver un autre moyen de me déplacer! - cf photo ci-dessous) puis balade en poussette pour aller à la Poste et chercher les cravates de papa au pressing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S2wddYgLE_I/AAAAAAAAFoM/j3qeR6S5o6s/s1600-h/IMG_2481.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S2wddYgLE_I/AAAAAAAAFoM/j3qeR6S5o6s/s400/IMG_2481.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434751240960152562" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;- sieste à 12h (!)&lt;br /&gt;- réveil un peu avant 14h + déjeuner&lt;br /&gt;- étendage de la lessive avec maman + poussage de chariot dans le couloir&lt;br /&gt;- nouvelle balade en poussette pour retourner à la Poste (ils n'avaient pas encore le recommandé pour papa ce matin!) et passer à la médiathèque* pour rendre le CD d'Anne Sulvestre et en reprendre un autre&lt;br /&gt;- sieste vers 16h45 en rentrant&lt;br /&gt;- comme il est 18h30 et que je dors encore, maman va sans doute faire sauter le goûter et passer directement au dîner!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* médiathèque: j'adore!! Je pars explorer les rayons de la section musique à 4 pattes et je fais la causette aux bibliothécaires ou tout autre personne qui se trouve à côté de moi. Je n'ai nullement l'intention de rejoindre maman, même quand elle m'appelle; de toute façon, je la cherche quand même de temps en temps du regard, au cas où.&lt;br /&gt;Aujourd'hui, j'ai rejoint la section livres jeunesse en marchant et en tenant la main de maman. C'était fatiguant, j'étais en sueur en arrivant! Par contre, une fois que maman a posé la pousette dans un coin, c'est totale l'éclate dans la salle des tout-petits: je monte les grandes marches, j'escalade les coussins, je parcours les estrades de long en large en poussant des petits cris, je redescends les marches tête en avant (mais sans me faire mal, je fais super gaffe!) et le top, c'est quand un autre enfant arrive! Je lui fonce dessus, je le suis comme son ombre et j'essaye même d'attraper parfois le livre qu'il a en main (comme ça a l'air intéressant, je veux jeter un coup d'oeil!)... Ensuite, je repars en exploration en essayant d'aller vers la zone toilettes (maman dit 'Non', c'est trop nul...) et j'essaye de descendre les escaliers toujours tête en avant mais maman ne me laisse pas faire et s'escrime à me retourner et à me faire descendre les pieds devant (je comprends pas trop, c'est vraiment pas intuitif comme méthode!).&lt;br /&gt;Bref, c'est le pied la médiathèque et c'est encore plus l'extase le mercredi quand c'est bourré d'enfants (mais maman trouve que c'est un peu fatiguant/stressant de me courir après partout pour éviter que je ne jette des livres, que je tombe dans les escaliers ou que je me fasse piétiner par un plus grand...).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Feb4 - 365 (35) - &lt;/span&gt;Someone forgot to tell this little plant that it isn't spring yet!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S2wcqsQtrjI/AAAAAAAAFn8/VmMtwIf3WLc/s1600-h/IMG_2464.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S2wcqsQtrjI/AAAAAAAAFn8/VmMtwIf3WLc/s400/IMG_2464.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434750370090692146" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Daily gratitude: &lt;/span&gt;Public library&lt;br /&gt;I've only started going to Issy's médiathèque a few months ago (September?) and mainly use it for Gaëtan.

Il m'a déjà fait plus ou moins le coup hier en se réveillant vers 10h. Pour ne pas qu'il soit trop décalé, nous sommes partis faire une balade dans le parc Suzanne Lenglen (je voulais photographier les 1ers signes du printemps que j'avais repérés dimanche - cf montage photos ci-dessous) puis je lui ai donné son bain, histoire de ne pas le recoucher avant son déjeuner vers 13h. Par contre, je pensais qu'il allait faire une grosse sieste l'après-midi pour compenser l'absence de sieste matinale, mais il a dormi à peine 1h30 (ce qui est assez standard les jours où il a fait une sieste le matin)... Goûter vers 16h30, mais du coup, la fin d'après-midi a été longue et il était évidemment bien grognon vers 19h quand nos invités sont arrivés! Heureusement, le dîner lui a redonné un peu la pêche, surtout quand il a pu faire le tour des convives pour quémander un morceau de pain à chacun!! Il n'était cependant pas mécontent d'aller se coucher un peu avant 21h et on ne l'a pas entendu!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cela dit, j'imagine qu'il compense ce matin le manque de sommeil d'hier... C'est fou de réaliser à quel point le moindre écart à sa "routine" (si jamais il en a une) a un impact sur son rythme le jour suivant. Mais comme je me cale généralement sur son heure de lever, je suis bien embêtée quand il se réveille à une heure "indécente" pour le remettre en phase avec des horaires "normaux"...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;C'était la rubrique "ma vie de maman" du jour ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Feb3 - 365 (34)&lt;/span&gt; - Not easy drinking one's morning milk bottle single-handedly while hugging one's favorite soft toy!&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S2wd-Fj57nI/AAAAAAAAFoU/v_4b9LMb8aQ/s1600-h/DSC01421.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S2wd-Fj57nI/AAAAAAAAFoU/v_4b9LMb8aQ/s400/DSC01421.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434751802811215474" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Daily gratitude&lt;/span&gt;: Winter-flowering shrubs&lt;br /&gt;I am always so happy to see (and smell) the flowers of the winter-flowering shrub in the surrounding parks and gardens.

