We’ll they haven’t done anything yet, but I suspect it is just a matter of time. I am sure that Kai and Atle will become famous Prenzlauerberg fixtures.

Dining al Fresco @ Herr Rossi
We decided to invest in some new technology to help us get out more often. It’s a baby monitor which you can view from your mobile phone. It doesn’t mean that we have complete freedom, but as far as dining across the street it can do the job. However, first time out we encountered a number of hiccups unfortunately. But at least we had some good food a time to relax.
Happy Mothers Day
We had a very enjoyable day. Kai’s present was sleeping until 7am. We casually prepared and left for the zoo around 9, leaving a bit of extra time to pick up some fresh juice, coffee, and pastries our local shop. A few hours at the zoo, and we moved on to a magnificent brunch at a Movenpick restaurant. It was in fact too good — the food was excellent quality and variety, so much so that one could not help but eating much more than one should. But all for a celebration of a great cause — the mothers.
Tierpark!
May 1st is labor day here in Germany so we had the day off. In fact, we started the afternoon before a party in the afternoon (it was for a one-year old, so no major hangover). Today we were invited to adventure to Berlin’s other zoo (yes, our city is so cool that it has 2 zoos), and even though we are members to the other zoo we decided to give it a go. While the animals were not as varied or pristine, the Tierpark was a nice hybrid park/zoo complete with playgrounds, bandstands, and more. It was a perfect day with good food and fun for all.

Surprise 21×2 Birthday Soiree
Wow! What an amazing day. It began by a late sleep of the whole family in bed until around 10am. A chocolate croissant and latte and I was all set for a nice 60 minute massage session. Afterwards, I was treated to a luxurious lunch at a fantastic Italian restaurant Bocca di Bacco downtown. Chika said we had one more stop to pick up some last minute supplies on the way home at her favorite Japanese cafe. I only was expecting to see a nice cake waiting for us, but to my surprise the cafe was full of friends, amazing food, and drinks. The ambiance was incredible — intimate, fun, lively. And the party continued on into the night, at least for one more bar as well. A very memorable night for a birthday which I had written off as not so special, but now I got to live my 21st birthday a second time around thanks to my lovely Chika.
Home Alone 4 — Papa’s 36 hours in Charge
Chika and her mom went to the Xmas market in Nuremberg overnight, so I had my first solo run taking care of Kai (in full disclosure I did have some baby sitter help during the day). Kai was great, and with the exception of waking up around 3 and rolling around the next 3 hours it was a great time.
Anniversary #3
It’s taken us a while, but we finally escaped the powerful gravitational force of Kai (he’s hard to leave behind). A magnificent bright crisp Sunday and an afternoon of being pampered at the Mandala Hotel day spa was the ticket.
