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)...
