While in the process of getting Teo’s passport organized, I ran across Kai’s passport photo.  Interesting comparison.

New Zoo Adventure

Kai didn’t take a nap again Sunday (a scary trend), so instead of just heading to the playground we jumped on the bike and cruised across town to the zoo. In the past, I wouldn’t go solo to the zoo with Kai. Too far to travel without a stroller, and too difficult control both an energized Kai and a stroller at the same time. But in principle, the bike could work. And it did (although Kai did decide opening my backpack on the way home and threw out my German coursebook twice — unfortunately, I only caught him the first time.) The thanks you get as a parent, even after a chocolate ice cream cone.

Kai’s 1st Solo Bike

Another perfect day in Berlin, so took the initiative and headed out to the old Templehof Airport (now a park) so Kai could try out his wheels.  It was good for a first day, but this seems like something that is repetition driven so will spend some practice time closer to home (it didn’t help that our bag got stolen while we were out cruising).




 

The First Night Out

A safe journey and then we had the full house — all the grandparents and Wolfson-Yamamoto grandchildren together. We all enjoyed a great dinner together at our favourite haunt Herr Rossi. While they say with new children 1 + 1 does not equal 2, we managed to pull this one off just fine.

The First Dinner

Kai Too

While Teo is big news, his older brother is dazzling all of us as well. We’ve been hitting the streets a lot to give mom some space, and it’s been a lot of fun hanging out in Berlin, trying new dining options, and exploring new parks. Even at home, we are settling back down into routine of bath, books, and bed. Yesterday Kai was so exhausted he was asleep before 10pm for the first time in a week. Hopefully the trend continues!
