Dix Mois

How do you count to ten in French? Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix. Arrgghhhhh.... That's why I can never learn French. Too complicated for my pea brain. 残念です (meaning "its a pity" in Japanese). I guess I'm just more inclined to speak the a-i-u-e-o.

Anyway, I found out ten months is dix mois (pronounced "dees-mwah") in French! Why do I bother? Because my gals celebrate their 10-month birthday today! Joyeux Anniversaire!!! Its an achievement, isn't it? At least its another milestone for me. Hee! Got them both dressed in a new set of outfit today. White dress with little pink flowers embroidered on it. How sweet... and I could imagine us playing by a river cottage in the faraway English meadows. Kekeke...

Well, none of the gals met Di's KPI for them to walk by today. But at least Xuan has managed to achieve standing on her own 2 feet without support (for a while) for about a week now. Great job!!! Di has given them an extension till October and hopefully they'll be able to walk during their 1st birthday party. Way to go!!!

Now, what shall we have for their 1st birthday party? Who should we invite? Where would the party be held? How many cakes should we get? One for both or two for each of them? What cartoon characters for the cake(s)? Their favourite Sesame Street ones? If yes, should it be Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Ernie & Bert, Oscar, Zoey, the Count... or the whole Sesame Street gang? Oh my!!! This is killing me... How about we just order pizza? 62-35-35-35 . Its so easy to dial... Kekeke...
