It's been 2 weeks and 5 days since we moved here and we LOVE it. Yiek goes home 1.5 to 2 hours earlier than when he was in NJ so almost every afternoon we let Caleb bike around our complex's parking lot with other kids. Our complex also has a playground but I am too lazy to go there aside from the fact that it is mostly dominated by Anaps and they aren't the friendly kind, they mostly talk by themselves in a language foreign to me, Caleb only hangs out for a few minutes because the kids ignore him! Poor kid, he is at the stage where he wants to have a playmate BUT since he is young the kids here ignore him and treat him as a baby. I feel so bad for him but I can't play hide and seek with him all day and we have not seen a kid his age yet but he is making progress, the kids near our unit are warming up to him and have included him in their plays.
We love our apartment, it's smallish but good enough for the 4 of us. I LOVE that I have my own washer and dryer, I did have that in NJ but for me to dry the clothes I have to go down to the basement, not a fun thing to do when lifting a basket full of wet clothes. Now I can just load the washer and when it's done immediately transfer the said clothes to the dryer what a time saver! Can you tell I am excited by these feature? mwehehehe I also bought the washer/dryer unit at a second hand shop at such a bargain price so I am happy with that.
We are still exploring the place and it is indeed geared towards family, there are a lot of family activities to do with just a quick search in the internet. Last weekend we went to two, the state fair and Artplosure. There were a lot of nice arts for sale in the Artsplosure by individual budding and known artists that we promised to buy art decors for our soon to be house next year or the year after that.
I have enrolled Caleb for 4 sessions at Little Gym and he will soon start with summer camp this June 1. Summer camp will be thrice a week from 9-1 PM so he will have time to play with kids his age and I can bring my sanity back on days when he is in school.
The only thing I don't like is waking up early, oh boy the people here WAKE up mighty early, believe it or not Yiek arrives at his office 9:00 AM and he is always the last one to arrive. It's such a struggle to wake up early and sleep early for night owls like us. Oh well, we have to adjust because we have no choice when the kids will start school soon. School starts as early as 7:30 am que horror!
