In case you aren't aware, Eila is currently learning two languages. She is very ambitious and, of course, exceptionally bright. I am speaking exclusively in French and everyone else (except for Julie, Laurent, and a few other francophone friends) speak English with and around her. While she hasn't started speaking just yet, she has a few cute nicknames that she really seems to like (she gets called them a lot and sometimes quiets down after one of these is said) from both languages.

French: la fille (the girl), ma puce (my little bug), ma mignonette (my cutie), and mon ninange (my little angel)

English: the girl, babies, my little noodle (not as much now as at the very beginning), nina (that's actually Spanish, but used by her father...)
