Dear Sylvie, today Simon called and asked "Nonna tu es un peu malade?" because of my cavernous voice (cold and cough!). Hearing his sweet voice instantly made me feel better.
He understands Italian, but of course he mainly speaks French, going now also to kindergarten. And when we are together I sing him my lullabies in German and he always says "encore". Btw "encore" was - after maman et papa - the first word he uttered. Now it's a pleasure to talk with him, his depth of thought is amazing. All children now are truly ahead of their age one would say.
Love and hugs.
Margherita
