Swimming Pool day

Do you take your kids swimming ? Do they still need floaters ? Do they want to use the floaters ? Are your kids afraid of the water ? Did you experience the floaters not fitting and the kids still can't swim without them ? Do you take them to the sea, lake or swimming pool ? Do you and your kids like water parks? Tell me your story, here is mine...

The Little Girl put on her favorite red swimsuit. 
"Papi, where are the floaters ?", asked the Little Girl.
"I think I forgot the floaters at home Little Girl", answered Papi.
"No problem, we swim without floaters then", said the Little Girl.
The Little Girl approached the border of the swimming pool. A lot of magical things happened in the swimming pool. The Little Girl entered carefully, it was her first time without the floaters. Papi followed her into the swimming pool.
The Little Girl tried to swim and saw the water cover her completely.
The arms of Peter Pan caught her and saved her from the crocodile. A crocodile was approaching the Little Girl. Peter Pan called for Tinkerbell. "Tinkerbell, come here!", shouted Peter Pan.
The Little Girl could see the brilliant light flying around them. The light approached, it was Tinkerbell the fairy. Peter pan caught Tinkerbell and shook the little fairy above the Little Girl's head.
The Little Girl now wasn't afraid of the water. She could fly above the water. The Little Girl gave a big stroke with her small arms and moved forward. the crocodile got very frustrated, it could not catch the Little Girl.
"Hello Mr. Crocodile, I am here!", the Little Girl taunted the crocodile.
The crocodile tried to approach, but the Little Girl was to fast for it. the Little Girl swam with great speed leaving ripples of water behind her. And the poor crocodile could only catch the small waves the Little Girl made.
But the magic dust finished very fast. the water washed the magic dust from the Little Girl. The Little Girl could not swim so fast now, and the crocodile was opening the mouth to eat her. The Little Girl felt the over go over her body and felt her arm being held strongly.
Papi grabbed the Little Girl by the arm and pulled her out of the water. The Little Girl did not see Peter pan, or Tinkerbell, or the crocodile.
The Little Girl could see Papi that gently held her so she could swim without the floaters.

Coffee for Papi

Did you teach your kids how to operate the coffee machine ? Did they learn ? Did they want to learn ? Do they like making coffee for you ? Do you enjoy that peaceful moment you are waiting for your kids to bring you coffee ? Or are you nervous that something will happen to them ? Or are you concerned that something may happen to the coffee machine ? Does the quality come with the expected coffee ? Do they look happy to do something for you when they come carefully balancing the cup of coffee on the saucer ? Tell me your story, here is mine...

Papi finished lunch. The Little Girl wanted to make something good for Papi.
"Mami, can I make coffee for Papi ?", asked the Little Girl.
"Do you know how to use the coffee machine ?", asked Mami.
"Yes, Papi told me!", answered the Little Girl.
The Little Girl got a cup, put at the machine, and pressed the button.
There came the coffee pouring into the cup.
The Little Girl balanced the coffee cup all the way from the kitchen to the living room. She went slowly, she did not want to spill the coffee. She wanted Papi to feel good about her. There she went, balancing the coffee cup until she got to Papi.
"Papi, here is a coffee for you!", the Little Girl handed proudly the coffee cup to Papi.
Papi tasted it and make a horrible face... it looked like Papi did not like the coffee.
But Papi said, "Thank You, it was very good, but let me tell you a secret Little Girl, come with Papi to the kitchen!".
Papi took the Little Girl to the kitchen. "Look", said Papi, "next time put this capsule in the coffee machine, it makes the coffee so much better, and I know you do it better than anyone else Little Girl!".
After dinner Papi said, "Hum, I am going to sit at the sofa, it would be so nice if I had somebody bring me a coffee."
The Little Girl heard Papi. She went to the kitchen, got a cup and put it at the machine, got a capsule that Papi like and put it into the machine, and then pressed the button for the coffee. The coffee poured into the coffee cup, this time a bit darker, it smelled like Papi's coffee.
With great care, the Little Girl brought the coffee cup to Papi in the living room.
Papi sipped the coffee and said, "Ah! this is so good, thank you Little Girl!"

Learning WORDS


Help Me, dear friends, another project on it's way! My daughter is now getting curious with words. She understands that words have meanings. So I decided to make a learning book for her and other kids like her. We live in a multilingual environment, so the book will have an illustrative drawing the same word written in 3 languages. What would be the first words you would like your child to learn ? Are those words that your child likes or that you like ? Imagine the words your child would like to learn first, tell me those words...
