Doudou Shopping

One of the words I really like in the French language, of which we don't really have an equivalent in English, is "le doudou". Le doudou is the name for that specific stuffed animal or blanket that a baby becomes strongly emotionally attached to and often sleeps with. In France, it's typically a square-shaped soft handkerchief (probably so it can double as a snot rag) with the head of an elephant or other animal attached. Anyways, Claire (34 weeks pregnant) and her mom went "doudou shopping" last week and we're now all set in the doudou department. We even got a duplicate doudou should the 1st one get lost or for when doudou laundering must take place.

In other news, this movie, Balls of Fury, probably falls into the category of movies that are so bad they actually might be worth watching. It's about ping-pong, or, as the Chinese say, ping-pong.
