Benjamin Lacombeâs illustrations create a genius dimension to the already-extraordinary classic novel about the adventures of Alice by Lewis Carroll. This would make an amazing gift!

american parenting
Comme je dĂ©barque avec deux petites filles, je suis vite confrontĂ©e aux Ă©coles, daycare, playgroups et voisines de quartier.Â
Je dĂ©vore instantanĂ©ment le livre âBringing up BĂ©bĂ©â, lâhistoire inverse de la mienne: une amĂ©ricaine Ă Paris qui observe, dĂ©cortique et analyse le French parenting. Cela mâa permis de prendre conscience de ce que je reprĂ©sentais aux yeux dâun US citizen: une maman qui fait confiance Ă son instinct, sâhabille se coiffe et se maquille et sait nĂ©gocier une limite entre les adultes et les enfants. Tout moi quoi. Mouhaha.Â
La premiĂšre diffĂ©rence que jâai observĂ©e câest au square. Confortablement assise sur un banc au soleil en bouffant le gouter des filles, jâai vu de mes yeux vu tous les parents faire des pĂątĂ©s de sable, Ă quatre pattes cachĂ© derriĂšre un buisson, courir en hurlant comme un possĂ©dĂ©Â âpretending to be a monster, Iâm gonna EAT yaaaaaaaaâ... mais quâest ce quâils leur prend?! Ils sont Ă fond, non-stop dĂ©diĂ©s Ă leurs enfants. Avoir un enfant câest redevenir un enfant, manifestement.Â
Ensuite câest Ă lâĂ©cole, une maman qui vient chercher son fils et aprĂšs lâavoir observĂ© dessiner pendant 5 minutes (câest long) lui demande: âAnd now Taylor, would you consider to put your shoes on?â Taylor: âNopeâ. La maman: âAll right sweet heart, let me know when youâre readyâ. Je ne sais pas ce quâelle se dit quand elle mâentend (sans me comprendre) donner des ordres sur un ton peu convivial Ă ZoĂ© pour quâelle enfile ses pompes fissa parce que je suis garĂ©e en double-file..?!
La Californie est une pouponniĂšre: beaucoup de gens viennent de loin pour Ă©lever leurs enfants en plein air, se lover dans le lobby de lâallaitement, vivre librement en legging post-accouchement et bruncher dans nâimporte quel restaurant kids-friendly. Jâadopte lâesprit positif de lâĂ©cole, la foule dâactivitĂ©s proposĂ©es, et je suis heureuse de voir mes filles Ă©panouies ici, mais jâavoue, je nâai pas fait exprĂšs.
Un groupe Facebook me fascine dâun point de vue sociologique: MAIN STREET MAMAS, 100% mamans locales SF. Le forum de questions (que jamais tu tâes posĂ©es) donne un bon aperçu de nos diffĂ©rences culturelles: beaucoup de problĂšmes de co-sleeping tardif, dâenfants qui ne veulent pas porter de chaussures, mais genre jamais, dâallaitement qui dure 4 voir 5 ans...un vrai rĂ©gal de galĂšres parentales et lunaires.
SELECTION en vrac et non-exhaustives dâactivitĂ©s avec les enfants:Â
PLAY HAVEN: un playground couvert conçu comme un grand espace de classe de maternelle avec mur dâescalade et de peinture, des jouets, plein de livres. IdĂ©al un jour fĂ©riĂ© et pluvieux. On ne dĂ©pose pas les enfants, on reste lĂ (typique), mais on peut sâinstaller avec son ordi sur une table et il y a une cuisine avec des capsules Nespresso et des petits snacks ;-)Â
LA PETITE BALEEN: une piscine avec un petit bassin pour les cours de natation et un grand pour les familles. Ici, pas Ă©vident de trouver un cours oĂč lâon ne demande pas aux parents de se mouiller...
HOUSE OF AIR: un grand hangar plein de trampolines gĂ©ants rĂ©partis en catĂ©gories dâĂąges, Ă partir de 3 ans. Ca saute, ça rĂ©sonne mais ça dĂ©foule bien les enfants!
CASTRO THEATRE - SING ALONG: Ă chaque âholidays seasonsâ le mythique cinĂ©ma de Castro met Ă lâaffiche des grands classiques Disney en version karaokĂ©. La salle entiĂšre est dĂ©guisĂ©e et dĂ©chainĂ©e,  il y autant d'enfants que dâadultes gays, une expĂ©rience adorĂ©e et unique.
MISSION DOLORES PARK: un des plus beaux parcs avec une siouperbe vue sur la ville, un playground design et un toboggan gĂ©ant. Câest sympa de se faire un picnic sur les grandes pelouses (note: ça sent grave la weed).
STOW LAKE: un petit lac charmant dans le Golden Gate Park, on peut louer des pĂ©dalos ou une barque, se balader sur lâile, observer des tortues, des canards et que sais-je encore. La Boat House est aussi un restaurant avec des tables au soleil le long du lac.
OFF THE GRID: chaque dimanche, sur une grande pelouse dans le Presidio, une vingtaine de Food Trucks et un DJ animent la journĂ©e, les familles sâinstallent sur une nappe entre amis, trĂšs californien.
Et tous les musées dédiés: CREATIVITY MUSEUM, CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCE, AQUARIUM OF THE BAY, SF ZOO, etc...
Le plus sympa reste quand mĂȘme dâaller Ă la plage au grand air, on fait du cerf-volant et des chateaux de sable, faute de pouvoir se baigner car lâeau est Ă 16 degrĂ©s, le courant est dingue et câest trĂšs âsharkyâ (plein de requins).

We set the table and sat down to eat family dinner. I served food almost course style. Si tried pumpkin soup, feta cheese and mushrooms. I am so proud of her.
I told her she doesn't have to like it but she has to eat it. I am trying to make meal times fun and festive like the French. we had a blast. I will buy table cloths to dress the table nicely with Si.
The book I just finished reading was very nice about blending French culture into north American culture. I am guessing this next book will do the same!
Starting French Twist: An American Mom's experiment in Parisian Parenting -Catherine Crawford.
My unschooling books are almost in. Super excited

I renewed my library card today. I am going to imagine I am French for a little while.
I placed holds on:
Bringing up bébé : one American mother discovers the wisdom of French parenting
French kids eat everything (and yours can, too) : how our family moved to France, cured picky eating, banished snacking and discovered 10 simple rules for raising healthy, happy eaters
French twist : an American mom's experiment in Parisian parenting
 On a side note does anyone have any other recommendations regarding parenting styles, Montessori and unschooling?
