We woke up this morning at 10am, after giving Miles a second bath last night at 10pm in order to redo his routine to get him back to sleep….Groundhog Day! The apartment we are staying in is nice, clean, and has tons of toys, including a helicopter, tractor, and plastic farm animals. Miles has a new favorite game invented by Daddy called, “is this a zebra?” (response! no, it’s cow!!!)
Had some coffee and croissants at a nice outdoor cafe, and hopped on the Metro. Miles loved the trains!
We visited the Champs de Mars park, in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, which Miles calls “Big Tower”. There were so many kid friendly things — big playground with a train and bouncy spring riders, a merry go round, donkeys to pet, grass to run around on, and even a go-kart track! We were able to run around the base of the Eiffel Tower and Miles checked out the drains…FYI, they did have “wa-tah”.
There were lots of statues to look at (can’t believe Miles pointed to one and said “statue” but he does live in NYC), including a little naked boy, obviously about to take a bath per Miles. Lauren and Ivan: to the statue holding up his hands, Miles remarked, AFUFUFU!!!
Miles took a stroller nap and we ducked into a brasserie for some lunch. Unfortunately it turned cloudy, but we called it a day around 6:30!
A bientot!
