Leaving on a jet plane.....

.....tomorrow! Peanut alone has three check-in bags, one cabin bag and one diaper bag. A and I have managed to cram our stuff in one check-in each. Are we prepared for the long journey with this bundle of terror? I am not sure. A knows he can no longer lounge in his seat, flicking channels or read a book or take his own time for a nice long meal. And I know that I can no longer snuggle into A's nook, cozy up and read a Wodehouse book. We will instead be doing what parents of a five month old would do. Listening to Peanut play Baby Einstein Piano, reading Little Spot books to her, singing itsy bitsy spider and rocking her to sleep.
Things Peanut will miss - talking to the monkey, froggy and turtle hanging from the crib mobile. The gold fish hanging from the swing that calms her every night like no one else can ( oh fishy, what are we going to do without you?) and her new activity center that she loves pottering around with these days. Rest of her things are going with her.
As for me, I'll miss the Black Friday sale, holiday lightings, hearing "Santa baby", the festivity in the air, dining at Cheesecake Factory this time of the year and partying on New Year's Eve. I'll miss that where ever I am. More updates from the other side of the globe! Happy holidays!
