When both parents were away

Mamiecath managed to take MM to her music class with a taxi on Saturday morning, when both parents were out of town. Meeting up Julian in music class and hanging out after.

I was away in Vancouver for a conference for four days. Ming Ming went to school in the morning. mamie picked her up after lunch, and she spent the afternoon with mamie. They relished the time with each other.

When I called from Vancouver, MM talked non-stop on the phone, telling me story after story, all the minute details of her time with mamie. I was really surprised by how she talked on the phone. Usually I was the one next to her and had to tell her or ask her questions for her to talk on the phone. But when I was at the other end of the line, MM just went on, "然後...然後...." mamie felt a bit left out as she understood nothing of the conversation.

mamiecath est la!

"I am ready to go too!"

This morning, MM noticed an empty luggage and asked what it was, Antoine told her that mama would be away for a few days, while MM would stay home with Papa and Mamiecath. MM insisted that she would go with mama, and kept consuling papa: "but I will come back in a few days, okay?" While I told her that she could hide in my luggage while I travel, she was very excited. When I came back to the room a few minutes after, she had already packed her books and toys in my luggage. Ready to go!

making some yucky soup... MM asked me to play making yucky soup the next morning, which is a change as she only wants to play doctor and teacher these days.