J'aime le fait d'avoir la surprise de découvrir les légumes que je n'aurais pas eu l'idée d'acheter et le challenge de trouver une manière de les utiliser.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dans mon panier aujourd'hui, il y avait:&lt;br /&gt;- 1 salade&lt;br /&gt;- 1kg de pommes de terre rouges&lt;br /&gt;- 2 artichauts violets&lt;br /&gt;- 1 chou vert frisé&lt;br /&gt;- 1 pomarine&lt;br /&gt;- 1 pomme d'or&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Autant vous dire que question challenge, je suis plutôt gâtée! Au-delà de la salade et des pommes de terre dont je suis familière, je n'ai jamais fait cuire d'artichaut, ni jamais cuisiné de chou vert... mais ce n'est rien à côté des 2 derniers légumes qui m'étaient totalement inconnus!! Alors merci le Campapier, petit dépliant joint à mon panier et qui contient, outre des informations sur les différents légumes, quelques recettes pour les cuisiner...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'y ai appris que la pomme d'or est aussi appelée mini courge, que sa chair rappelle le goût de l'artichaut et qu'il y a une recette où elle est farcie. La pomarine, nommée "Jack be little" dans les pays anglo-saxons, est une petite courge potiron qui ne se pèle pas, peut être mangée frite en dés comme des pommes de terre sautées avec ail et persil ou farcie elle aussi...&lt;br /&gt;Heureusement qu'il y a une petite photo à côté des dessins car je me demandais bien laquelle était laquelle!!&lt;br /&gt;Pour le chou vert, la recette ne m'inspire pas (un truc avec des pois chiches) et pour l'artichaut, j'hésite encore entre la recette  (une crème d'artichaut aux olives noires) et les faire nature avec le coeur pour Gaëtan et les feuilles pour nous... on verra bien!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Et comme je n'avais pas pris le panier de fruits, je suis passée au stand bio du marché pour acheter du complément pour Gaëtan: fenouil et céleri-rave pour les purées; oranges, bananes, clémentines et poires pour les desserts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Et en parlant de "chopping", je rentre dans ma phase "j'ai envie de me couper les cheveux car je ne les supporte plus et il faut les couper MAINTENANT!"... on va voir combien de temps j'arrive à tenir... peut-être uniquement jusqu'à demain matin où je profiterai de Jérôme qui pourra garder Gaëtan... à moins que ça n'attende la semaine prochaine où je laisserai Gaëtan à ses grands-parents qui reviennent lundi soir de Sanary...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;News de Gaëtan&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;C'était un peu la dèche côté fruits ces 2 derniers jours: le petit minot m'avait boulotté toutes les bananes et les clémentines de la corbeille à fruits et il ne me restait plus qu'un pamplemousse: j'ai déjà testé une fois, mais c'est vraiment trop acide pour lui! Du coup, je me suis rabattue sur des morceaux de pomme... et il a réussi à les manger à ma grande surprise: maintenant qu'il a des dents en haut et en bas (et qu'il sait s'en servir), il croque 'délicatement' un petit bout de pomme et le mâche entre ses gencives et/ou avec ses dents de devant. Mis à part le fait qu'il a tendance à continuer à enfourner les morceaux de pomme avant d'avoir avalé la bouchée d'avant (ce qui finit parfois en haut le coeur), il mange tout ça relativement proprement!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S2NL-GWJAkI/AAAAAAAAFl0/17oQCrY-9yE/s1600-h/P1060340.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S2NL-GWJAkI/AAAAAAAAFl0/17oQCrY-9yE/s400/P1060340.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432269105766400578" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S2NMBNAVknI/AAAAAAAAFl8/PSiV_nkkKDg/s1600-h/P1060341.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S2NMBNAVknI/AAAAAAAAFl8/PSiV_nkkKDg/s400/P1060341.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432269159093604978" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Et grande nouveauté ce midi: j'avais mis son bol de purée dans lequel était plongée sa cuillère devant lui et j'ai été cherché son bavoir... le temps de me retourner et il avait saisi la cuillère et essayait de la mettre dans sa bouche... woohoo mon bébé devient grand! Manifestement, il ne comprend pas bien pourquoi, quand maman est là pour lui donner, il devrait lui-même se saisir de la cuillère mais ça va venir...! Par contre, en mettant de la Vache qui rit dans la cuillère et en posant cette dernière devant lui, il s'empresse de s'en saisir pour la porter à sa bouche... pas folle la bête ;) Y'a des choses avec lesquelles on ne rigole pas !&lt;br /&gt;[du coup, j'ai préparé l'appareil photo pour le prendre en flagrant délit pendant son goûter - cf photos]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Côté marche, rien de bien neuf... en tout cas, au grand regret de Grand-père, aucune grande nouvelle à annoncer! Il est de plus en plus à l'aise debout en lâchant les 2 mains (devant les placards par ex.) et il le fait très fréquemment. Il est content de marcher derrière son chariot ou quand on lui tient les mains, mais il n'a pas encore eu THE déclic... affaire à suivre!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jan29 - 365 (29) - &lt;/span&gt;Organic fruit and vegetable galore today!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S2NLyKYByZI/AAAAAAAAFls/yheDcbCI1iE/s1600-h/IMG_2423.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S2NLyKYByZI/AAAAAAAAFls/yheDcbCI1iE/s400/IMG_2423.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432268900689627538" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Daily gratitude: &lt;/span&gt;Adhesive bandages&lt;br /&gt;Preparing Gaëtan's meals mean chopping A LOT of fruits and vegetables... which means that statistically I am bound to cut myself from time to time!

Je me rends compte que si je veux mettre plusieurs photos, il faut vraiment les imprimer en petit pour que ça soit harmonieux sur une page A4... ou bien passer au 30*30, mais ça voudrait dire changer d'album pour les pages sur Gaëtan... ce que je ne suis pas encore prête à faire!

Heureusement, la nounou de ma copine Aude a accepté (moyennant finances!) de garder Gaëtan en plus de la fille d'Aude. Un début de journée intense pour Gaëtan &amp;amp; moi avec réveil (électronique pour moi et par sa maman pour Gaëtan), petit-déj express, course pour attraper le tramway et arriver à 9h chez Aude porte d'Orléans! On n'a pas l'habitude de courir dès le matin nous ;)) Tout s'est bien passé; j'ai récupéré Gaëtan très curieux des agissements de la petite Marie et très à l'aise avec la nounou; on est rentré plus tranquillement qu'à l'aller; j'ai acheté un sandwich en lisant un SMS de Jérôme me disant qu'ils avaient de la neige et du soleil à Combloux et qu'ils déjeunaient à la petite Ravine (les veinards) et j'ai couché mon petit bonhomme en arrivant à la maison!&lt;br /&gt;Marie est ensuite venue après ses cours pour passer la soirée: arrivée juste avant que Gaëtan ne se couche, on s'est siroté une bouteille de cidre pendant un repas réconfortant (à défaut d'être light!) et on a papoté pendant un looooong moment (et elle m'a fait quelques petits massages qui ont fait beaucoup de bien à mon dos et mes épaules de maman!) et on s'est couché à point d'heure... vraiment très très tard!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Samedi&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Dur dur le réveil donc, même si Gaëtan a bien dormi. Petites courses chez Monop pendant la sieste de Gaëtan, histoire d'avoir de quoi préparer le déjeuner du midi avec Maman et Michel. A l'origine, ce devait être one-pan chicken with butternut, sage and red onion: je n'ai même pas cherché la sauge à cette saison et je n'ai pas trouvé de butternut, ni d'oignon rouge... autant dire que ça s'est transformé en patate douce et oignon normal et c'était très bon quand même ;) Maman avait apporté un brownie et on s'est régalé!&lt;br /&gt;Petite soirée tranquilou après leur départ en fin d'après-midi... je voulais me coucher tôt pour rattraper mon sommeil en retard, mais manque de bol, je suis tombée sur une émission hommage à Super Nanny décédée récemment, puis sur Rendez-vous en terre inconnue avec Timsit en Indonésie... bref, encore un coucher à 1h du mat (car je n'ai pas pu m'empêcher de lire quelques pages de Pride &amp;amp; Prejudice en prime!). Il est vraiment temps que Jérôme rentre pour que je sois plus raisonnable!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dimanche&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Aujourd'hui, je dois normalement voir Aude cet après-midi vers l'heure du goûter, mais on doit se rappeler pour se dire où on se retrouve. Ca dépendait notamment du temps, mais vue la grisaille ambiante, je préfèrerais me retrouver bien au chaud quelque part chez elle ou ici! En tout cas, les pages de ces dernières semaines m'ont vraiment donné envie de scrapper plus régulièrement. Il faudrait que je relise les idées d'histoires que j'avais brainstormées lors de la 1ère semaine de Yesterday &amp;amp; Today...&lt;br /&gt;En attendant, j'ai enfin réussi à trouver le moyen de récupérer les photos stockées dans la mémoire de mon téléphone (il suffisait de lui demander gentiment de les transférer sur la mémoire externe, ie le memory stick!). Je vais donc pouvoir mettre à jour mes photos 365 et les transférer sur Flickr.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Note to self&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;[Je reprends l'excellente idée de Karen Grünberg d'inclure de temps en temps une "Note to self": quelque chose qu'on a remarqué et dont on veut se souvenir; un moment pour réfléchir à notre fonctionnement et essayer de l'améliorer etc...]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Je me rends compte que je commence à avoir un peu de mal à écrire mes Daily gratitudes. Non que je manque d'idées (je me suis fait une petite liste au début du mois), mais je m'aperçois que je trouve ça plus facile/logique d'écrire quelque chose en rapport avec ma journée... hors celles-ci se ressemblent quand même beaucoup ces derniers temps et si je suis toujours reconnaissante pour plein de petites choses, ce sont souvent les mêmes qui reviennent jour après jour...&lt;br /&gt;Il faudrait certainement que je fasse un nouveau brainstorming en faisant 2 colonnes: une pour les petites gratitudes du quotidien (je suis sûre de ne pas en avoir fait le tour!) et celles un petit peu plus "exceptionnelles".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jan24 - 365 (24)&lt;/span&gt; - Gaëtan's favorite soft toys to chew on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S1xVzw19-EI/AAAAAAAAFdk/S__nbGe3rlU/s1600-h/Jan24.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S1xVzw19-EI/AAAAAAAAFdk/S__nbGe3rlU/s400/Jan24.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430309598474926146" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Daily gratitude&lt;/span&gt;: My mum's chocolate brownie&lt;br /&gt;I am not a HUGE chocolate fan but I do like it.

