Belgium

This past week/end we went to Belgium. Kaio behaved really well in the Eurostar, he slept, ate, smilled at everyone and loved the changing facilities. Oma was waiting in Brussels for us. When we arrived at Aunt Karolien's house Lucas and Ana Julia were eagerly waiting for 'baby Kaio'. Lucas is 4 and is a sweet boy, Ana Julia is 2 and knows what she wants but was also very sweet with 'pipi Kaio'. The both loved playing with him, holding him, seeing him eat and they also took a bath together (when I was bathing Kaio, Ana Julie saw it and started taking of her cloths, when Lucas saw Ana Julia in bath with Kaio he did the same - it was ADORABLE!. Kaio also adored Nonkel Peter (Karolien's husband), he loves children and even took care of Kaio while we went shopping (this is when Ana Julia got really jealous and started screaming, which then scared Kaio whom started crying and it ended up in us rushing home to find Kaio sound asleep and Ana Julia happy to have her daddy all to herself again). Jason played with both toddlers and had a lot of fun (eventhough they don't speak the same language, they got along really well) he can't wait for Kaio to grow older and also play with paper airplanes, make paintings, talk, etc.
We also saw Omi, Nonkel Richard, Jan, Fanny and Moeke. Moeke kept saying what a beautiful and well behaved baby Kaio was. She had a hard time understanding that Kaio was my baby (she remembers me as a teenager and found it hard to understand I had a baby!)
Everyone admires how well behaved and easy going our little one was and also how smiley, social and beautiful he is! (I have to agree with everyone on this one!)
On saturday Oma took care of Kaio and Jason and I went out with some friends, it was very nice. On sunday we had lunch at Lesley and Toon's house. Their daughter, Noor, loved Kaio and was also very sweet to him - she took care of him while he slept, made him a painting, hugged him, took him on her lap and 'played' with him.
It was a fun weekend and hope to go back this summer.
