We have not chatted in a while. Things this summer have been a bit nuts. I feel like the summer came and went and now we are already preparing for our journey back to the USA for good. Yes, that’s right. We are heading back to the USA and packing up in Germany. Due to that, I feel I need to finish my online journal journey of CD growing up in Germany.
Now as some time has passed from these events until now, I will most likely just post pictures with a little description. Plus, I have just been too exhausted and drained lately to do it…and there is a lot to do! I would rather spend my time hugging CD and playing with him. 🙂
We left off at the end of June, right after his 2 year birthday party. Wow. That was a lot of fun! Now we move on to other things. 🙂
26 June:
I had tried to get a play group started with kids who were a little older than CD as he was feeling like he was the “big kid on the block” and taking advantage of the younger friends he had. I kept telling him that he will have no friends if he keeps treating them like that. Of course he did not listen. We did manage to meet an older boy and have some meetups at the park, but it was tough with the summertime holiday (vacation) schedules. On one occasion, the boys were all about the trucks at the park. One worker was kind enough to let the boys sit and play in the truck.

We had some play time at O’s. The boys love looking out the window and seeing the cars go by on the street below. Thanks O for teaching CD to say “car”!
Look…a car!

We celebrated Aunt C’s birthday by unwrapping some fun toys ourselves!
Cookie Monster and Elmo!

And then came the “accident”. CD fell into the water pit and came up soaking wet. He then refused to wear any clothes so the compromise was this:
Walk of Shame 🙂

And he refused to sit in the stroller with the blanket on his legs. So our only thing to do was a walk of shame home. 🙂 People thought it was hilarious and CD did not care…so I did not care. 🙂 The joys and non-restrictions of being a kid. No adult would be fine walking home mid-day in their underwear. 🙂
So that brings us through June…now just July, August, September, October and part of November to go!
Off to bed to rest up for another post tomorrow…hopefully!
