More firsts

This is probably a bit of a guilt page for not including more about Tristan. He also has had some first in the last few weeks...

First tree climbed (not easy in wellies)

First competitive race at the preschool he goes to on a Friday morning - he came second (out of three!).

First full meal of mussels

...and first French lessons. He now has 3 hours of French a week to de-anglicise him and try and get him to say something more than 'oui' and 'non' (a lot) . I think the thing that made him enthusiastic was all the kit (the cap, sweatshirt and especially the pencil case!). PS don't magnify this as you would see he has a black eye from falling over (the black eye is another first) of course with Sam its at prime time for seeing health professionals which I think was my first reaction rather than concern!
