Saturday, oh Saturday

Cleaned the condo this morning, not dressed, have lots of time to spare. I read to Markus, played some number puzzles with him, while Tom is in the bedroom, door closed working on the computer for work. Markus is now on the phone with Grandpa, my dad, so I have time to write. I figure, I will bath Markus and myself at around 5pm, eat and by 7pm Tom's parents will be here to drive us to the airport. We are all packed. I am worried we are taking too much with the car seat and stroller. For dinner, we will finish some left over pasta I made yesterday. I am getting excited and nervous for take off. Especially since the plane may bother Markus's ears as we are taking off. I bought some jube jubes, the toddler kind for him to suck on as we are taking off.

I have tried to explain to Markus that we are going on an airplane, I used his toy plane to show him. He just wanted me to give him the toy plane. I don't think he understands yet. He said the word "juice" today. I was so proud. He is saying more and more now. It won't be long now said the monkey who cut his tail. I heard that expression when i was in Ireland, so I imagine it being said with an Irish accent. I thought it was hilarious the first time I heard it, I use it to this day as my own.

Anyway, I will keep you posted on how my mom and her boyfriend are, Germany, where we will go and what Markus's reaction is to the plane, seeing his Oma for the second time and Christian for the first time. Hopefully, everything goes well. Bon voyage! or Viele Gute Reise!!!!!
