Lazy Sunday in Serbia

A quiet day today with Milos--



We did not get the big snow event that was predicted for Saturday and Sat night, but we DID get the COLD--- wind chills in the low teens today-- BTW-- How great is it that we have 2 bedrooms, a full dining room, living room and big bath with a tub. We probably could have saved 5 or 6 euros a night in a smaller place but I can't imagine how crazy we would be right now! YAY!-- thanks Vlado!

Milos got Mary up EARLY again-- Thanks for taking early duty--

I got up about 8:15 and we played "round the table" for a while-- I had to run to buy food and change a bit of money- Hamburger went down well last time but not so easy to find it on Sunday-- I finally found a nice German speaking butcher and we chatted auf Deutsch while he chopped up a chicken for us and ground some fresh beef for Milos.

Stopped at the local (read communist looking) bread store but they were out of bread-- so to the Pan European bakery for a half a loaf or Italian bread--- YUMMY!

About 30 minutes later, back to the apartment where Mary was trying to get Milos to take a nap---NOT HAPPENIN!

I let Mary sleep and Milos and I played the "round the table game" and watched Kim Possible and a couple other Disney things. he was very well behaved-- a little gentleman!

About 90 minutes later Milos had his (I think) second poopie diaper of the day so I had to wake Mary for the dirty deed-- Long story as to why I do not do poopie-- remind me to share with you one day!

Lunch time-- and cooking for Milos meals for the next couple of days--

More table chasing, TV, clothes pin dumping, poopie diapers, pudding snacks, and another nap attempt and WOW it's already dinner time--

Milos was not very hungry (I think he has a bit of a belly ache) He ate some of his mashed potatoes with ground beef (did not like the beef chunks this time). Mary and I had yummy baked chicken, bread and noodles.

More tv and mama and papa play and about 45 minutes later some fruit with melatonoin-- ANOTHER poopie diaper and bedtime!

We are in full wind down mode-- figuring out how much food we still need for him and us, starting to pack the big suitcase-- in general planning our escape!

Our appointment at the US Embassy is 2pm tomorrow. The weather is supposed to get pretty nice (sunny and 35) -- we may take the stroller and explore a bit. I need to copy some documents and try to get a few photos around town with Milos.

We still need more diapers, wipes and baby food for the plane ride--

So here is the scoop:

6pm Milos bedtime

Tues

12:40 flight for Paris
