This Time Next Week

I will be back in my home away from home, Boston, Mass., as of this Friday. Actually, until my parents set me up with an apartment there for whenever I get the urge to explore my American side, I will be staying at my Grandma Sheila's house in Hingham, which I understand is not too far from the beach, so there should be plenty of water there, too. I have also been told that the water temperatures there are only about 13 Centigrades in mid-summer and, since this is something I can't even fathom given my limited scope, I will have to at least test it with my toes to see what that's all about. I plan on adhering to non-bathtub protocol, however, and making my father get all the way in the water before I even get anywhere near it. I will also be indulging in a new diet, seeing new types of trees, going to new cafes and baby shops, etc., so there should be a lot of head-spinning in store for me. If other babies talk to me in English, it will probably also freak me out a bit at first. As I mentioned in another post, I know a bunch of words like shoes, watch, nose, ears, in English, but they will probably not want to talk about those things. What I am looking most forward to, though, is following my cousin Melaina around now that I can run pretty fast, although careen would perhaps be more accurate verbiage. Anyway, I am looking forward to adding a few more people who aren't my parents to my list of favorites so that I have more names to warble when I wake up in the morning or wander around my apartment aimlessly. I don't know too much about an eight-hour flight across the ocean and I don't even get my own seat, so other people will probably have less fun than they might have otherwise, but we'll see how it all goes. Lots of food, beverages and books to distract me will be in order, but I am going to keep my eyes on that Daddy of mine to make sure he doesn't slip a roofie into my juice. I'll try to write soon once I get there!
