Huntsman


A Huntsman spider is very common in Australia, makes it a little too common for Natasha who hates spiders, and especially the huntsman. It is true that they look a bit like spiders comics with big hairy legs and are quite frightening until you learn that they are completely harmless to humans. They have the distinction of not weave cloth, to hunt their prey and live under the bark of trees.

I do not know why, but it seems that our car (although the French brand) Huntsman attracts the neighborhood to come to take refuge in our car ... And particularly under the sun visor passenger side (go figure).

Tonight again, there was one in the trunk of the car when I changed the flat tire (it is only the second time in three weeks). Of course Natasha was screaming for help so that I kill, I crush it, I knocks him out, as I sprayed toxic product, but really the idea of killing another of these creatures (I have killed at least 5 in the last month) I do not liked, so I took a small plastic box, I caught the huntsman who was in the trunk, and I was released into the bush at the corner Street.

Natasha is vaguely reassured, and I'm happy to have killed our stowaway.

Bath Pad No Suction Cups

layer

We started to sleep without Violet layer, because in five days in a row she has wet his bed once.
But now that Violet is satisfied it no longer needs diapers, no way to put him a diaper. There are still occasional accidents, but if I wear it to the bathroom to 22h generally it will make the night without a problem ... course by writing this post, I hear Violet turns, fast ... too late, the bed is already wet, a towel folded in half will allow him to sleep until tomorrow morning.

The Violet

Violet has a lot of will, as it has only two years, in English it's called the "terrible twos" in psychological terms it's called the opposition phase, and long Violette us go crazy to go to bed.

But finally, last night I got it to decide for even go to bed alone. Okay it happened at 9 o'clock in the evening 2 hours after the official curfew, but nevertheless, after asking for the nth time: "You want to go to sleep, or you want to sit on your chair? " she finally said, "go sleep", she got up and went to bed alone after carefully closing the door of his bedroom. I admit I was very impressed by his perseverance to sit in his chair (it was the market: in bed or chair), despite his obvious fatigue, but I was surprised at my own patience.
(now Violet collapsed sleep at 5:30, and she left for the night)

This probably came from my exchange with Matty, the former Montessori teacher Elodie which took place during the open days of the school. Exchange which was then extended to the house when Matty came for coffee. During his visit, the three "big" did a parade of costumes from the costume box, it was hilarious. Matty
me once again repeated the same precepts of education, and although I know quite well, a little refreshment from time to time do much good. Including stroke "no".

When a parent says "no" has a child, he expects an immediate response, the child will stop immediately and obey "without thinking".
But when a child says "no" to a parent, then it becomes an unacceptable answer, a correct behavior ... and yet it is well known that children do imitate their parents.
One solution is to offer children choices to give him a choice: "You want to eat your meat alone, or you want me to help?" Or "yes you can have ice when it will be hot "

Even today, whenever I'm surprised saying no, I quickly corrected by turning it into a choice:
Elodie: I do not want to go to bed immediately, I remained standing.
Dad: no, go to bed right now is the time when we had to decide that you would go to bed ... (Oops) if you want to stay up later, then you must store your office and pick up all cases that are on the ground.
Elodie: ok, I'll do that (instead of the usual wah-wah when I wear it to bed)


So I had a great weekend with the kids and everyone is relaxed.
[Update: thank you to Lawrence for her grammar lesson is that I do not often the opportunity to write in French, but it quickly returns]

New neighbors

Last Sunday we invite the new neighbor to tea.
Marvin & Mary were installed soon in Australia 5 years ago, arriving in Britain. In fact they just buy the house next to ours. Mary is 3 months pregnant and the baby was planned for the month of June is their first.

Marvin's mother is French and he speaks French without any accent. They are both very friendly and open. They intend to speak French to their child to be bilingual.

It's like our friends Steve and Rosie who adopted a Korean boy and Rosie that he speaks in French ... Having children seems to bilingual fashion and so we are very fashionable with 5 children bilingual (well those who speak ...)

Natasha started to talk up a playgroup in the French "community center" tip Street, as we begin to know lots of neighbor who would be interested in participating in such a playgroup ...
