Arthur is growing up well. He is testing us a lot and it's not easy every day.
He speaks better French. After spending more than six weeks with his mother, including four in Strasbourg, his vocabulary exploded.
Back in England, he speaks in English but not to his parents. I heard him talking to the childminder, the children at the playground ..
For the Italian, he fully understands it, but he doesn't say a lot of words and generally responds to his father in French. The few worda he knows, he doesn't use them with me anymore.
He recently turned 2 and half years old, so I decided to potty train him. It works pretty well. He ask for the potty to wee, sometimes he even manage to undress himself when he has just an underwear or pyjama. For the poo, is not yet done, but I know it takes longer, so I'm not worried.
For the motricity, his new trick is to jump. He is doing it really well.

About Rémi, he had a rather difficult beginning. He was crying all day, was sleeping only in our arms and ate very often which make him vomit.
I went to see some osteopath in England who only managed to make him feel better during the day of treatment, I went to see my chiropractor it was better, but not more than two or three days.
In France, Marc went to see an osteopath-magnetic and he did miracles. Rémi had a problem with his diaphragm, his left shoulder and his left side of the crane. Since then he has been seen, he has no more problems to burp, doesn't cry, except of course when he is hungry or sleepy. He sleeps better during the day and sometimes manages to fall asleep on his own.
Now he is a baby who smiles a lot when he looks at someone, especially his big brother. He is very ticklish and laughs often when he hears us talking (or just looking at Arthur!)
He loves to spend time on his play mat. But doesn't like being on his tummy.
I'll still go to see a physiotherapist because he still turns his head mainly on the right side (in consequence he has a flat skull) and he is often bent to the right side when he is standing or sitting on our knees. I want to be sure he won't have any problem of developement.

This is it for the children. Next episode: the parents.
