Jack's Day!

Taken at an Indian restaurant around 10pm - the time we finally got to Exeter, England. Mango lassi was a big hit.
Jack's preschool officially ended last Friday, closing with a special excursion to that great park with the tunnel-slides built into a hillside. It was Jack's first roadtrip complete with lunch.

"Pedibus" are organized walks to and from school, where children hold hands and are guided by volunteer parents. A recent promotion to support getting around by foot and cutback on car traffic, Jack's preschool went pedibus-fashion to his outing.

Jack is more seamlessly blending French and English, counting to 10, singing Happy Birthday, asking, "sava?" ("how are you?"), and telling you, "attendre!" (stop! wait!)". He couldn't do the animal sounds in preschool (quack & moo apparently have their national dialects), but he had a blast anyway. We note that his early scrawl progressed to more intentional wiggles and curves.
