Our Easter week end passed relatively well, but it was a week end like another.
Friday, Marc didn't work (that it is not usual). After Arthur's nap, we went to the park. Arthur played well as usual. He loves the swing, but he has an attraction for the swivel (not his parents!!) Marc and Arthur played on the grass, it was beautiful to see.
Something odd happened that day. As there was a large sun (yes it can happen in England!), I put my sunglasses. While going to the park, I walked beside Arthur who looked at me intensely. Then we played as I mentioned above. At the end of the day, the sun setting down, I removed my glasses. And there, the expression of Arthur's face said: “but I know that one! “
Because we had to go back home, I took Arthur in my arms. He started to yell as if I were kidnapping him. He wanted to go in Marc's arms! He had a crisis at least 10 minutes! I ignored him, Marc gave him his bath and after that, I was his mum again.
I don't know what happen in his small head, but the sunglasses don't do it to him
Sabrina, Marc's sister, arrived from Paris that evening.
Saturday, Arthur was not well at all. He coughed, his nose ran a lot, he cried most of the day and especially when Sabrina approached him too close. To say how much he was not well, he cried at the park whereas usually when he sees the swings he is very happy!
We decided to stay at home for the rest of the week end, so he could get better.
We spent our last two days to discuss between girls, to play with Arthur and especially Sabrina try to be friend with him. It worked: he launched himself out in her arms to kiss her (videos to come).
Sabrina also decided to cut his hair in front of his eyes, because it was really too long. They were two to do it, he cried, they gave up and now Arthur has a pretty asymmetrical fringe, but apparently it is the fashion and after all it will grow back!

Another innovation of the week end, when I called Marc in the house, Arthur followed me while shouting “MA, MA, MA”, I am not sure he knows he is supposed to say Papa instead!
Sabrina left Tuesday evening, we came back in our routine. Apparently at Fiona's, that day, Arthur said Maman when waking up from his nap and he said “bye, bye” waving at Fiona when leaving! I wasn't there, shame!
Today, we went to the twins Ethan and Emily's birthday, but Ethan had a nap so we didn't see him. Arthur had fun in their garden and he was very buddy with their dad. At one point, their dad (Andy) went inside the house and Arthur said: “Bye, bye, Papa”. I don't think he understood the meaning of Papa yet.
On the way home, he shouted all the time: “Bye, bye” waving to all those which passed by!
When we came back, I tidied our cloth and when I finished, I found Arthur in the basket. Marc succeeds to take only the moment when he went out of it all alone without falling!

Health wise, after a few nights washing his nose, ventoline masks , paracetamol, humidifier, he is much better. Fortunately he had an injection today!
Here we go for Easter post, the next one will come in a while, my brother is here with his family for one week.
In no related matter, we tested the tunic which I brought to Arthur from Egypt, he is adorable with it!

We will soon finish the Arthur's bedroom (it would be time), but here is a preview of the photographs from the decoration.
