soiree chez Pascale et Rafael

Pascale and Rafael had a beautiful backyard...

Ming Ming is becoming more independent. She played for quite a while with Enzo and Rafael on her own, I was sometimes on a chair nearby, sometimes in the house, and she was totally fine. I was surprised.

extra nice to papa, afterall, it is father's day today.

pooling with Julian

We had a great time in the pool and a yummy picnic by the pool...

Ming Ming started by patting on Julian's shoulder gentlely and then quickly became aggressive.

exploration play studio

I thought that Ming Ming would be too young for this, but she busied herself for a whole hour, totally thrilled. And even that there were many small things in the studio, she did not try to eat everything.

cleaning up, which was the only part she did not like.
