- There are buskers everywhere. Even when riding on the metro. Yes, we could a couple of accordian shows. Isaac is particularly mesmerized by each type of musical performance.
- Directly downstairs from our apartment, we are blessed with a bakery, a chocolate store, a creperie, cheese store, Berthillon ice cream store, a convenient store. Within a block away, we have a pharmacy, foie gras and truffles store, confectionary store, a butchery, and small beautiful restaurants with many breakable glasses. Talk about convenience. Each neighbourhood is supposed to have their own set of these conveniently stores.
- There are crepes everywhere. It's their fast food.
- Chloe's diet consists of baguette, pain au chocolat (chocolate croissant), and Nutella crepes every day.
- The baguettes! The croissants! The macarons! Foie gras! Oh la la!
- By now we are very lax with letting Isaac crawl anywhere so the poor kid isn't strapped in all day. Yes, we get some dirty disapproving looks, but hey that's what the wipes and hand sanitizers are for. Most people have big smiles when they see him. Let him grow!
- Isaac now says mama, dada, and jie jie (big sister), and mum mum (to eat). Every time we eat something good, he yells mum mum and pounces for it.
