Taking Sydney to Sydney!

Off we go tomorrow to head to Sydney Australia!!! We are all really excited and made the mistake of telling Sydney too early because she asks all the time "when are we going to the place called Sydney?" The other day I thought it would be a good learning opportunity to try and learn the days of the week and showed her on the calendar that it was 5 days til we left. She asked "How many naps is that?"( a nap constitutes daytime and nighttime, they are called the same in her book!) So it was 10 naps til we went and that seemed like a really long time for her. Anyway thought I would make one entry before we go for all those loyal readers out there. I am sure we will get numerous pictures of Sydney next to something that says Sydney. It will probably be easy to do. It should be interesting the looks we get from the locals when calling her name. There may even be a t-shirt we can buy for her and her friend Sydney that lives here in Yokosuka. Have a great week and all the Moon's have a great time at the Celebration at the farm and stay cool. Sorry we will miss it but I am sure someone will take pictures we can see sometime. Love Harry, Kathleen and Sydney
