Thought of the day ...

"If you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about death and you hasten your demise. Think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes more secure, more fraught with action, richer in achievement and experience." - Edward Rickenbacker

So .... THINK POSITIVELY !

PS : Edward Vernon Rickenbacker (October 8th, 1890 – July, 27th, 1973) was an American fighter ace in WWI and Medal of Honor recipient.
He was also a race car driver and automotive designer, a government consultant in military matters and a pioneer in air transportation.
During his lifetime, Rickenbacker worked with many influential civilian and military leaders. He had keen insight into technology, and vision for future improvements. Among other events, he participated in or observed Armistice Day on the Western Front.

2 kids again with their mom ...

Yep !

After having waited for 6 anguishing and cruel years ... Mélanie and Lorenzo could hug their mom again... today in a plane landed in Bogota.

She left 2 teenagers and she finds ... 2 adults. Nothing will be able to bring them back these 6 years stolen...

To celebrate my first Mom Day, Valerie, Alex's sweet childminder helped him to make this small gift.

As you would expect, she ... did everything that he was not yet capable of doing!

Mum, I love You.

This is the beautiful poem that adorned my nice gift :

Mum I love you,

When I am afraid,
I take your hand,
And in my heart,
The light gets it !

When I am hurt,
You take my tears,
And in my soul
I don't suffer anymore !

Mum I love you !

Simply.

Dirty lactose !

Alex suffers of eczema.
He had a blood test.
Since yesterday we we know that he is allergic to lactose.

1. Not to diversify its food before he is 6 months old.
2. Give to him therapeutic milk until it is one year old.
3. As soon as diversification has begun, carefully read all labels on products that we buy to make sure they do not contain lactose (even a minute amount and negligible).

In a few weeks, he will meet an allergist who will make tests and will tell us if it is allergic to other products or not.

It is possible that allergies disappear once a year, what we hope with all our heart!

A baby boy is so pretty,
He is beyond imagination,
He brings life into a house,
Congratulations.

Otherwise, it is doing very well: it took 4 months ago 3 days and yesterday at the pediatrician, he weighed 6340 kg and measured 65 cm ....
He also had his Second vaccinations without any side effects !
