Un, Deux,...Quatre!

Day three was...well, it was hard, I'm not gonna lie. It all began at 6 in the morning, when I got up to get ready and at 7 me and Estelle woke the kids up. We washed them and then we all ate some breakfast. It was all good, at 8 we left the house and went drop Garance off at her school. Gaspard goes to kindergarten only on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. That's why me, Estelle and Gaspard, we all parked the car at P + R parking and took the tram (because Gaspard adores the tram!) into the centre of Bordeaux. Estelle showed me where my school is, some shops and then she helped me buy the card for the public transportation! And she told me they are going to pay for it...it is not that bad, 17 euros per month, but it is really nice of them to do so. The city is very, very beautiful. We didn't spend much time there, because Estelle was tired (no wonder, her belly is HUGE!) and Gaspard was not behaving well. He was crying and screaming and he didn't listen to any of us.
When we got home, we all ate lunch. Even Julien came home from work to eat with us. Gaspard listens only to him. He calmed down a little and took a quick nap.
At 3 PM we took Gaspard to his Orthodonthist, it is a specialist for speaking (Gaspard can barely speak). As I found out, the session takes 30 minutes and we wait for him in a waiting room. Thank God they have lots of good magazines there :)

I read an article about Kate Middleton and I understood most of it, so I feel pretty good now ;-)

And of corse I had to take a picture of the Longchamp add in the magazine...

After we left the Orthodontist, it was already almost five. We picked up Garance at school, Estelle dropped us off at the house and left again, for a school reunion. This is when the Hell began. I was supposed to wash the kids, but Gaspard was not listening to me or cooparating. I was litteraly fighting with him. He was slapping me and punching me all the time and biting me in my hand. No matter what I did, he wouldn't stop. Estelle told me that I can slap him if he's like that, so I did and it didn't help at all. He would slap me back. Normally I would pick him up and leave him in the room, but would pinch me and scratch me with his nails and bite me with his mouth. Plus he was so heavy...It was really really bad. After a while, I managed to wash him and dress him. Then I had to do the same with Garance and he wouldn't let me. I told him to wait. When I was drying Garance, he climbed on to my back, he started scratching my arms until they bled and suddenly, he bit me very very hard on my back while pulling all of my hair out. It hurt so bad. And I couldn't shake him off. At that moment I was gonna pack my stuff and leave on the next plane...After we played a little, but he was still really mean to everybody, even to his sister and he wouldn't calm down. 

Luckily, Estelle came home in a while. I told her what had happened and she punished Gaspard, but he wouldn't listen to her either. She told Julian when he came home and Julian closed Gaspard in his room, he slapped him a little and then he made him go to bed without listening to a fairytale...I hope he learned something from it, because tomorrow, there is another school reunion (parent's conference) and I really don't want to get bitten like that again...
