A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

Another beautiful day in Brittany.  It was sunny this morning so we left around 11 for Primel.  The beach was so warm it felt like early September.  Juliet and I worked on a sand castle although we didn't get very far; every time we had a good start she would say, "No, no.  Let's do it this way..." and we would start all over again.  We had lunch at Au Gouter Breton and finally got the crepes we had longed for yesterday!  Back to Morlaix for naps and a visit from Emilie,Jeanne's friend, and her two daughters.

Jeanne made a wonderful quiche for dinner and we ate a little earlier so we could get Juliet to bed sooner.  Again she didn't protest too much as she was so tired.  Her days have been long; she is struggling to learn her new role as the older child with a baby who's getting a lot of attention.  She has been punished a lot for acting out, and of course it's hard for me to see her upset and sad.  But I realize that she has to mind her mother, especially when it comes to James.  She is too prone to love him so much she practically squeezes the stuffing out of him!  And she can't be disrespectful to her grandparents or parents.

James still has a fussy time at night, usually between 7 and 10.  I remember Matthew had the same thing for a few months after he was born.  It's nothing serious but again diffcult to hear the wee ones cry in pain or discomfort.  Which he seems ready to do right now, so I'm signing off for today.
