I think I am going to like living in Paris. It’s only been four days and I’ve already learned how to make a delicious fish dinner. I could be the next Julia Child. We had no idea what “aiglefin” was when we saw it at the Biocoop, our local organic supermarket, but it looked pretty good. We looked it up when we got home and it turns out to be haddock!

We’ve been exploring the city and settling into our cute little apartment these last few days. Last night we put the baby in the Ergo and went out for a moonlit stroll. Up over one bridge, across the canal, and back over another bridge. We peeked into the windows of the adorable bars and restaurants full of pretty people having fun, and started wishing for a babysitter. How lucky we were to have found this spot. Now if we can just get lucky enough to find a nice French nanny we’ll be all set.

Elodie visited Sacre Coeur, Palais Royal, and the Tuleries for the first time and she adored them all. Chasing the pigeons proved to be endless fun. It’s definitely a different experience being in Paris with a toddler. I’m hoping to find some kid-friendly cafés in the coming days. Let me know if you have any suggestions and if you know any babysitters in Paris.
