Books and Piano

Love to read around here and we recently discovered the Madeline book series by Ludwig Bemelmans. I probably like them as much as Dr. Seuss, not sure about Ella yet but they're great for introducing new vocabulary and some French (and Spanish) words here and there. We read this one last night. It made me reminisce of the days I used to speak pretty good French... "Quels bons moments.."

And Ella started piano lessons. She had her first lesson with Ms. Bell last night. I think we're off to a good start. I'll keep my fingers crossed as we'd really love her to learn to play at least one musical instrument, she's excited so far and wants to practice.
