Four months in Estonia

Time to reappear and update our blog - four months have passed since we moved to Estonia and it feels now almost like home. As somebody recently reminded me - once a new place starts feeling like home it is time to move on :) We have however no intention to move on since we feel very comfortable and cozy. Not to mention that Leon is going to have a sister still this month so it is time for a bit a stability. Another positive aspect of Estonia is that the global warming has nicely warmed up the summers so that you do not have to be afraid that it is going to rain everyday. Unfortunately nothing happened to the long dark days of winter. At least though the amount of snow during that time is incredible so perhaps it will be time to learn the cross country skiing...


Our Leon is nowadays a big boy attending a couple of days in a week the day care and having his strong opinion on all aspects of life. He is not to flexible to change it but it probably goes back to the fact that he is not sure which language to speak :) No wonder sincte he is basically exposed to four totally different languages (Hungarian, Polish, Estonian and English). Anybody want to guess which one he will start to speak first? We were a bit concerned about this but it is quite difficult to get serious advice from any specialist. The good thing is that sites like http://incultureparent.com are always very positive about the outcome of such mixes, if one sticks to a couple of simple rules. Anyway this is our Leonsito expressing his disappointment about lack of breakfast in the morning during our short midsummer trip to one of the small islands in Estonia (Manilaid)...

The change

I have not managed to post every month last year though I have been having it in the back of my mind. Perhaps it is because we have been in the middle of the process of planning yet another change in our lives and because our little emperor has not been exactly sleeping at nights...

Now since in a couple of days it is going to be Leon's birthday and we have just had a big celebration with the family in Warsaw perhaps it is time to share the news with all the might still be interested in our whereabouts...

There are two serious changes going to happen in our lives. First of all at the end of Summer Leon is going to have a sibling!!! Second of all we are moving out of Poland to Estonia in the coming weeks. Both of us are really looking forward to the new chapter of our lives. Though now it means a total chaos!!!
