Annick:
- more sickness, poor little lady, including what we thought was measles but turned out to be roseola
- didn't poop for three days then pooped six times in one day
- shakes her head 'no' all the time (admittedly does not actually mean 'no' when she is doing it)
- shrieks of delight, particularly indoors
- Grabby McGrabby
- likes eating paper
Luca:
- learning to swear like Capitaine Haddock - "Tonnerre de Brest!"
- comes out with sentences like, "Luca sit in the carosse, the babylady goes in mama"
- very taken with the sparkliness of Christmas and particularly fond of trimmed Christmas trees and street decorations
- sometimes dribbling, sometimes not
- likes singing and dancing!

The Chinese woman plucked at the fabric and said, "Doesn't she get hot in there?"

Caucasians usually ask me whether it is hard on my back.
