- I received a lot of presents for Mother's Day yesterday. Elias made me a beautiful drawing, and he wrote his name! Aurore went into the garden and she gathered a pretty bouquet. And Jonathan gave me a pair of silver earrings. And you, what did you get ? - This year, the twins worked with their dad to make me a very special present. Together, they built a gorgeous rocking chair for when I read them stories. I was very moved!

I'll be right with you...
