The Eurostar was wonderful as always but it's a long and tiring 3 days...
The teachers are on strike here in France today and so Alex stayed home with me all day. She spent most of the morning doing her homework and some additional punishment that her teacher had given her (write 100 times "I will listen and I will not whistle in class").
After lunch I took her to La Défense to finally get her ear's pierced. This was her belated birthday present as she had a bad cold on the day of her birthday and we didn't want to take the risk of piercing her ears while she was sick.
She picked out the most expensive pair of earrings they offer for piercing and was all giggly. But she was very, very frightened when she sat down in the chair. She cried even before she got pierced. She cried for a bit afterwards as well. We joked around but she definitely did not enjoy the experience. In the end though she is very pleased and proud of the result.
I'm just glad that part is over with... now to just disinfect 'em twice a day for the next 6 weeks!
