Jo-Jo need Hammer, Jo-Jo hit dog, Dog Woof-Woof
He suddenly, rather excitedly came out with this one just after finishing his milk this morning ! Strange things kids come up with !

Well, Joseph has caught Chicken Pox (In his words “Jo-Jo has Chicken Pox, Same as Daddy”), which was inevitable given that I have just had it for 2 weeks. He has coped pretty well with it so far, definitely better than me! We are in a bit of a sorry state as a family - I’ve just recovered from, first a bad cold, then a stomach bug all around the Ultra-Trail, then tendonitis of the knee, then Chicken Pox, Trace now has a bad Gastro, and Joe has Chicken Pox. Then Sparticat (One of the Kittens) looked like he’d been run over - Luckily he seems to have recovered which is a relief.
Today Joe is still covered in spots but much more jolly and himself. He has even come out with some fairly comedy lines - “Mummy has hair, Jo-Jo has Hair, Daddy has hair, James no hair” ! No idea where this came from, well ok, the James bit might have been slightly prompted!
His speaking is much more confident now. He copies most things you say so we have to watch our more colourful language! His French is also coming on from going to the Creche and the Child Minder.
We went on out first camping trip with the 3 of us to see how it would go. 2 Nights in the Vercors with our friends Pete & Helen and their 2 little ‘ns Thomas and Anna.
Joe loved camping, as it meant he was outside all the time. He tore around the campsite, playing on the “Slide-a” and making lots of new friends, including quite a few Girl friends !
Pictures here:
There was a really bright double rainbow yesterday evening which we took Joe out to see and he was really impressed - Isn’t it amazing we said - he replied “Mazing”! Now when we say rainbow he says “Mazing” with a big sweep of his arms to indicate the rainbow.
Boois is what Joe calls his Orange waterproof jacket ! I have no idea why he calls it Boois or what it means, but he is quite definite about what Boois is ! It’s funny that he seems to make up words for things, but I guess it’s all part of learning language - it’s also quite ingenious - maybe I should try that with French !
Another word is “Tinny” which is anything round, or things that go round, including flashing lights, and cable cars.
This was what Joe said when he saw the photo’s of the kitchen Wall being knocked down! And it was a big mess - There is rubble all over the floor now. Still it’s progress.
I’m putting photo’s in a photo-stream which you can find at the bottom of the sidebar on the right. Click it to see them all.
Joe’s talking is really coming on fast - that was pretty much his first full sentence. He now copies everything you say.
In the last few weeks Joe has started to say a lot more words. Sometimes he comes out with things which are totally unexpected. He started saying Fizz and it took us a while to work it out, but he was pointing to the fizzy mineral water that we sometimes have, so he wanted the fizzy water ! He now says Fizz when he wants some fizzy water mixed with a bit of juice. He can also now say “Marmite” (Which he likes!), “Railway”, ChooChoo which means Thomas the tank engine. He says Fly, Fire, Down, Up, Out and In, and Snow, and also Keys, and Cheese !
We managed to get some little plastic skis for Joe and took him up to Les Contamines for a ski. He seemed to really love it - charging around quite happily. There is a little video below.
There was a street event taking place in Chamonix on Christmas Eve involving a huge fire breathing dragon which we thought Joe might like, so we thought that we would go and watch.
Even though he was feeling a bit ill, he still seemed to enjoy the show! See the video here.
Joe now recognises Santa as he has several cuddly Farther Christmi at home! He was very pleased to see Father Christmas at the Launch of the Season fireworks in the Village, as well as seeing some of his reindeer.
