Plan
Sitting by a full length window that open out onto a balcony. What morning light is being let though by the dark, gray clouds fills the room. Rain is pouring down outside.
But, it is okay because it is Paris rain!
The girls are up way too early, as usual. We've had breakfast watched two episodes of the Pink Panther - quiet appropriately in French, and now have moved on to Tom and Jerry. The are trying very hard to stay quiet and let daddy get some sleep.
"But, it's Paris!!" We have to go see the tower and find Remi and Emil and eat a Gousteaus, and see where the Hunchback stays and go paint on the river, and..."
Taylor has plans and doesn't plan to be deterred by a little rain.
She stands before me wearing her raincoat, her sister's shoes carrying and empty toilet paper roll, a piece of paper and a crayon. "I have to go out on the balcony and see where we and going and make a map."
Gotta love a girl with a plan.

A girl with a plan is a girl after my own heart! Can't wait to hear how the food is at Gousteau's.

Love your blogs! I am shouting from the rooftops the praises of this website: www.kids-save.com. Its parent/child involved and is wonderful in teaching the value of earning money and the importance of using it wisely. The parent lists the chores, the child reviews them and checks them off accordingly as they finish them. They are able to monitor their bank's growth or decline, based on their chores completion. They also accrue points that enable them to build a kingdom, my boys love this part! Anyway, no more long lists of chores and hassling, they love doing this and its such a positive way to enforce the skills of hard work, earned money and using it wisely. Its kids-save.com. Go mother go!!
