Pack, pack and pack

It is the most dreadful time of any journey..packing especially with baby. We came with 3 check-in baggage, and we are leaving with 5 check-in baggage!! The addition are Lucas's car seat, and a bag with our shopping accumulated during our stay here. I am still wondering how did we accumulate so much during 4 months stay here. We hardly bought anything for ourselves except Lucas. Yes, blame it all on Lucas...haha
I am almost done with 2 baggage. Aim to finish another 2 tomorrow. And 1 on the last day. The saddest thing about this packing is we have to throw away so many things, despite giving away Lucas's outgrown clothes. All the unfinished food in the kitchen will have to go to the dustbin - olive oil, garlic, onions, bread etc...They are people without enough food and here we are throwing away food. We should have plan this better.

Lucas bids farewell to his playgroup

Today is a happy and sad day. It is Lucas's last time at his playgroup. The mommies throw Lucas a going away party and it is also Morgan's first birthday on Tuesday. We had food, cakes, balloons and lots of fun.

Dominic and I have been discussing this for sometime now. When we get back, we need to find activities and friends for Lucas. Every morning, we took Lucas for a walk to the apartment lobby to collect our newspaper. On the way, the apartment maintenance workers will greet him, he will point to the pool, fountain, flowers, and smile to the apartment manager's dog. In KL, newspaper is delivered to our doorstep.

No more playgroup, and no more kiddie swing. One of the first thing we need to do is find a park with kiddie swing! Then see if we can start a playgroup or get invited to one by friends.

No more beach and sand on weekend. Nice beaches in KL are a few hours drive and cannot be done on a day trip.

No more leisure walk. KL is always hot and humid. It is very unpleasant to put him on the stroller for a leisure walk.

It is really amazing during our short stay here, we get to meet so many nice people. We should thank Lucas for bringing friends to us. Good job Lucas.

Hmm..now we really have to think hard what to do with his time.