This has changed a lot in the past few months and weeks and I am very grateful for it. We spent much more time here as it has become our family room: Gaëtan's  playroom, the room where we watch tv or play Wii games, read some books while listening to some music, hang around to keep an eye on the little one...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jan22 - 365 (22) &lt;/span&gt;- Little pansy bravely enduring the cold and wet winter days.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S1xWbVzfReI/AAAAAAAAFds/anEu5YGxjtg/s1600-h/Jan22.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S1xWbVzfReI/AAAAAAAAFds/anEu5YGxjtg/s400/Jan22.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430310278411535842" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Daily gratitude&lt;/span&gt;: Tramway&lt;br /&gt;This is such a nicer way of travelling than the underground (although I love the métro - more on this another day!), especially nowadays as I avoid the pains of climbing up and down thousands of stairs with a stroller.

Oui je sais, une folie, 2 pages en 1 semaine, ça frise l'overdose ;) Je pensais faire une page pour Yesterday &amp;amp; Today car j'avais les 2 photos idéales pour la page de la semaine 7, mais la nouvelle imprimante a fait des siennes et n'a jamais voulu m'imprimer ma photo... Au lieu de m'arracher les cheveux, j'ai dégainé une autre photo et des papiers mignons... mais j'ai bloqué assez rapidement avec la mise en page... grrr... du coup, là encore, plutôt que de laisser passer l'envie en essayant de forcer l'inspiration, j'ai dégainé une AUTRE photo et d'autres papiers pour finalement faire la page suivante:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S1iEkcufL-I/AAAAAAAAFak/lPbbRaimrVI/s1600-h/IMG_2337.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 294px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S1iEkcufL-I/AAAAAAAAFak/lPbbRaimrVI/s400/IMG_2337.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429235112516464610" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Papiers Bazzill Kraft et Toga Dinosaures; alpha Toga; tampon Florilèges; stickers Making Memories; encre Versafine sépia; stylo noir.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le journaling:&lt;br /&gt;"5 dents au compteur aujourd'hui (2 sur la photo)... un potentiel encore énorme de pleurs, de nuits agitées, de pipettes de Doliprane, de machouillages de figurines en caoutchouc...! Courage mon chaton, plus que 15..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hier j'ai été faire un tour à Vélizy2 avec Gaëtan: au programme, faire un peu les soldes pour le petit bonhomme et faire le plein de produits ménagers et produits pour bébé chez Auchan. Je n'ai pas eu l'impression de trouver grand-chose, mais j'ai acheté 2-3 vêtements dans quasiment chaque boutique visitée (Vertbaudet, Cyrillus, Petit Bateau, H&amp;amp;M et Auchan) donc au final, ça finit par faire! C'était bien sympa cette petite virée, même si ça fait sauter la sieste du matin ET de l'après-midi à Gaëtan. Il dort un peu sur le trajet du retour, mais ce n'est pas bien long et généralement, il ne réussit pas à se rendormir quand je le couche en revenant à la maison.&lt;br /&gt;Sinon, Zip et Fatou sont venus à la maison courir avec Jérôme (ils se motivent sérieusement pour le semi-marathon de Paris le 7 mars), puis sont restés diner. C'est super à chaque fois de voir Gaëtan et Zip: ils sont toujours très intéressés l'un par l'autre!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En attendant, ce matin, c'était visite chez le pédiatre pour vacciner Gaëtan. Il était tout sourire dans la salle d'attente et faisait du charme à une petite fille de 3 mois et à sa maman, mais il s'est mis à pleurer dès que je l'ai posé tout nu sur la table d'examen du pédiatre... Bref, gros pleurs mais ça ne dure pas trop longtemps. Petit tour à la poste pour poster les courriers de Jérôme et acheter une boîte pour poster le cadeau de Lucas avant qu'il ne s'envole pour les States dans 3 semaines; puis dépôt des 2 cravates tachées au pressing... J'ai recouché Gaëtan en rentrant (il avait l'air lobotomisé dans la poussette) vers 11h30 et 2h après, il dort toujours... ça va encore le décaler pour ses repas, mais au moins il se repose!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Côté news&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;- naissance de Joséphine hier matin chez Marie des dragonnes&lt;br /&gt;- naissance de Gabriel ce matin chez Loulou et Béatrice&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jan20 - 365 (20)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Gaëtan climbing on the living room couch&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S1jJTaG5wqI/AAAAAAAAFbk/vmooe8fOwRQ/s1600-h/IMG_2346.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S1jJTaG5wqI/AAAAAAAAFbk/vmooe8fOwRQ/s400/IMG_2346.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429310686058103458" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Daily gratitude&lt;/span&gt;: Anne Sylvestre's CDs&lt;br /&gt;They remind me of my own childhood.

All I can say after 2 weeks is that this setup is not working for me. I am ok with the actual gratitude part - as I blog (almost) daily about it here - but the timing is not right: my morning cup of coffee is NOT the best moment for me to think about gratitude afterall. It is far easier to do it in the evening when Gaëtan is sleeping: the house is really quiet, Jerome is either watching tv or doing his things on one of the computers... I can finally sit in front of the other pc, start writing my daily diary blog post, take the time to review my day and think about all the things I can be grateful for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So... this means that I need to find myself another new habit! Will it be about organisation? Decluttering? Beating procrastination?&lt;br /&gt;I need to think hard about this one and above all I need to make a better plan to implement it!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2711000603431229838-6944724455388267524?l=livelovelullaby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/feeds/6944724455388267524/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/01/weekly-gratitude-album-week-1-and-week.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/6944724455388267524'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/6944724455388267524'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/01/weekly-gratitude-album-week-1-and-week.html' title='Weekly gratitude: album, week 1 and week 2'/><author><name>Anne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03351760195962634693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S1N3PX1xBWI/AAAAAAAAFXs/ckhz7PzcWPk/s72-c/P1060296.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711000603431229838.post-1241877848433926429</id><published>2010-01-17T20:23:00.009+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-17T22:58:03.303+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diary'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='365'/><title type='text'>A nice quiet WE</title><content type='html'>Un samedi assez calme sans aucune obligation sociale qui nous a permis de faire un peu de rangement et notamment d'aménager de l'espace dans le placard du bureau pour que Jérôme puisse y ranger certains de ses dossiers. Ca m'a permis de réorganiser un peu mes affaires de scrap et, à défaut d'avoir faire du tri (dommage, mais j'étais pressée par le temps et Jérôme voulait un résultat rapide!), j'ai pu au moins rendre certaines choses plus accessibles. A voir maintenant si ça me permet de scrapper plus rapidement ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Et aujourd'hui, nous étions invités à déjeuner chez Tonton Jean-Claude à Pantin. Un repas gargantuesque avec gigot de chevreuil (de ses "terres limousines") avec purée de butternut et potimarron du jardin de Cussac et une mijotée de cèpes délicieuse. Et après le fromage, nous avons mangé une galette à 3!

