Heat wave
The weather this week was no fun, hot and muggy. Like nearly all French families, we don't have air conditionning (an honestly, we would hardly ever need it since it rarely gets this hot), but to make matters worse Lille is being overrun by thrips so we had to close the windows a lot of the time! And it wasn't just me and Emilie who weren't enjoying it:
Luckily his momma was there to pull out all the stops: cool washcloth, vaporizer spray, and a fan picked up at his uncle Tom's wedding:
Emilie said that the spray was the funniest thing to use: every time, James would get a panicked look on his face when she sprayed him, and get ready to cry. Then when he felt the coolness in the seconds that followed, a smile would come to his face.
Luckily we had a good rainshower yesterday and the temperature has finally descended, so it looks like we survived!
