		<description><![CDATA[Every time I think about Tadpole&#8217;s upcoming sixth birthday party I am filled with dread. In previous years I&#8217;d always had a cast-iron excuse not to throw one. When she was three, for example, Tadpole hadn&#8217;t yet started pre-school and only knew the two other children our childminder cared for. Despite the fact that we&#8217;d [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=petiteanglaise.com&amp;blog=14262311&amp;post=1112&amp;subd=petiteanglaise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am shelling peas in the kitchen while listening to some vintage Aphex twin when I realise that Tadpole has gone disturbingly quiet. &#8216;Sweetie? What are you up to?&#8217; I call, peering over the bar, from which vantage point I can see the whole of our open-plan apartment. Save the bathroom and toilet, that is.

		<description><![CDATA[I introduced the idea of a new addition to our family several months ago, long before I began taking folic acid or dispensed with taking &#8216;precautions&#8217;. Tadpole was predictably delighted at the prospect of having a little brother or sister to fuss over and urged me to &#8216;put a baby in my tummy&#8217; as soon [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=petiteanglaise.com&amp;blog=14262311&amp;post=1072&amp;subd=petiteanglaise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The belated honeymoon holiday was sublime and I wanted to blog about it, really I did. But ever since I got [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=petiteanglaise.com&amp;blog=14262311&amp;post=1070&amp;subd=petiteanglaise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s almost bedtime and having just popped a decidedly honeymoon bikini-unfriendly gratin into the oven, I&#8217;m putting my feet up for a moment. Tadpole pads out of the bathroom wearing a towel, her hair gathered up into a curly knot on top of her head. For the past two months, the next part of our [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=petiteanglaise.com&amp;blog=14262311&amp;post=1065&amp;subd=petiteanglaise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tadpole and I hurry along the cobbled street, hand in hand, trying to avoid the patches of black ice that have formed overnight. An anxious glance at my watch reveals that it is 8.28, and I quicken my pace. Tadpole is chattering nineteen to the dozen about the coming day at school. &#8216;We&#8217;re going to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=petiteanglaise.com&amp;blog=14262311&amp;post=1060&amp;subd=petiteanglaise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I take out Tadpole&#8217;s carnet de santé, the notebook which was presented to me at the hospital when she was born, in which doctors record the reason for every visit and the fill in the vaccinations she&#8217;s received. The entries within are sparse, to say the least. This is partly because Tadpole has enjoyed remarkably [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=petiteanglaise.com&amp;blog=14262311&amp;post=1051&amp;subd=petiteanglaise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

It takes me a while to spot Tadpole.

I snuggle into Tadpole&#8217;s back, trying to inhale and exhale in time with my daughter, willing my runaway heartbeat to slow. At lunchtime I&#8217;ll collect Tadpole from the Centre de Loisirs, leap into a taxi, and deliver her into the waiting arms of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=petiteanglaise.com&amp;blog=14262311&amp;post=1002&amp;subd=petiteanglaise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Below is the picture drawn by Tadpole over lunch in a café last weekend, using my favourite book signing pen and a rather grainy, textured napkin. It prompted a lively discussion with The Boy, during the course of which I discovered that not only do the French have two different words for owl, but that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=petiteanglaise.com&amp;blog=14262311&amp;post=999&amp;subd=petiteanglaise&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
