Kid Update

Axel's favorite books: Cromignon; Les deux goinfres; Chewy Louie; Big Book.

Luka's favorite books: Junie B. Jones series

Axel's favorite TV show: T'Choupi Tch tcha tcha (really called Premier Bal). He is crazy for this and has seen it at least 100 times...probably more. I wish I could the audio. He loves dancing to it. I set the DVD player to loop to avoid manually playing it a zillion times. Then, we dance together at the dancing part, "Mommy, dance with me!"

Luka's fav TV watching: he has not been watching a lot of TV lately, but L'age de glace 2 is still up there, with Le mystère des jouets, and he liked Polar Express that he saw at school and we bought for him (French version at home). Pretty intense flick.

Axel's favorite song: I'd have to say that is "The Witch Doctor - oo ee ah ah". Yes, I have been privileged to hear that at least 100 times as well....in the car, in the house, walking the kids to school singing it, in my dreams... :) But they have so much fun with it. Axel loooooves dancing to this and T'Choupi (above) and any song he can.

Luka's fav song: not really a song, but "scary" stories from a Target Halloween CD: The Graveyard Dare, The Ghost with One Back Eye, Pirate Captian John, and The Slithery Dee. He also likes "The Witch Doctor" and "Dem Bones."

They both are really into drawing now too. Luka likes making "books" by drawing on pieces of paper, adding text, and stapling them together.

Luka loves doing his homework and learning to read. He read his first book all by himself. It is called "Penguins On Vacation". Pretty exciting. THe second one he is working on is "Don't be Afraid, Monster".
