Perth...and a first for Zac

That is Zac waking up from his first airplane trip...we took a red eye flight so thank God that he slept most of the way there...although bed time for him that day was 2am! He was pretty in awe of the air plane in general and was excited to see it up close, we have been prepping him for some time now and he was all prepared to be IN the plane and not in stuck in the airport LOOKING at planes. He had a more enjoyable time on the trip back as he was awake and aware of his surroundings...brought a bag full of toys to keep him occupied. As the plane back was mosty empty he had his own seat too...
Overall the trip was pretty good...we wanted this trip to be the "last-one-before-baby-comes" and spend some time with Zac exploring a new territory together. And we truely thank God for opportunity cos it was really a blessed time with him...learnt so much more about our little boy and realising how much he has grown and the knowledge he has accumulated in his head...both good and bad!
Perth was really serene and peaceful and very child-friendly...many open spaces and beautiful parks which Zac absolutely loved. Brought him to a few tourisy places and introduced him to a few native animals also exposed him to various new experiences. It was particularly interesting to see how he reacted to new situations and especially being in a new country. After a few days he seem to welcome the new experiences with open arms maybe except the "sun-in-eyes" situations! He hated it when the sun shone into his eyes when we were in car, neither did he like to wear his sun glasses. So he whined and whined all the way till we reached our destinations! Not pleasant for all...
It was all good....and again we are grateful for the time and money spent! Now...we have a task at hand...to prep Zac on the impending arrival of his baby sister...
