I do like to amuse myself with my limited French and often call out "l'homme vert" when I see the green man light up at the crossings.
!!! Ha! We are birds of a feather! I say the same thing! And when I was taking the boys to French Music lessons I used to say a bit more... throw the occasional "Allons y!" around as well etc. And once, to my extreme delight, my 2yo decided to wave to everyone in our local plaza saying "Au revoir!" and a little old lady stopped and exclaimed "Oh! How delightful! You don't often hear little children speaking French in Australia!" I didn't want to risk ruining the image so I just smiled and said "Merci!" and kept going!

There's a good CD called "Teach Your Baby French" which includes lots of everyday phrases that you would use with a toddler... but unfortunately the accent is French Canadian... but it's still useful.... and my 2yo loves listening to it. I'm a real sucker when it comes to buying any kind of teaching resource in French for children... it's a great way to learn though, as a mum too.

My DH and DD love Degraves Street too... and I'll check out that baguette shop... but I'm just as happy to go to Laurent... especially early of a Saturday morning when there's a lady that works there behind the counter with a really strong French accent... I can sit back with my brekkie and almost believe I am in Paris!
