I Hate My Coat, by Alice

As I've mentioned before, Alice hates outerwear. I don't think she realizes it's no longer summer. And Berlin has gotten much colder much faster than home. Here's a fun video of Alice hating her coat on a 40 degree day at the playground. Meanwhile, Leah is blissfully playing in the sand.

Perhaps she'll cover The Seasons at day care when we get home. Otherwise, it's going to be a long winter.

Ode to Ice Cream

For the last few days, we've been going to the park after our afternoon naps, riding the carousel and getting gelato ice cream cones ("cono"). We then find a park bench to devour the cones -- and Mom "cleans up" any drips ... or potential drips. Yum!

Just before I took this video, Alice sighed and said "I love ice cream."

The Paris Playground Tour - Day 1

More than anything, I think I'll be seeing a lot of the Paris playground. Here's a video of the one by the Eiffel Tower. Sorry for the shakiness!

I'll try to capture video of something other than a playground tomorrow.
