You are beaming… Is this September going well?
I’m on cloud nine! I approached this new school year with a zenitude that I had never known. Since July and the arrival of my son, Tim, I have been levitating.

So I spent my summer bottle-feeding him, playing and getting to know him. The first smiles are coming, he reacts a lot to my voice. I even see his eyes widen when he hears it in a trailer for France 2 ! I talk to him a lot, I tell him his story, that dad has a special job… This happiness is beyond what I had imagined. Tim has turned my life upside down.