Après une période assez creuse, je m'étais remis à ma table de scrap mais pour faire essentiellement des mini-albums... Ma dernière page de scrap date de... juillet! Oui, je sais, ça craint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'étais donc partie hier chez Corinne avec dans mon sac mon matériel de base, quelques photos et quelques mini-kits Scraproom qui me plaisaient bien et qui étaient dans les tons de mes photos... Bilan de ma journée chez Corinne: j'ai réussi à choisir ma photo (je savais ce que je voulais raconter donc c'était déjà ok pour le journaling), mes papiers, à découper mon fond en A4, à le pschitter à la Glimmer Mist et à découper le mat de la photo (papier marron)... SUPER productif!!! Mais j'étais réaliste et je savais que je n'allais pas pouvoir faire grand-chose chez Corinne; mon objectif était surtout de commencer suffisamment une page pour avoir enfin de la terminer rapidement une fois de retour à la maison... et ça a marché puisque je l'ai terminée hier! Success... success at last!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voici donc ma page: plus chargée que prévue initialement et rassemblant des bits and bobs d'horizons variés... mais elle me plait bien parce qu'il me tenait à coeur de mettre par écrit le journaling (même s'il ne parait pas transcendant).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S1GStZ3GXOI/AAAAAAAAFV0/u3BAobRtsgk/s1600-h/P1060297.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 289px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S1GStZ3GXOI/AAAAAAAAFV0/u3BAobRtsgk/s400/P1060297.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427280334691917026" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Papiers Cosmo Cricket Mr Campy; ruban Cosmo Cricket; Glimmer Mist Tattered Angels Coffee Shop; fleur papier Prima; fleur feutrine Chatterbox; ticket Creative Cafe; rubons Autumn Leaves et Polar Bear Press; tampon Technique Tuesday et Florilèges; perforatrice papillon Martha Stewart; lettre Thickers American Craft.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Euh... en fait... pour être tout à fait exacte... j'avais fait une page plus récemment - inspirée par &lt;a href="http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/cg_display.asp?cmd=display&amp;amp;seed_id=29518"&gt;cette page&lt;/a&gt; de &lt;a href="http://www.laurakurz.typepad.com/"&gt;Laura Kurz&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;mais sans photo, donc ça ne compte qu'à moitié ;)&lt;br /&gt;J'ai d'ailleurs dû pas mal fouiller dans mes dossiers pour remettre la main dessus; la voilà:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S1GSyDvBxaI/AAAAAAAAFV8/L87GXL7jhyM/s1600-h/IMG_2214.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S1GSyDvBxaI/AAAAAAAAFV8/L87GXL7jhyM/s400/IMG_2214.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427280414651827618" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Papier Bazzill Kraft; alpha Thickers; couture; stylo gel blanc&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jan15 - 365 (15) &lt;/span&gt;- Latest issue of my GoodFood magazine... yum...&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S1F_TK202QI/AAAAAAAAFVM/wjek4yw5pao/s1600-h/Jan15+cheat.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S1F_TK202QI/AAAAAAAAFVM/wjek4yw5pao/s400/Jan15+cheat.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427258993266710786" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Daily gratitude &lt;/span&gt;- GoodFood magazine&lt;br /&gt;This is a little piece of England that arrives in my mailbox every month: it reminds me of the years I lived there, of cookery programs on tv, of spending time browsing magazines at WH Smith's Waterloo station branch, of favorite recipes cut out and kept preciously...

En vérifiant, je me suis aperçue qu'il avait réussi à sortir une jambe du pyjama et à remettre l'autre dans la mauvaise jambe: c'est décidé, ce pyjama sera désormais uniquement utilisé en cas de pénurie grave! Il faut dire que Gaëtan était excité comme une puce hier soir. Il avait fait la sieste de manière décalée, avait goûté à 18h donc diné vers 20h15 et à 21h15 il faisait encore le fou dans le salon: il crapahutait sur le canapé, poussait des petits cris aigus, ne restait pas 2 sec en place... et j'ai eu un mal fou à lui fermer sa gigoteuse, tellement il bougeait dans son lit.&lt;br /&gt;Bref, ça l'a manifestement calmé d'avoir été dans mes bras et il a fini par se rendormir... jusqu'à 9h30!&lt;br /&gt;Journée tranquille ensuite avec virée au Monop et chez Jacadi pour les soldes en fin de matinée et petite sortie à la médiathèque (rendre le CD Les Fabulettes d'Anne Sylvestre #1 en retard et en reprendre un autre) + pharmacie + Bricolex au réveil de la sieste de l'après-midi.&lt;br /&gt;J'espère que cette nuit sera meilleure; c'est journée chez Corinne demain!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Update Gaëtan&lt;/span&gt;: il sait se retourner pour descendre du canapé (nous en avons été témoins hier soir)! La manoeuvre est encore un peu périlleuse car il veut aller vite et se met un peu près du bord, mais le principe est acquis. Chouette, mes explications ont porté leurs fruits!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dans la rubrique &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Organisation&lt;/span&gt;, voilà mes pensées et mes progrès du jour (ou de ces derniers jours):&lt;br /&gt;"Keeping the kitchen clean and tidy" Day3 ! Ce n'est pas quelque chose que j'avais prévu de faire de longue date (même si j'y avais déjà pensé évidemment) mais ça m'a pris l'autre jour et pour l'instant, ça m'amuse presque de continuer sur ma lancée. Le point de départ était de ne pas voir s'accumuler les casseroles et autre vaisselle sur le bord de l'évier en permanence. Le système qui marche pour le moment: faire la petite vaisselle (les choses qui nécessitent à peine plus que d'être passées sous l'eau) tout de suite, en remplacement du geste 'poser à côté de l'évier en attendant d'avoir le courage de faire la vaisselle'; et faire la plus grosse vaisselle juste après avoir fait manger Gaëtan le matin et juste après l'avoir fait mangé et avoir mangé moi aussi le midi... Dans les 2 cas, je m'aperçois que je suis plus motivée pour être active lorsque j'ai la perspective de pouvoir ensuite m'asseoir pour 1) finir mon café et mon petit-déj (ou me refaire un café) ou 2) prendre mon dessert et mon café. Si je commence par m'asseoir, c'est fini!&lt;br /&gt;Et surtout, surtout: faire ce que j'ai à faire (lessives, ménage, rangement...) AVANT de m'asseoir devant l'ordinateur, sinon c'est mort!&lt;br /&gt;Je me rends donc compte que je peux profiter des moments où Gaëtan vient de manger et est de bonne humeur (et donc autonome dans ses jeux) pour faire mes tâches car il n'a pas besoin de moi et il est même plutôt content de participer de loin à toutes ces activités. Du coup, j'ai le sentiment d'avoir accompli quelque chose dans ma journée et je peux plus sereinement prendre du temps pour moi lorsqu'il fait la sieste!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J1 et tout ce que cela implique comme soucis et comme espoirs...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jan13 - 365 (13)&lt;/span&gt; - Pink hyacinth received as a hostess gift on Sunday.

