Sorry for the delay in the post! Krakow was beautiful, very storybook'ish. We stayed in the Jewish Quarter which was very charming and an excellent location. We were just a 15 minute walk from the Old Town Market Square, which was enormous and filled with cafes, shops, and... pigeons. This thrilled Hayden to no end!! I think he could chase pigeons all day long... We also took a ride in a horse-drawn carriage, which both kids thoroughly enjoyed. Until it was over and Hayden decided that the horse was "MINE".

It is funny to me how quickly Hayden has slipped into big brother mode... everything is "MINE", and every 5th or 6th phrase out of my mouth is "Hayden, please don't hit your sister". etc... Mostly he really likes her and asks for Paulina when he wakes up in the morning and is very sweet to her all day... but sometimes sweet turns into a smack in a millisecond :-)

We picked up a walker / push toy for Paulina on Sunday and she uses it well... until she realizes she's doing it by herself... she also is taking 4-5 steps by herself, so she's doing super well on the walking. I was able to get her to eat some chopped up, super soft green beans and a mashed banana in addition to the jar food yesterday which was good. Still absolutely no interest in putting anything into her mouth on her own, but that will come.

We're going to find Old Town Warsaw today and then the park with our friends from Florida after nap. Only 1 week until Papaw and Hayden leave, which makes me very sad. It will be hard to say bye to Dad, but boy, I am struggling with putting Hayden on a plane without me. I know in my head everything will be ok, but I am going to miss him terribly :-( It is best, he is homesick and needs to get back to his routine, and his daddy and Mamaw and Cousin "Enny" (Emily), etc... we've had to tiptoe around those words to avoid a monumental meltdown here.

Hope all is well at home... only 2.5 weeks to go :-)
