Sledding




Our friends Celine and Laurent invited us to spend the day at Isola 2000. Raphael and his friend Benjamin went sledding. Before we left the house, Raphael had to try on all the gear.

When we arrived, he had to pretend that he likes the snow.

Then the fun started.

Gramma Gramma!





My mom came to visit, and Raphael spent 2 weeks yelling "Gramma! Gramma!" for any and all occasions. He loved having yet another person to perform for.

He also trailed her around the apartment, handing her slippers when she was walking around in her shoes and, in general, showing her the ropes of living in House of Robelin. He picked up little odds and ends that fell from her purse, declared them "sale" and dumped them in the trash. He took his toys out and put them away.

It has been difficult for me to adapt to the world of Type A personalities, but I'm glad this comes naturally for Raphael. His little corner of the punnet square is clearly AA (anal retentive apparently being a dominant personality trait).