Et dire que la dernière fois, c'était sur mon ancien blog et ça date de début octobre... autant dire 3 mois... autant dire une éternité dans la vie d'un petit bonhomme de 13 mois!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Du coup, un TRES long, TRES complet (mais pas exhaustif!) point sur le quotidien de Gaëtan à l'heure actuelle:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S0bpaBK3cTI/AAAAAAAAE-U/hIAux9QjGLk/s1600-h/P1060182.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S0bpaBK3cTI/AAAAAAAAE-U/hIAux9QjGLk/s400/P1060182.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424279434414223666" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;MOBILITE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Ca commence déjà à dater un peu, mais Gaëtan s'est mis d'un coup à faire du 4 pattes dans le salon de Jean-François et Catherine à La Baule à la fin de nos vacances bretonnes fin octobre. Sans doute en ayant vu Augustin et Joseph qui vadrouillaient partout?&lt;br /&gt;- Il se met également debout depuis plus d'un mois et commence à bien trouver son équilibre. Il se mettait debout à la force des bras au début (dans la baignoire, puis dans son lit puis un peu partout ensuite) mais c'est plus un petit appui maintenant. Et il s'est mis debout tout seul sur le canapé hier (en posant les mains par terre, en levant les fesses puis en redressant le haut du corps)!&lt;br /&gt;- Il marche le long des murs, le long du rebord de la baignoire, de la barrière de son lit (malgré la gigoteuse) et parfois derrière l'un de ses petits chariots reçus à Noël. Il lâche de plus en plus les mains quand il est debout et qu'il veut atteindre quelque chose d'un peu loin. Il marche aussi quand on lui tient les deux mains, mais il n'est pas vraiment demandeur pour l'instant; donc on ne le force pas. Il se tient debout sans appui de plus en plus souvent également: sans doute après avoir découvert que ça libérait les 2 mains et qu'on pouvait attraper encore plus de choses interdites...&lt;br /&gt;- Les jours du yupala sont donc comptés maintenant puisqu'il ne l'utilise presque plus: il se déplace bien plus rapidement qu'avant à 4 pattes et maintenant qu'il se met debout et se déplace latéralement, il se rend compte qu'il est un peu 'prisonnier' dans le yupala et qu'il n'a pas la même souplesse de déplacement. C'est donc généralement plutôt utilisé pour les temps plus calmes où il suce son pouce et caline son doudou.&lt;br /&gt;- La barrière de sécurité a évidemment été installée en haut des escaliers... mais il n'y en a pas en bas. Il faut donc bien surveiller Gaëtan quand il joue en bas (lorsqu'on prépare le bain par ex.) car il a tôt fait de grimper quelques marches. Comme il ne sait pas encore bien comment redescendre (et qu'il avait tendance au départ à vouloir s'asseoir en arrière quand il était fatigué!), il faut rester derrière lui. Par contre, avec un peu de motivation comme un doudou ou un vêtement qu'on fait monter quelques marches devant lui, il est capable de monter tout l'escalier tout seul. C'est plutôt une bonne nouvelle pour mon dos!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;REPAS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Depuis la visite chez le pédiatre pour ses 1 an, on ne fait plus de biberon à tous les repas et on a commencé les fruits crus (banane, poire, clémentine/orange).&lt;br /&gt;- Côté menu, ça donne donc:&lt;br /&gt;-- pt déj: grand bib de 300ml + 8cuill de lait en poudre (on finit les boites achetées d'avance puis on passe au lait de croissance... voire au lait normal, d'après Laurent) + 4-5cuill de céréales Babybio (vanille, puis 3 fruits, puis cacao et nous revoilà à vanille). Biberon pris tout seul, mais sur les genoux de maman installée dans le canapé... une bonne façon de commencer la journée!&lt;br /&gt;-- déjeuner: &gt;200g légumes avec féculents (pdt, semoule, riz) + 4cc protéines (on a introduit l'oeuf et le jambon) + Kiri (lait ou chèvre) ou Vache qui rit [un grand hit avec Gaëtan] + fruit frais (1 ou 1/2 poire, 1/2 banane ou 3/4 clémentine/orange en ce moment)&lt;br /&gt;-- goûter: yaourt ou 2 petits-suisses ou fromage blanc + 130g de compote + fruit frais (le reste du midi généralement)&lt;br /&gt;-- dîner: biberon de 210ml + 6cuill lait en poudre + 150g purée sans féculent Et parfois un bout de boudoir Babybio ou un morceau de pain s'il a encore faim (mais il croit TOUJOURS avoir encore faim!) ou pour qu'il soit sage pendant qu'on mange.&lt;br /&gt;- Finalement, la cuillère ne l'intéresse pas tant que ça, mais il essaye souvent de mettre la main dans l'assiette et/ou de l'attraper (et de l'envoyer par-terre!).&lt;br /&gt;- La grande nouveauté qui est arrivée avec les fruits frais, c'est le début du "finger food" ou de la nourriture qu'on peut manger avec les doigts. Que ce soit les quartiers de poire (voire les poires entières), les bananes ou les morceaux de clémentines (dont maman a patiemment épluché la petite peau), Gaëtan s'exerce à les attraper des deux mains en faisant la pince entre son pouce et les autres doigts. Il y a encore du progrès à faire au niveau de la dextérité, mais Rome ne s'est pas faite en un jour ;)&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S0bpPx8gNWI/AAAAAAAAE98/SinlOSsPz64/s1600-h/P1060141.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S0bpPx8gNWI/AAAAAAAAE98/SinlOSsPz64/s400/P1060141.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424279258528757090" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;On a même essayé l'autre jour de manger quelques petits pois (piochés dans l'assiette de maman) et c'était rigolo... sauf pour maman qui doit nettoyer le bavoir, le set de table, la table, la chaise haute et le sol autour de la chaise haute!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S0bpfVv4iZI/AAAAAAAAE-c/B9ot6gmGu-U/s1600-h/P1060206.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S0bpfVv4iZI/AAAAAAAAE-c/B9ot6gmGu-U/s400/P1060206.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424279525837539730" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;- Nous avons rendu la chaise haute en plastique (qui a bien servi) à Dady et Mina à Noël quand Gaëtan a reçu la chaise évolutive Stokke en cadeau de ses grands-parents. C'est maintenant un grand garçon qui peut être à table avec papa et maman. C'était un peu plus dur au départ de boire le biberon du soir, mais c'est une habitude à prendre qui n'a pas trainé. L'avantage supplémentaire, en plus du fait qu'elle soit évolutive, c'est qu'elle prend beaucoup moins de place dans la cuisine!&lt;br /&gt;- En conclusion, c'est surtout un gros gourmand qui se lèche les babines et sort la langue quand il voit quelque chose à manger!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;PHYSIQUE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Nous (enfin, Gaëtan mais nous sommes solidaires, surtout certaines nuits!) en sommes à 5 dents: la 1er en bas à 9 mois, la 2ème en bas à 10 mois et les 3,4 et 5è (respectivement les 2 du haut et une en bas à côté de la 1ère) en même temps à 12 mois... Pas de joues ou de fesses rouges, mais pas mal de bave et surtout le poing rentré dans la bouche et des nuits TRES mouvementées avec beaucoup de pleurs. Un potentiel encore énorme devant nous!&lt;br /&gt;- Depuis quelques temps (l'apparition de ses 3 dernières dents?), Gaëtan fait des drôles de bouche en aspirant ses lèvres ou ses joues: bouches en cul de poule/en cerise/en poisson... à chacun son appellation, mais c'est juste excellent à voir. Dommage que je n'aie pas encore réussi à le prendre en photo en flagrant délit!&lt;br /&gt;- Côté cheveux, ils sont toujours aussi blonds, assez fins, mais surtout ils commencent à être un peu longs, surtout dans la nuque et derrière les oreilles. Du coup, ça boucle un peu de temps en temps (mais juste derrière, pas sur le dessus!) et surtout, ça fait n'importe quoi certains jours. La preuve en image:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S0bpWiIs2oI/AAAAAAAAE-M/LUYoJOEBq6Y/s1600-h/P1060174.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S0bpWiIs2oI/AAAAAAAAE-M/LUYoJOEBq6Y/s400/P1060174.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424279374544034434" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;- Il a encore parfois des petites plaques (d'urticaire) sur la peau au niveau des jambes, du ventre et un peu des épaules. Quelques jours d'application de crème Dexeryl améliore généralement bien les choses, mais ça ne part jamais totalement.&lt;br /&gt;- Côté vaccins, le pédiatre n'a pas pu le vacciner lors du RV des 1 an car Gaëtan était légèrement fiévreux (les dents sont apparues quelques jours plus tard) et pleurait à chaudes larmes après nettoyage des oreilles pour permettre une inspection. Ca a donc été reporté au prochain RV... qu'il me faudrait penser à prendre! Et sinon, nous avons reçu le bon pour la vaccination contre la grippe A, mais après beaucoup d'hésitation, puis effrayée par les délais d'attente dans les centres, puis le loulou patraque à cause des dents, puis les fêtes... personne ici n'est encore vacciné.