Life with Mila...at the beach

This week, we are at the beach....I'm painting a few bits and pieces in the house, changing the hobb and sanding the kitchen bench in this other house, Steve is adding a door & windows to the tree house and at the end of each day, we go to the beach...
I took the minx to the haircoiffeur* yesterday. She wanted a fringe....I swear since she got it, she seemed to have developped some kind of over "I'm too cute" type of thing confidence...as if more was needed!

Morning:
Mila: "Maman, can you bring me a mirror pleeaasse" (fringe novelty obliges)
Me: "Why don't you move your little bum and drag yourself in front of the mirror!"

Afternoon:
Mila: "Maman...why do you always paint everything in white?"
Me: "Because I love it! White interiors calm me down"
Mila: "Yeah but you always paint everything white, white, white...I thought you liked blue"
Me: "I do. I love colours on clothes but at home, I like white because then I can add a few touches of colours"
Mila: "It's boring!" - tiens prend ca maman

End of the day (at the beach, Mila found a stone in the shape of a taurus head)
Me: "It looks great...are you going to paint it white?"
Mila: "Non! It's mine! I've found it, I carry it and I will paint the colour I want"
La voila....

Hier, j'ai emmene Mila chez le haircoiffeur*. Elle voulait une frange....Je jurerais que depuis qu'elle l'a, sa confiance en elle a monte d'un cran...comme si il y en avait besoin!

Le matin:
Mila: "Maman, tu peux m'apporter un miroir pleeaasse" (forcement la frange est neuve)
Moi: "Pourquoi tu ne bouges pas tes petites fesses toute seule devant le miroir!"

Apres-midi:
Mila: "Maman...pourquoi tu peins toujours tout en blanc?"
Moi: "Parce que j'aime ca! Les interieurs blancs ca me calme"
Mila: "Yeah mais tu peins toujours tout en blanc, blanc blanc...Je croyais que tu aimais le bleu"
Moi: "Oui et j'aime les couleurs sur les vetements mais a la maison, je prefere le blanc."
Mila: "It's boring!" - tiens prend ca maman

En fin de journee (a la plage, Mila trouve une pierre qui ressemble a une tete de taureau)
Moi: "Elle est chouette...tu vas la peindre en blanc?"
Mila: "Non! c'est ma pierre! Je l'ai trouve, je la porterais et je la peindrais de la couleur que je veux!"
La voila....
