The big move

I haven't been blogging because we've moved house, AGAIN. It has become a yearly affair for us. This time is quite different than the others though because we have a baby, and that really changes everything.

Moving with a baby is no simple feat really. I think it's toughest on Mountain Boy because he doesn't quite understand the concept of moving house yet. So he must have thought that we were at a "friend's house" and got really cranky when we didn't take him home.

The first 2 days were rather sleepless. He kept feeling insecure in his new room despite us not changing the sheets and sleeping bag to maintain the so called "familiar scents". He was so tired and kept falling asleep during mealtimes. Its funny but also quite heartbreaking to watch.

Mountain Boy fell asleep during lunch.

Familiarizing with the new "terrain" was also a challenge. He used to rush to the bathroom when he hears water sounds (signaling bath time), but he couldn't find the bathroom the first few days and got frustrated getting lost.

Today is our 5th day in the new pad and i think we've finally settled in properly. A new routine, a different place for marketing, shortcuts to beat the traffic and getting to know new neighbours, which unfortunately isn't working out as well as i imagined. I've met a grand total of 2 people and 1 of them is 3 yrs old so i'm not sure if that counts.

But i'm confident that this new place will create new and wonderful experiences for us three.
