My son, the party animal

Life in Belgium is going. I'm on 3 hours sleep a night, waking up to Mr. I'm Three Months Old
Now I can Party at 3 am. We've learned to put on Radiohead, threaten to play That James Blunt
Song and let him sleep until 7. Almost can't believe that he is almost 3 1/2 months old. Already, he is
responding to everything- music, his big brother and sister, his grandparents. He adores going and seeing
our friends here in Belgium especially Lucille and Bernard whose daughter Noemie will be my
future daughter in law by the looks of it. We narrowly escaped a serious incident when Mr. Gummy put
raisins up his nose (and Noemies). All small objects are banned from the floor and accessible baby-surfaces.

Conor and I are spending afternoons together just the two of us with Declan at elementary school and Carmen at the local
garderie. For the last week, we have been spending the time wiring ourselves in red tape and teaching each other bad phone habits. I have taken to curling up with Conor besides the television, mindlessly listening to Anpanman in Japanese and hearing the sounds of the dishes not cleaning themselves. There's a part of me that wants this pregnancy to be over, to see the twins and begin the baby thing all over.

Carmen's teacher tells us she especially likes the Spanish children, but that we have to work
on her verbal communication in French and Dutch. Dutch? Michael went to pick her up and explained that
we are not interested in Dutch right now. He explained four languages is more than enough for our family
and we don't want our daughters head to spontaneously implode. The teacher suggested a French playgroup
which we will start Tuesday morning.

We move house on the 1st June and are looking forward to our large family-sized apartment, all ours. Michael
and I have spent our evenings discussing various orgasmic topics such as paint colour, position of canopies
and what household items will be accidentally dropped by the movers.

This will be my last blog until we're settled into the new house sometime in mid June.

For now, chao.
