It’s been a long time since I’ve had to seriously think about the value or importance of being physically big (at work we’re always contemplating how we can become big in monetary terms). Maxime however seems to be somewhat preoccupied with it. He has just started his second year at school. After last year in “Petite Section”, he has now moved into the “Moyenne Section”. This change has not escaped him. In fact it has become a regular justification for a number of different, completely unrelated things e.g. I don’t have to hold your hand anymore because I’m in Moyenne Section, I can eat chocolate now because I’m in Moyenne Section, I can "--- insert phrase of your choosing ---" now because I’m in Moyenne Section. The other big change in Maxime’s development over the last couple of weeks is the fact that he has started to display one character trait that both of his parents possess; he’s becoming somewhat competitive… He happily beats his 2 year old brother and sister in the shortest of running races and he proudly exclaims that he is a “winner”. I’m already starting to see the advantages of this development; it’s never been so easy to get him to run up the stairs, brush his teeth and get his nappy on (yes he’s not that big yet) and into bed.
