"He would probably try to eat it," says Elsie. "I'm not sure, in this case, if that would be because he's little and babies do that, or because trying to eat things amuses him in general." She holds up her recently bitten finger.

Aedyt laughs.

The baby beams innocently.

"You're a little nibbler," Elspeth tells Harley. "With that habit it's a good thing you aren't very toothy and sharp."

"Nibbler!" he repeats gleefully.

"Yes. Maybe we should find some tasty French food for you to try nibbling when it's lunchtime."

"I'm a food nibbler!" he asserts.

"I sure hope so!" says Aedyt, amused.

"If you weren't you'd get very hungry," laughs Elsie. "Look, up there, above that building you can see the Eiffel Tower." She holds Harley up above her head for a better look.

"Ooooooh," says Harley.

"It's more impressive up close." She sits him on her shoulders, steadying him with one hand. "We're almost there."

"Oooooh," he repeats, crossing his arms and resting them on top of her head.