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;EXPRESSION-AFFECTIF&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Gaëtan ne dit pas encore de vrais mots, mais il sait dire "awa" avec mouvement de la main adéquat pour dire au revoir à quelqu'un... même quelqu'un qui met juste son manteau et même quand c'est moi qui me prépare à sortir avec lui! Il dit aussi "môman" ou des sons très similaires, mais rarement en me regardant pour m'appeler; dans ces cas-là, il dit plutôt "gnagna" d'une voix perçante et assez autoritaire ;)&lt;br /&gt;- Il comprend quand on dit "manger" (ça étonne quelqu'un?!) et se met à se lécher les babines en faisant "nam nam nam"; il comprend "pose" ou "donne" mais jette plutôt l'objet en question au lieu de le poser délicatement; il comprend "non", même s'il réessaye quand même dans certains cas; depuis peu (son dernier séjour chez Dady et Mina) il comprend aussi "elles font comment les marionnettes?" et bouge les mains en l'air en 'chantonnant'. J'essaye de lui faire comprendre et faire "bravo" mais ce n'est pas encore un grand succès, même s'il regarde avec attention ce qu'on fait!&lt;br /&gt;- Il est sensible à la musique et se met à se trémousser de droite à gauche quand il entend une chanson ou un rythme qui lui plait.&lt;br /&gt;- Il sait allumer les appliques dans sa chambre (gare si son lit est placé trop près d'un interrupteur!), il allume la télé avec la télécommande et regarde si ce qu'il fait produit un effet, il joue avec le téléphone en appuyant sur les touches et est ravi quand il entend la voix du répondeur France Telecom, est passionné par la souris de l'ordinateur et me fait découvrir des fonctions que je ne connaissais pas (souvent à l'insu de mon plein gré!).&lt;br /&gt;- Côté doudou, le trio de tête est maintenant bien défini: le doudou rose Pinki Nico (qui reste généralement dans son lit), la vache et l'éléphant gris (qui sont à l'étage). S'il passe à côté de l'un d'entre eux, même s'il est en train de jouer, il leur fera bien souvent un calin.&lt;br /&gt;- Il s'arrête quand il passe devant le miroir pour se faire un sourire ou se regarder, joue tout seul à coucou/caché avec son reflet... mais je n'ai pas encore réussi à savoir s'il sait que c'est lui ou s'il pense que c'est un joli bébé!&lt;br /&gt;- Il aime se caler en arrière dans les coussins dans le canapé, comme papa et maman et est vraiment fier quand il le fait!&lt;br /&gt;- Le pouce est évidemment toujours fidèle au poste.&lt;br /&gt;- Il lui arrive de hausser les épaules avec les bras qui retombent... je ne sais pas trop à quoi ça correspond, mais c'est trop mignon!&lt;br /&gt;- Depuis que le grand-oncle Paul l'a mitraillé avec son flash à 20cm de son visage quelques jours après Noël, il plisse les yeux quand il voit un appareil photo... j'espère que c'est un réflexe qui partira sinon ça va être dur de continuer à en prendre!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;JEUX&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Il a compris rapidement comment fonctionnait la tortue offerte par Paul et Cathy. Il lui appuie donc sur le dos et la regarde avancer en faisant de la musique. Il le fait parfois plusieurs fois d'affilée en la suivant à 4 pattes, ou bien il le fait juste en passant avant d'aller faire autre chose.&lt;br /&gt;- Il aime beaucoup les formes du petit établi offert par Gdpère et Gdmère à son anniversaire: il en prend une dans chaque main et les secoue pour écouter le bruit qu'elles font. Il les lance aussi et essaye de les récupérer sous les canapés ;) On lui a montré comment se servir du petit marteau et il l'utilise parfois, mais le geste est encore maladroit. Par contre, il a compris qu'en s'appuyant de tout son poids (ie en étant debout vs assis devant), il pouvait enfoncer les formes dans la structure et qu'en retournant cette dernière, il pouvait recommencer.&lt;br /&gt;- Il aime bien tourner les pages de ses livres et aime beaucoup le livre sonore de Petit Ours Brun reçu à Noël où il appuie sur les différents boutons pour entendre le bruit de la sonnette/du tracteur/du chien/etc... Il connait aussi les livres à toucher et sait qu'il faut passer sa main sur la page pour sentir les différentes textures.&lt;br /&gt;- Il a su se servir du boulier offert par les cousins de Rennes dès le départ, ce qui m'a un peu épaté! Il attrape les perles en bois une par une (plusieurs à la fois en prenant celle du dessous) et les fait monter le long des tiges. Par contre, il se désintéresse pour l'instant du jeu quand toutes les perles sont au milieu.&lt;br /&gt;- Gaëtan a reçu 2 chariots à Noël (l'un de son oncle Laurent, l'autre de ses gds parents maternels) et est trop fier de marcher en les poussant, même s'il commence tout juste à les pousser spontanément; jusqu'ici, c'était plutôt nous qui l'installions derrière le chariot. Les pas sont encore un peu branlants car il va assez vite, mais ça commence à venir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;TOILETTE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Le bain est donné généralement par papa: cela fait un moment de complicité père et fils et ça permet à maman soit de souffler un peu en fin de journée, soit de préparer le diner des grands ou du petit. Gaëtan est rarement assis dans l'eau, mais plutôt debout à parcourir la baignoire de long en large en se tenant aux bords, à jeter les objets par dessus le rebord (en mettant plein d'eau partout!), à inspecter la robinetterie, à essayer d'attraper les objets près du lavabo (en hauteur), à ouvrir et fermer la porte de la salle de bain... Difficile dans ces conditions de le savonner et de le rincer, mais le bon point, c'est qu'il n'a pas l'air d'être dérangé par l'eau (savonneuse ou non) qui lui coule dans les yeux et sur le visage. Ouf!&lt;br /&gt;- Le moment du change est très aléatoire: ça peut être très calme avec Gaëtan restant gentiment sur le dos en suçant son pouce/serrant son doudou/babillant ou à inspecter un objet sous toutes les coutures (brosse à cheveux, paquet de coton, couche, petite bouteille d'eau, un de ses jouets...); ou ça peut être un vrai gymkhana avec Gaëtan essayant de se retourner, même quand je viens juste d'ouvrir la couche bien remplie (!), essayant de se mettre debout, de regarder les affaires rangées sur la tablette sous sa table à langer, d'attraper les vêtements posés sur le dos de la chaise à côté... et dans ces cas-là, c'est TRES difficile de le faire tenir en place et ça se termine avec des larmes quand j'essaye de l'immobiliser. Une fois la couche refermée, je lâche l'affaire et il peut généralement bouger à son gré: je m'adapte pour ensuite refermer le body et l'habiller tant bien que mal!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bref, un petit bonhomme très malheureux ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S0bpTpKGKWI/AAAAAAAAE-E/Ujxvuwfz9eQ/s1600-h/P1060167.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 322px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S0bpTpKGKWI/AAAAAAAAE-E/Ujxvuwfz9eQ/s400/P1060167.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424279324889327970" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2711000603431229838-2100569257339193458?l=livelovelullaby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/feeds/2100569257339193458/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/01/gaetan-13-months.html#comment-form' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/2100569257339193458'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/2100569257339193458'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2010/01/gaetan-13-months.html' title='Gaëtan @ 13 months'/><author><name>Anne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03351760195962634693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S0bpaBK3cTI/AAAAAAAAE-U/hIAux9QjGLk/s72-c/P1060182.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711000603431229838.post-1942482076827448589</id><published>2010-01-12T15:04:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-18T12:24:58.734+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gratitude'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diary'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='365'/><title type='text'>0 emails</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Deuxième jour où j'arrive à ne pas laisser accumuler la vaisselle et grand nettoyage de mes deux boîtes mails et les icônes du bureau de l'ordinateur... it feels sooooo good!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jan12 - 365 (12) &lt;/span&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S02MvAXDiMI/AAAAAAAAFTk/y4qteen14kU/s1600-h/IMG_2273.JPG"&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S02MvAXDiMI/AAAAAAAAFTk/y4qteen14kU/s400/IMG_2273.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Daily gratitude&lt;/span&gt;: Coffee&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;As a mother of a 1-year old, turning the light off WAY to late in the evenings because I can't put my book down and getting up WAY to early to my liking (and my need of sleep), I am in desperate need of something to wake me up in the mornings.

