Update on Boo in Florida

Belle and I are tired and tired of transitions, but overall doing well. We have been in Florida for a week today, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday we went to Disney. Wow! I totally don’t remember how exhausting and busy that place is. But Belle loved it. She got to hug her Pooh and Tigger and Eeyore. And we went to It’s a small world, and did Peter Pan’s Flight. We went to the animal kingdom, which is actually quite mellow in comparison to the rest. But she fell asleep in mama’s arms on the train ride back from the affection station (petting zoo). So we left at midday.

Her relationship with her Opa and Oma is amazing. She is so empathetic and loving with everyone, and so happy and playful most of the time. Yesterday for the 3rd time in this week, she disappeared for abit. I said, she has gone to make a poo. And sure enough she came back with a naked butt, saying Oma come… She had started to poo in her pullup, but went to the toilet by herself, got her seat out and her stool and took her diaper off climbed up to finish her poo in the potty. Then wanted us to come see it.

Last night, we went to the pool, and she didn’t want her puffy arms on, so we went in without them. And she is trying so hard to swim really swim… amazing. I hope that they let her in the pools on the boat, as I have just read that no diapers or swim diapered children allowed in any pool. I am sure I can figure something out, I have already checked, and our first stop in the Azores, has a salt water pool by the marina, so we will go there right away (even if she can swim on board).

Just thought I would give a litte update. Sorry it seems so braggy, isnt my intention, but I am proud of my little Boo.

Moving

In 6 very short days, Belle and I will embark on another adventure. Moving back to Enkhuizen after 7 wonderful months here in the US of A. Bittersweet to say the least. We will miss our David and our wonderful times at Elmos and the Farmers market. We will miss Sara and the Omas and Opa. Mama will miss her wonderful colleagues in NC and that beautiful environment at Keystone that I treasured. Belle will miss The Enrichment Center, wow what a wonderful preschool.daycare.nurturing environment.

But we get to take a cruise back. and we get to bring Tammi with us! and have 14 nights of wonderment on the way home. we will get to be with Ageeth and Jaap and the boys again. We will get to experience a new school with an old new language. Mama will reconnect with the simplicity of life in a small town. perhaps Mama will reconnect with Jacq and the girls. and maybe with my newfound peace, will meet some more potential friends.

we have the summer to enjoy and transition, and then Stephanie should be joining us and Tammi going back home. I hope that goes well.

I am sad and hopeful.
