Just added some photos from last weekend in London. Our hotel near Sussex Gardens, one of Trafalgar Square's big lions, Baby playing with trains at Hamley's on Regent and our very own Paddington Bear!! Check out the blue sky! Like I wrote before, we have never seen London fog!

We went to our weekly BCT get together today but Baby spent most of the time crying. A bad night's sleep (teething?) lead to quite a bit of grumpiness and if another child took his toy or hit him accidentally in the head with a shoe, lots of tears followed. Baby did enjoy the tram ride to and fro but all in all, it was the kind of day where it would have been better for everyone to stay in bed and order room service!

Just got in from a fabulous long weekend in London! We really had fun and they forecasted rain for the whole weekend but guess what, it rained only a tiny bit today, not even half an hour! Highlights? So many! We enjoyed shopping on Oxford Street, playing with Thomas Tank at Hamley's on Regent, chasing pigeons at Trafalgar Square, following Princess Di's Memorial pathway past Buckingham Palace, eating Indian, Pret a Manger and Marks&Sparks, sipping on a pint or two, watching a bit of BBC, zooming around in a little black cab and on a double decker bus, on the tube and finally just being together, the three of us! And that was just day one! No, just kidding. We stayed at a nice little hotel called Lancaster Court at Sussex Gardens near Paddington Station. Baby was a peach as usual and took in all the sites with great interest. We met another little guy, also 18 months old, and it turns out, having the exact same birthday and wearing the exact same Gap winter coat! We also saw lots of horses since we stayed near Hyde Park and Baby liked making horse sounds and putting his finger in the air and pretending to be on a horse. We saw the changing of the horse guards by chance and Baby was enthralled. Didn't hook up with auntie as # was out of service but did hook up with another aunt which was great. Lots of fun! Will add pictures later!

Daddy came home at lunch time with Chinese food and tickets to London! Surprise! We are leaving tomorrow and will stay til Sunday. What fun and can't wait to show Baby all the sites. Maybe our aunt is in London right now? That would be an added bonus but perhaps she is still in Asia. Stay tuned for pictures of Baby in front of Big Ben!

Last night we took Baby out for a walk after we went to a Japanese restaurant near Ave.de Louise. We showed Baby the moon and he was in awe. He could not take his eyes off of it and kept saying, "moon". Clouds were moving fast and from time to time the moon was covered but Baby kept waiting for it to reappear. Seeing the wonderment in Baby's eyes was amazing.

This is our home in Brussels, Belgium. (the first two floors, plus garage/driveway)