Ensuite après déjeuner samedi et quelques courses pour le lendemain, nous avons été déposer Gaëtan chez ses grands-parents qui voulaient un peu le voir avant de partir dans le sud (les veinards!). Nous sommes arrivés pour le café, et surtout la galette faite maison. Le temps de rentrer, de se préparer et nous étions de nouveau dans le métro pour aller diner chez Xavier et Florence. Alexandre a vraiment grandi et c'est marrant de voir les similitudes et les différences avec Gaëtan qui a 4 mois de moins!&lt;br /&gt;- Grand déjeuner familial donc dimanche midi pour fêter l'anniversaire de maman avec tante Anne-Marie, oncle François et sa future femme Christiane, mes parents et Marie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S1REldSvY0I/AAAAAAAAFYk/kOu7WhuUr04/s1600-h/IMG_2259.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S1REldSvY0I/AAAAAAAAFYk/kOu7WhuUr04/s400/IMG_2259.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428038861197370178" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Marathon dans la cuisine le matin même puisque je n'avais pas eu le temps de commencer les préparatifs la veille: twice-baked Roquefort soufflés puis pork tenderloin with cider and apples de Delia Smith. Jérôme devait faire une galette, mais suite à rupture de pâte feuilletée chez Monop et faute de temps, il en a finalement acheté une à la boulangerie. On a tous passé un bon moment ensemble et c'était vraiment sympa que ça se fasse à la maison plutôt qu'à Buc, à Boissises ou à la Celle St Cloud. Ne manquait que Grand-mère qui n'était pas en forme et a préféré rester chez elle à se reposer plutôt que de braver le froid...&lt;br /&gt;Comme Marie n'avait pas cours le lendemain matin, elle est restée dormir à la maison pour qu'on puisse papoter et qu'elle puisse profiter un peu de Gaëtan. Une fois Gaëtan couché, on a regardé le film qu'elle avait offert à Jérôme pour Noël "Good Morning England" (en vo The Boat that Rocked)... hilarant! Ca nous a bien rappelé l'Angleterre et l'humour anglais, même si l'histoire du naufrage était peu crédible finalement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jan10 - 365 (10)&lt;/span&gt; - Mum and her "galette des rois" birthday cake.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S0xXDDSYWrI/AAAAAAAAFBE/mNUe16ntVgw/s1600-h/IMG_2255.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S0xXDDSYWrI/AAAAAAAAFBE/mNUe16ntVgw/s400/IMG_2255.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425807361008229042" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Daily gratitude&lt;/span&gt;: Hosting a family lunch&lt;br /&gt;This means so many things for me: it means we really are part of the 'grown-ups' now; it means our family gets along well (although the road may be rocky sometimes); it means we have a big enough place that we CAN host such a meal; it means life will go on...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jan9 - 365 (9)&lt;/span&gt; - The japanese maple is looking pretty even in winter with its reddish little sprigs dusted with snow.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S0xXIq6x4rI/AAAAAAAAFBM/FJhHQYQbRvs/s1600-h/IMG_2252.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S0xXIq6x4rI/AAAAAAAAFBM/FJhHQYQbRvs/s400/IMG_2252.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425807457546003122" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Daily gratitude&lt;/span&gt;: Local Monoprix&lt;br /&gt;It isn't (by far) the cheapest supermarket but our local branch is 5min from our place and carries food, cute baby clothes, books and kitchen &amp;amp; home articles.

A moins de faire un voyage dans l'hémisphère sud dans une région un peu froide et/ou montagneuse... c'est une idée à garder en mémoire ;)&lt;br /&gt;Cela dit, je me dis que ça sera sûrement quelque chose que Gaëtan, né en décembre, pourra espérer avoir et je croise les doigts pour que son (futur) souhait se réalise une fois de temps en temps!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En parlant d'anniversaire, c'est donc celui de ma maman aujourd'hui et j'ai failli ne pas lui souhaiter ce matin car j'étais complètement dans le coltard après une nuit agitée à cause des dents (encore???) de Gaëtan. Mais je me suis rattrapée et on fêtera ça dignement dimanche midi à la maison. Et pour Gaëtan, c'est Doliprane préventif ce soir, en croisant les doigts pour que la nuit soit calme...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malgré le soleil qui a brillé toute la journée, la neige a tenu et j'ai eu envie d'emmener Gaëtan faire quelques pas dans la neige sur la terrasse... bien emmitouflé, avec des petits après-skis trouvés par ma belle-mère dans le hall de son immeuble (!), Gaëtan n'a pas eu l'air très très emballé par l'expérience... il faut dire que son expression au contact de la neige est une moue de profond dégoût  ;) J'espère que ça changera d'ici nos vacances à la montagne le mois prochain, lol!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S0ZM15yzxWI/AAAAAAAAE9M/BO9pM1HdhqY/s1600-h/P1060228.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S0ZM15yzxWI/AAAAAAAAE9M/BO9pM1HdhqY/s400/P1060228.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424107290145047906" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Jan7 - 365 (7)&lt;/span&gt; - Terraces were covered in snow this morning...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S0ZGIIKcIfI/AAAAAAAAE9E/i0LlG4prvIU/s1600-h/Jan7.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/S0ZGIIKcIfI/AAAAAAAAE9E/i0LlG4prvIU/s400/Jan7.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424099906658509298" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Daily gratitude&lt;/span&gt;: Children's laughs&lt;br /&gt;They laugh wholeheartedly loudly with their whole body without self-consciousness, not worrying if they look silly or if it's the right time or the right place to laugh.

