Play time

Estelle has suddenly (re-) discovered her Dressy Bessy doll, gift from her twin aunts. She and my old handmade doll get to ride around on her little car-thingy, or, as she calls it, "mon velo!"


Today we got a little compact kitchenette for Estelle. This is a big hit, though not as amazing as the one at Grammie's from Uncle Paul. For instance, it didn't come with two boxes of dishes and plastic food. But it does the trick!

Note Dressy Bessy who got a front row seat, courtesy of Estelle.
Also note that it has a built-in deep fryer, so typically French! So the only food she has at the moment are fries. It also came with a pressure cooker, also a mainstay in all kitchens over here. Cracks me up. Every time I saw her putting the fry basket in, I felt like I was at McDonald's.


And finally, a little film, of Estelle's Tea Party. This is an adorable ceramic tea set from Manou Ouillade, Thomas' mom.
