Paris


William pointing the way to his distracted parents. "Mummy, Daddy, look at that!"

We had fun week in Paris with William, on holiday with my mum and dad this month. We stayed in an apartment, in which you can see William demonstrating one of the many exciting things you can do with a see-through plastic chair....

We didn't see that many tourist attarctions, but managed to go to Sainte Chappelle, Sacre Coeur, Isle St Louis and the Medical History Museum - where William loved walking around the main room, and only afterwards did we realise how dirty the floor was!

This picture is of William and Andrew at Sacre Coeur (while I checked out the fabulous fabric shops nearby.... they are wonderful! I bought myself some treats, including a few pieces of Liberty fabric. The shops in Paris had a better range of Liberty fabric than the Liberty shop in London!

We went to the Jardin de Luxembourg and to other parks almost every day, and just relaxed in the warm, sunny weather. Our local park was right near a school and so full of young kids every afternoon. William enjoyed feeding stale baguette to the pigeons and watching the other kids have water fights. Hanging upside down in a park is obviously a lot of fun. Check out his top teeth; he now has seven in total. He also practised his walking and can now take 3-5 steps before falling forward. Perhaps by his first birthday he'll be walking....?
