Brazil...

We arrived in Brazil a week ago. The trip went really well and both kids behaved well during the flight. It was great to see the family and enjoy some relax time.

It has been VERY hot and the kids are starting to cope better after a rough couple of first days. Josefine had never felt something like that and was really upset with the excessive heat (it has been around 38C). Kaio was so happy to be with Oma and everyone else, he also loves all the space and different activities here.

Kaio has also taken some big steps in the last two days. Yesterday we started the potty training and we have had some great results. Several pipi's and this morning a poopy on the potty. He seems to really get it and is now in underwear during the day. The second big step was moving from a crib to a children bed. So far, he has accepted it well and has been sleeping well in it.

Josefine is also enjoying being here. She spends the days only in her nappy since it is so hot. It is adorable to see her little legs and arms uncovered (which had been constantly covered with the cold weather in London).

It has been great to have all the help of my family and we are enjoying this first stage of our sabbatical!
