Where does rain come from?

Today Beatrice asked Flo where rain came from. A bit startled by the question (not a question you'd expect from a two-and-a-half year old), Flo responded that rain came from the clouds!

I wondered if Beatrice had really understood the concept so when I got back from work I asked her where rain came from. Beatrice thought for a second, pointed upwards and said "up from the clouds".

Our clever little popje!

Chez Corcutt has moved...

Since we can't easily access Blogger in Syria, plus we've had issues about not having a local copy of our blog for some time (we had a scare once where we lost access to the blog), we're setting up a new blog here which we will use from now on...

Macarons at Paris airport

Flo will be over the moon to discover that she can stock up on her return to Damascus, since a little stall has appeared at the otherwise pretty sparse Charlie of Gaulle airport!

Back in Nederland

We arrived back in Nederland on Sunday to prepare for the arrival of number two in September, since we decided against having the delivery in Damascus. We took Beatrice to see auntie apple and uncle pear at the little fruit and veg stall, who were of course delighted to see her!

Beatrice Counting in the Bath

Beatrice instructed me to go and fetch my phone this evening to take a photo of her lying in the bath. She then put on a little show, counting to ten for the camera. I've now started on teaching her the alphabet, but I must add that we don't have high expectations of little B.
