Sometimes I pretend Dimitri, Victor and Hugo are my brothers, because being a big sister seems a lot sweeter than being an au pair. We have a lot of fun! After one month, they seem to have taken to me rather well. By no means is every day perfect, but I'm thankful.
This past week I walked through Le Palais Royal, attended Vogue Paris' Fashion Night out, and took Dimitri and Victor to Polo de Paris (the polo club) for karate and horseback riding. I visited Elvire where she works at le Musée du Quai Branly, met with new friends at the AntiCafe, and explored le Musée National d'Histoire Naturelle. In Paris, there are always adventures awaiting curious travelers.
Things:
-Elvire referred to me as "our little chef." I was so encouraged!
-Little boys love burping and hitting each other in places that shan't be named.
-Not all the French forget deodorant, but when they do, it's bad. I nearly passed out in an elevator today. And on a bench. And on the metro.
-This is 2013. It's time to invent low-fat croissants and install non-reflective glass in museums.
-Please pray that I will have more patience with the boys.
-Please pray against my fear of making mistakes, and pray the parents continue to show grace for my repeated ones.
"For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."
