Today like every day at 4pm, I went to my favourite coffee shop for a large mocha, with my baby in his sling. It's the best part of the day, Bibu Minouche is sleeping snoring cutely and I do need my coffee after a very long day.

I came back home and put the coffee on the chest of drawers nearby the changing table. I went to change the baby, all smile and fun cooing and gurgling and singing with him. I turned my head one second while I extended my hand to reach the nappies on the chest of drawers, one hand on my baby... To my surprise Bibu managed to pee in a  neat stream up to the ceiling, down into my coffee.

It happens each time I think that really you don't need warm baby wipes, no problem, this wipe warmer was such an unnecessary expense, haha. Cold wipes make babies pee, you've got to know that. Well you don't really need to know it, but I do. I didn't know if I should laugh or cry. But my little boy was looking at me in such a cute way , like " Did I do something wrong or what?" and smiling and cooing, so I choose to laugh, cuddle on my bed with the baby and play with him . Tummy time on maman's belly, so much fun!! Yey!

Fun to the point he actually vomited all his milk on me, my hair and the comforter. 

I knew this time what I had to do : I had a good laugh and a shower, put the comforter in a bag, the baby in his sling and went to the laundry. Lucky me, the owner recognized me, and told me my husband paid too much last time he came and actually gave me money instead of making me pay.

So I went to the cafe to spend this extra change, told my story with a big smile to the barista so he can have a good laugh too, and lucky me once again, he said "It's on me!". How nice of him, really.

I went back home in a very cheerful mood, thinking how much I like to live in a city with such nice and honest people.

I was also thinking that  if I had gone to their shops grumbling with a grimace on my face, maybe they would not have been that nice.

Really, sometimes, life is better if you just take it easy.

I wish I was able to react like that every time.

Juste pour voir, dites tres vite et a voix haute: onomatopee, hippopotame, onomatopee, hippopotame, onomatopee, hippopotame, onomatopee, hippopotame, onomatopee, hippopotame, ono...

huhu.

Most of this illo's text is written with onomatopoeias, no translation, sorry.

Ce post est dedie a Cassiopee, qui a gentiment offert a Bebe Joli le potame qui chante et qui danse maintenant sur le bord de son berceau.

My first Mother's day!

Ici ce n'est pas le meme jour qu'en France. J'ai hate d'etre a l'age des colliers de nouilles, en attendant j'ai ete tres gatee par mon mari :)

Bonne fete a toutes les Mamans!

Happy mother's day to all the Mommies!

I'm afraid this text is kind of difficult to translate. It's about the sweets I used to eat when I was a little girl 33 years ago. I really was a perfectionnist when I was a little girl. And there is also a sauerkraut of marquise with a caravelle on top.
Smarties, in Europe, look like M&Ms. The boxes were bigger than the volume of sweets, why, but why?

But yes my sweet dummy if not they would not work at all (weird translation of a French lullaby)

Je pense que je vais continuer cette serie. Le temps de m'y mettre...C'est fou comme le temps passe vite!

And baby can't sleep because of the house remodeling.
So I'm really sorry but I can't really blog these days! It's a pity I'd love to work on my pictures but I can't reach my computer more than 5mn a day.

J'ai une angine et bebe ne dort pas a cause des travaux...Desolee le blog est en souffrance.
C'est dommage j'avais commence une jolie image mais je n'arrive pas a bosser plus de 5mn par jour! Bon maintenant a vous de trouver qui avait des collants qui tirebouchonnent et et qui avait une robelette avec des oranges...Je continue des que je peux!

I forgot about this one. It was hidden in a folder. It's about the day we moved, it rained that day, we even had a small hailstorm. It's not common in California. The baby was moving in my belly and the plum trees were blossoming.

Yesterday some of you described what they were wearing when they were little and I found that really inspiring, I made some doddles while rocking my son...So here is a question:

What was your favorite look when you were a child?

L'autre jour le voisin a elague son bananier, la poubelle debordait de feuilles immenses, je trouve cela tres exotique. Moi j'ai un citronnier dans mon jardin...

Dites hier  vous avez commence a raconter vos souvenirs de robelettes, j'ai trouve cela tres mignon et j'ai commence a faire quelques images (bon, 2 croquis, en bercant Bebe Joli) sur ce que cela m'a inspire.
Donc question :  quelle etait votre  tenue preferee quand vous etiez petit(e)?
J'attends vos commentaires avec impatience.

Moi c'etait une robe a smocks en vichy rouge et blanc, avec des manches ballon. Je l'aimais tellement que ma maman a refait la meme  3 fois pendant que je grandissais.
