Oda the Mermaid Girlfriend

We've been going to the beach with Philippe almost every day in the last week. The weather (and the water) have been warmer than usual and we all enjoy being in the water at the end of the day.

Philippe seems to enjoy it more every day. He looks at the coming waves with eyes wide open and likes to feel them breaking on his legs. If the water is warm enough he goes as deep as his chest... otherwise we sit in the sand for a few moments. Quite calming after an exciting day of playing on the floor, rolling, screaming and talking in the heat of summer.

Hier, quand je lui ai mis son maillot, on dirait qu'il savait ce qu'on allait faire. Il s'est mis a jaser tout seul pendant que je mettait mon maillot a mon tour. "Oda, Oda, Oda, Da, da, da!" Peut-etre qu'Oda est une sirene de Halfmoon Bay et que Philippe en est amoureux...

After the beach, into the hot shower with Dad to rinse off the salt and sand, lotion on his skin to keep it soft, a nice pyjama and a feed. Makes a good start for an early night! Philippe a des journees bien remplies ces jours-ci!

Sur la photo (29 Decembre dernier) c'etait sa premiere fois a la plage. L'eau etait froide et Philippe n'a pas trop apprecie...