Anything: a big thing, a small thing, a frivolous thing, a life-changing thing...  I will try very hard not to censure or judge myself. And whether this one thing is specific to that day or not is not relevant at this point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This new habit should fit nicely into the Weekly Gratitude project. Will I incorporate all 7 daily grateful thoughts in my weekly project or will I only use (the most significant) one? This is not something I have to decide right now. I'll probably play it by ear and follow my inspiration for the first few weeks, then see what works best for me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is how I am planning to create my new habit, as advised by Leo Babauta on the 6 Changes website. Starting with baby steps is very important but this means that I will only actually write down something I am grateful for in week 3. I am however planning to start my Weekly Gratitude straight away, keeping it very simple at first: probably just one word (more if I'm really inspired) and maybe a photo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Trigger: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drinking my morning cup of coffee&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;8 steps: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-week1: grab notebook &amp;amp; pen and place it next to my mug&lt;br /&gt;-week2: grab notebook &amp;amp; pen + think positive thoughts&lt;br /&gt;-week3: grab + think + write 1 word that come to mind&lt;br /&gt;-week4: grab + think + write a small sentence&lt;br /&gt;-week5: grab + think + write a longer sentence&lt;br /&gt;-week6: grab + think + write + log unto computer&lt;br /&gt;-week7: grab + think + write + copy it into new blog post draft&lt;br /&gt;-week8: grab + think + write + copy + publish blog post&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2711000603431229838-5261236927546112414?l=livelovelullaby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/feeds/5261236927546112414/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2009/12/daily-gratitude.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/5261236927546112414'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/5261236927546112414'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2009/12/daily-gratitude.html' title='Daily gratitude'/><author><name>Anne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03351760195962634693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711000603431229838.post-7697319481069374549</id><published>2009-12-29T00:47:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-03T22:41:57.503+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gratitude'/><title type='text'>One little word</title><content type='html'>Once again, I am following Ali Edwards' lead and jumping onboard her latest project. This one is a little tradition of choosing &lt;a href="http://aliedwards.typepad.com/_a_/2009/12/one-little-word-2010.html"&gt;a single word&lt;/a&gt; to focus on over the course of the year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had been brainstorming about this for a few days already when I realised that the one thing on my mind lately was GRATITUDE. I've been thinking about this quite a lot as I was trying to decide which format I would choose for my Weekly Gratitude project + I was trying to decide on the 6 new habits to create and thought that starting with listing 1 thing I am thankful for each day would be great to change the way I am seeing my life and the world in general at the moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why make things more complicated than they need to be? Why search for something different when Gratitude is what I want to focus on in the future? Let's tackle this bad habit (seeing what's wrong first) from as many different angles as possible!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am now thinking about a way to have this one little word in front of my eyes as often as possible. I might order a custom-made piece of jewelry like those made by &lt;a href="http://www.lisaleonardonline.com/custom-necklaces/new-word-of-the-year-necklace.html"&gt;Lisa Leonard&lt;/a&gt; or I might write the word and frame it or I might create a monogram letter... or maybe do all three!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2711000603431229838-7697319481069374549?l=livelovelullaby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/feeds/7697319481069374549/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2009/12/one-little-word.html#comment-form' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/7697319481069374549'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/7697319481069374549'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2009/12/one-little-word.html' title='One little word'/><author><name>Anne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03351760195962634693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2711000603431229838.post-4096371111481052150</id><published>2009-12-27T12:15:00.007+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-07T22:28:08.926+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gaetan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diary'/><title type='text'>A walk in the woods</title><content type='html'>Rien de tel qu'un bel après-midi d'hiver ensoleillé et une petite balade en forêt en famille pour se sentir revigorée!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/SzdHYN9UfhI/AAAAAAAAE1U/ypzw9SzPD-g/s1600-h/P1060118.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ibguZX9kYj8/SzdHYN9UfhI/AAAAAAAAE1U/ypzw9SzPD-g/s400/P1060118.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419879157952970258" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comme Gaëtan était complètement décalé hier (réveil à 10h après une nuit agitée - ENCORE les dents??? - et déjeuner vers 14h), nous n'avons pu décoller de la maison que vers 15h, direction la forêt de Meudon où Jérôme avait couru le matin-même.

Certainement le contre-coup de toute l'anticipation et l'excitation à l'approche du grand jour + mon rhume qui a commencé le 24 et qui me donne une tête au carré... et sûrement aussi la déception qu'après tant d'anticipation, ce moment de fêtes soit passé aussi rapidement. C'est le revers de la médaille d'avoir nos 2 familles qui habitent près de nous: au lieu d'aller passer quelques jours chez eux, nous ne faisons que passer pour les repas de fêtes... C'est donc à la fois fatiguant (parlez-en à Gaëtan!) et extrêmement frustrant de ne faire que "voir" les gens finalement assez rapidement, plutôt que de passer du temps avec eux... Certainement un aspect sur lequel travailler pour l'an prochain, car j'aimerais vraiment être remplie de joie et de gratitude aujourd'hui, plutôt que de regret et de lassitude...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Première année aussi que je n'ai pas été à la messe de Noël, puisque nous étions sur le chemin entre Issy et Buc, après avoir passé le déjeuner et l'après-midi rue Cambronne avec la famille de Jérôme... Coincée entre le désir de ne pas partir trop tôt d'un côté et de ne pas arriver trop tard de l'autre... Et cela fait bizarre de ne pas avoir été à la messe en famille. C'est peut-être aussi pour ça que j'ai l'impression que Noël est passé si vite, que ça semble presque irréel.&lt;br /&gt;Pour dire à quel point je n'ai pas vu le temps passer: je n'ai même pas pensé le 24 au soir alors que nous passions le réveillon en famille à Mamie, ma grand-mère décédée cette année à Pâques... Sans doute la fatigue et le fait que Grand-mère était avec nous... Mais quelles que soient les raisons, je trouve ça dommage de n'avoir pas été plus consciente du moment et de n'avoir pas su trouver ou prendre quelques minutes pour apprécier la compagnie de ceux qui étaient présents et pour repenser à ceux qui n'étaient plus là avec nous...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sur une note plus légère et gaie, j'essaye (malgré mon rhume qui perdure!) de profiter pleinement du moment aujourd'hui et d'être reconnaissante pour les petites et les grandes joies de la vie: se retrouver tranquillement tous les 3 à la maison, regarder Gaëtan jouer dans le salon pendant que nous lisons chacun un livre sur le canapé, le voir aller de l'un à l'autre, se redire pour la n-ième fois "c'est moi qui l'ai fait!" et avoir toujours du mal à croire à ce petit miracle de perfection, se souvenir de l'an dernier où il était si petit, se rendre compte du chemin parcouru - par lui, et par nous en tant que parents -, fermer les yeux et sentir le soleil sur ma peau, profiter du calme pendant que Gaëtan fait la sieste et que Jérôme est parti courir (après sa frustration de n'avoir pu courir le 25 matin), penser aux différents projets que j'ai envie d'entreprendre pour l'année 2010 (&lt;a href="http://weeklygratitude.wordpress.com/"&gt;Weekly Gratitude&lt;/a&gt; de Karen Grünberg et Lori Gentile; poster régulièrement sur ce nouveau blog; reprendre une photo par jour pour le &lt;a href="http://issyouailleurs.blogspot.com/"&gt;projet 365&lt;/a&gt;, comme en 2008; choisir mes 6 nouvelles habitudes à adopter pour &lt;a href="http://6changes.com/"&gt;6 Changes&lt;/a&gt; de Leo Babauta; finir de regarder les vidéos de &lt;a href="http://www.bigpicturescrapbooking.com/classes/yesterday/"&gt;Yesterday &amp;amp; Today&lt;/a&gt; d'Ali Edwards et me mettre enfin à faire les layouts correspondants...).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tout ce qu'il me faut maintenant, c'est un peu d'organisation et cela va devoir passer, comme toujours pour moi, par une phase de rangement (idéalement par le vide!)... Wish me luck!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2711000603431229838-9028785255417778890?l=livelovelullaby.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/feeds/9028785255417778890/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2009/12/bitter-sweet.html#comment-form' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/9028785255417778890'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2711000603431229838/posts/default/9028785255417778890'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://livelovelullaby.blogspot.com/2009/12/bitter-sweet.html' title='Bitter sweet'/><author><name>Anne</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03351760195962634693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
