Sebastian received his first passport in the mail today, officially making him a British citizen. Just in time for our trip to England in three weeks! His American passport should come soon thereafter, allowing for smooth sailing through US Customs when we travel to New York at the end of August.
Sebastian celebrated by rolling over for the first time! He had been threatening to do so all week. We congratulated him by graduating him from the pram to the pushchair. We didn’t have much choice since he was actually getting too big to fit in the pram. He much prefers sitting up anyway.
In other news, Emily is aggressively lobbying to knock her midday nap on the head. This would be absolutely fine if it wasn’t for the fact that she really needs a nap everyday. There have been no naps taken on four different days this week. And on each napless day, our sweet little angel transforms into an irrational raving typhoon somewhere around 7pm. Dinner isn’t as much fun when you’re too tired to hold a fork.
Emily also wants you to know that she jumped off the wall into the the public kiddie pool all by herself yesterday morning and ran into the sea and jumped over the waves all by herself yesterday afternoon. Theme for this month: all by herself.
How gorgeous!!!
So they get three passports? I thought US did not allow their beloved citizens to be anything but american!
They only get two passports. They were born here in Barcelona but they’re not Spanish (because neither of their parents are Spanish). And the US REQUESTS that you give up your US passport if you later obtain another, but they don’t enforce it. I still only have one, though. I’m thinking about getting a Spanish one!
