A few events have happend since I have last written ;o)

Your cousin Paolo turned 18 years old on May 18th and we had a great party for him at his house, then Mamie Nicole also had a birthday party May 22nd. And the news about you is that we started you on your "potty training". It has been 2 weeks now, we bring you to the toilet every 15 minutes and you are doing great. We are hoping that by the summer you will be in underwear and no more pull ups. But if you are still in pull ups, that is ok too, as we do not want to rush you! We are just happy with the progress you are doing!!

On a different note, you are doing very well with you big bed and I have to say that you are now bilingual which is so funny as one minute you will call me "maman" then the next minute you will call me "mommy". Everyone is very impress with you and your father and I are so proud as you are such a smart little boy. It is so funny because your father and I speak in English to each other, and you listen to every word we say and understand everything. So we are now spelling out everything so you will not understand everything .

You are now 2 years and 8 months old as of today and it just seems it was yesterday we went to get you in Vietnam.

We love you so much Alexandre!

You are in a big bed now!!!

Today your father took the day off and he and I did your bedroom, meaning we took away your crib, and your dresser and everyting that was "baby" related as you are big boy now and we transformed your bedroom to a "jungle" them. It took us about 6 hours to do and it was worth it.

We picked you up from daycare and when you opened the door of your bedroom, you were just amazed, your face said it all, when you say your comforter and noticed all the animals on it you, you started to name them; elephant, giraffe, tiger. It was such a joy to watch and of course I had teary eyes as now, there is not going back. It is a new chapter.

I just love you
