It seems like so long ago when we were in the States with family and friends. Alas, we've made the most of the two weeks we've been back. Last week we had to move. We were super lucky and were able to move into the apartment right below ours. There are so many reasons why I am happy we didn't have to move far, one of them being that moving can often involve loading beds, a refrigerator, clothes stuffed in bags and all other special personal items onto rickshaws to get cycled to the next location. Hmmm, something about that doesn't sound ideal. Instead, we had a team of 6 guys come over to help "shift" our stuff. It's amazing how much they can carry. I was taller, and bigger, than each of them but they carried all sorts of stuff from 75 inch long book cases to beds on their backs. At one point we decided that the bookcase we had designed for our upstairs apartment wouldn't fit in the layout of the new place. Rest assured one of the men brought his saw - poof we now have two bookcases that fit.
Unfortunately Henry came down with a cold a day or so before the move. We made sure he was comfortable and was able to rest while observing the activity.
If you take a good look you'll notice that Shobita wa carrying a roll of paper towel, a can of soda water, a coffee cup, and a muffin pan. Without boxes, we got our fair share of exercise hauling random items from the 6th to 5th floor all day.
Henry has reached a whole new level of stubbornness when it comes to eating. He wants only what he can feed himself. Since he hasn't mastered the art of using a spoon, eating oatmeal and yogurt for breakfast was quite the event. The mango in the mix added a nice bit of color.
He's just starting to get the hang of drinking from a glass and thanks to his Aunt and Uncle he has a super fun one to practice with.
