Cuteness overload

 Another list for the books:

- Adamian came running like crazy to me while I was weeding in the garden saying,' Mama come it's important!'. When I asked what he wanted, he said he needed his vest because it's cold and he wanted to join me outside.

- 5 Feb 2021 - I hid a new lego set for the kids' entertainment during vacation above the cupboard in Adamian's old room. Ayden noticed it the moment he came back after school. It was not even at his eye level, nor did he even need to go to the room for any reason. He just noticed it. Right away. I remember even telling Antoine about it and saying let's test how quickly Ayden would notice it.

- 22 Mar 2021 - Adamian fell at the dinner table and I gave him a cotton pad to dry his tears. When he saw blood coming out of his nose, he panicked and the reaction was kind of cute? Can't explain it.

- 7 Apr 2021 - Came outside to check on the kids in the garden. I just see Ayden's top half inside a hedge with Hugo holding onto his feet, and Adamian watching. Too funny. He was getting a ball stuck in the hedge.

- When I pretended to 'complain' about one over the other, I just get a response 'Not my business'. Which is the exact thing I say when they come complaining to me LOL. 

- 'Ehhh Laisser mon banane' (Adamian)

- 'Kotey avec le poile' (Ayden)

- Mains en l'air! (Hands in the air) - Adamian

- Adamian was scared to see Ayden's dry lips (blood) so Ayden put on a mask.

- Adamian on the phone from Lyon: Mama? En fait, I love you! *flying kiss*

- Ayden on the phone from Lyon: What, you had noodles? Me: Not your favourites ones. Ayden: Ouf.

- 'Non, non et non!' Adamian's sleeptalking.

- Ayden noticed a new keychain for my housekeys (Australian): they were for my motorbike. He noticed right away.

AGAIN

France is again on another lockdown from the third wave of Covid cases. It started last Saturday 3 April. The curfew 7pm to 6am still stands but this time:

- Kids stay home the week before their vacation starts (so parents again are expected to fill in for the teachers while at the same time working their own day jobs)

- Travel beyond 10 km from your residence is prohibited unless for essential reasons

This will last for one more month.

God, please give me the strength and patience to endure another round of this confinement...
