We are off to Paris to celebrate. He’s never been on a plane. He’s so excited. Time is a thief. 10 years. Bloody hell.

He wants to try the snail! The youngest who’s 4 and will be 5 in May thinks as the older one is getting a special day, he can also have a special day so he seem to think he can have a penguin and a panda to live under his bed on his birthday!

That seems totally reasonable to me 🤗❤️

It’s been absolutely amazing! The kids have loved it. Our flight was cancelled so we spent hours and hours in the airport but we got here eventually and staying near place de clichy. Kids have loved it. My husband and I have loved it. Today is the big bus day and we have found a really cool Lebanese place to eat tonight. We have eaten like the French for the past 2 days and it’s incredible. My kids
will eat anything. They are so great, love them so much, They are also really into books and there’s this small bookshop that my son wants to visit tonight. Hope it’s not closed by the time we get back. And finally hope he doesn’t buy loads of books as we have a full library at home and have run out of space!

Can he read French?
