Spring is here.. finally!

Everyone tells me I came to Germany during a rather rough season. Worse, winter has never been this bad in Germany in the last 20 years!. Just my luck!. So finally a nice change in weather is a welcome relief for me and my son. After being mostly home-bound in the first 2 months that we were here, (except for the trip to Netherlands), with spring, our routines changed yet again.

Nero started his play school in the beginning of April. All my plans of working during his school hours were dashed when Nero showed no signs of accepting school even after a whole month!. Added to that were repeated episodes of sickness, meaning more sleepless nights for me!.

On the bright side, I could finally do away with my bulky sweater while indoors and I could finally, travel outside without  my trademark super heavy, super bloated wine colored jacket.

Nero's second birthday came and went. We had planned a nice trip to the Stuttgart zoo that day. Unfortunately, weather played spoilsport. It rained cats and dogs that day.

The nice thing about spring is that the days are longer. More sunshine hours means more play outdoors. Suddenly more people became visible outside our window. More kids were playing around. The little park near our house was a hub of activity.

We made a mid week visit to the Spring feast in Stuttgart. This was my little one's first amusement park experience. He spent the evening exploring all the lovely rides in store. It was a fun family day.


I believe in..
