Even with my attempts to get caught up, I'm now another week behind so I will give up on officially trying to catch up but will unofficially try to catch up. That likely makes not sense to you, but for some reason it does in my head.
We're three weeks into our adventure and I think it's now a safe time to compile my "I Knew I'd Forget Something List". I will categorize it by family member.
1. Paul - I actually don't think we forgot anything for Paul - lucky him.
2. Isabel - her backpack
3. Judsen - his diaper bag. I used a backpack on the plane for his and my things, but forgot his little diaper bag.
4. Diana - my shorts and bathing suit...yes, I packed for India without packing shorts or a bathing suit...now that is disappointing. It's not that I can't go buy shorts or a bathing suit (although, now that I think about it, I don't recall seeing either in my mall visits...hmmm, yeah no recollection). So far I've been fine without them and the swimming pool here is FREEZING, so it's a good excuse for Paul to take Isabel in the pool and for me to watch with Judsen from the deck. I say that as if we do that; truth is that Isabel still thinks the pool is closed from the New Year's Party; don't judge.
While on this topic, the only item we lost en route was Judsen's bottle. I packed one bottle for the trip here along with sufficient servings of formula. When we landed in London, we did that mad dash of trying to get off the plane along with the people who don't have children, in full and complete denial that we really fall into that category that is supposed to listen to the announcement that says, " for those requiring additional time leaving the plane, please wait until the aisles are clear and we'd be happy to assist you." No, not us! Two children don't slow us down; we scooped everyone and everything up and off we went. Once we had settled down for our layover, we realized I left his one and only bottle behind. Way to go, Diana. Thankfully, they have everything at the Heathrow airport and we found a good replacement. My sister, Michelle, would be mortified to know we didn't sterilize it for 5 minutes in boiling water before we used it, but we didn't. I did slosh some hot water around in it before I used it, or at least I think I remember doing that, or I at least thought to do it; either way, Judsen survived.
