Party time

Today we attended Frédéric's cousin's daughter's First Communion and of course the obligatory family party afterwards. Benjamin had a rough day of it since he didn't get either of his usual two 2-hour naps, but he got a second wind in time to dance before we left. He also shocked the Creole part of the family by eating some spicy food (it wasn't that hot!) and loving it.

Benjamin with his great-aunt Tina and great-uncle Joe who came all the way from Reunion Island! He had of course never met them before. I had met Tina once before but never Joe, and Frédéric had not seen his uncle Joe in 20 years!

We had a good time but Benjamin was more than ready to go to bed when we got home. When I put him in his crib, he started laughing out of sheer happiness to be in his beloved bed.
