It took us about 24 hours door to door, but we arrived home to our cozy Lakefield house on Friday! The journey wasn't the smoothest one ever (with Juliet scream-crying for most of the first flight, Nory projectile vomiting during our Toronto descent, and Juliet vomiting on the car ride home), alas, WE SURVIVED and we've been on a fairly good sleep schedule ever since! (KNOCK ON WOOD, and anything else that doesn't make me eat my words.)
Some interesting facts about Juliet's transition to Canada:
1) She was NOT HAVING anything to do with grass on day one. Since then, we've graduated from being carried around in the grass, to walking in the grass with hand-holding and shoe-wearing, to walking in the grass with sock-wearing. GO JULIET!
2) She is obsessed with flowers. "FLOWER!!!!" is her new word and this morning I parked her in front of the flower section at the grocery store so that Daddy and Nory could take care of check-out. Juliet was IN HEAVEN and often requests to be flower-hunting throughout the day.
3) She loves "SIDE!!!!!!" Or "outside" as the rest of us call it :) All the new colours and sounds intrigue her and - regardless of the lower temperatures - she wants to be in the backyard. It's so cute.
4) She stops every once in a while and says "kitty cat gone". She definitely misses her kitties, Ben and Winka!!!
Some interesting facts about Nory's transition to Canada:
1) "It's COLD HERE, Mama!" - a short-lived idea from our little furnace. The girl was walking around in a tank top while the rest of us were bundled yesterday afternoon.
2) Every so often, she asks to go back to her house. So she can see Ben and Winka and Kari and Seton and Elsie. And her toys. And why didn't we bring her Orbeez to this place?
3) Her "cozy one" is still very much in our outfit rotation.....
4) She loves her Grampy. Can we walk to his house today, Mama? Is he coming back to play today, Mama? Where's Grampy, Mama? I want Grampy to come back to the park again, Mama..... (We are anxiously awaiting a coffee date with him this afternoon!)
Our first overnight visitors are coming on Thursday and we are SO, SO excited to see them!!!!!! In the meantime, we will be in the garden, at the park, or on the trampoline!!! We might even witness Juliet playing in the grass with bare hands and feet! ;)
Canada is SUPER! FREEZING, but SUPER!
