Manet and the Easter Bunny

August lost a baby tooth on Saturday thanks to Anand's well-placed yank. She woke up yesterday and found 2 Euros from the tooth fairy and a bunch of candy eggs all over the Paris apt from the Easter Bunny.



















I also gave her the marzipan pig she had picked out earlier.










It was missing all extremities a short while later.

Later that day, we went to the Orsay museum and saw the Manet exhibit.

Not allowed to take pictures, so here are some links.

August had this to say about the Manet breakfast-nude: "that's pretty funny because a bug is going to bite her butt."
Breakfast-nude

Of the one where a Frenchman is chatting up a lady, August said: He looks like he's thinking "now's-my-chance". She looks like she's thinking, "I'll try but, ummm..." The Garden

Of "Olympia", August said she looked bored. Until then, I hadn't realized Manet was an early feminist of sorts. Olympia


August wanted to show off her missing tooth afterwards.










We capped off Easter Sunday with a visit to the park and a delicious dinner at Glou.

Fewer lawyers in France, so the equipment is scarier=more fun.









Here, the kids play chicken. If both kids hang on, instead of jumping off, they'll smash into one another on the pulley swing. Ouch!








Climbing structure that's pretty darn high.










Merry go round with a contest where the winner gets nothing. French lesson in life. Bonne chance!
