Good-bye Canada and Hei! Suomi!
Firstly I apologize if there are a million typos in this - it's not due to jet lag or me being awake after a quick nap (1:13am)...I thought I'd cheat the airline security systems by putting my laptop into my checked-luggage wrapped in clothing. This way I didn't have to haul it out at every freaking airport we stopped at...because we ended up leaving our stroller at my mother in-laws.
Why?! Thanks to American Airlines (major middle finger here) the snack/2-cup/cell phone holder tray piece is completely snapped off and missing. There's a major tear in the hood/roof of the stroller and it does not open or close fully/properly anymore.
I NEED that tray piece....as any busy parent knows -that piece of plastic is a life saver. It saves me from having to stop repeatedly every two minutes to give my son snacks from the basket of his stroller in the bottom..it holds my phone/clock....it holds drinks...loose change...bus fare...the works!
My husband does not understand the importance of that piece of plastic because I'm with the baby 95% of the time - especially while he's at work.
Anyway - the last few days of our Canadian adventure were spent in Pictou County where my in-laws live. We did not see my father in-law as was previously suggested due to some health concerns and whatnot - so hopefully they recognize and realize that we are not able to simply pack up a baby and travel back and forth between two cities. V�in� did great overall with the travelling to the small city/town of Westville and it was handy for him to be somewhere small and not bouncing left/right/center every hour to see people like we were in the HRM.
Nor did we go on the hay ride :(. It was raining and the baby and I were having a seriously needed nap. Maybe next time!
It's funny being back and hearing so much Finnish after not hearing it for over a week. It's truly interesting on how I finally got used to hearing English everywhere (and reading it too) - to barely hearing it on the train or at he airport.
Well I apparently took 366 photos/videos during our stay....time for bed.
