Thanksgiving in London

Pascale's friend Serena came for a play date the other day. When I brought out the markers, Serena said, "They're coloring pens." I realized that what I really need to do is spend more time with 3-year-olds. Adults never correct my Americanisms, and I could really benefit from someone to adjust my vocabulary.

Josephine is starting a new phase. For the past week, she skipped her nap for 3 days, her vocabulary is exploding, and she's getting much more headstrong. She officially a Terrible Two.

We had Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday, since Bernie had to work on Thursday. A colleague of Bernie's from New York was stranded in London, so we had him over. I think he appreciated a home cooked meal.

We had a hedgehog theme going on this week:

Tom was our guest for Thanksgiving dinner. Notice how Josephine jumps in anyone's lap, but Pascale is a little more reserved.
