Its the last day of Ramadan today and I couldn't be more excited. Not just because tomorrow I will not have to fast, but also because tomorrow is Eid!
I have always loved Eid and celebrated it with much fervor and zeal, but this Eid is extra special, because it is Mr Baby's first Eid!
Coincidentally, this Eid falls on a hot day in Amsterdam, where the temperature is expected to raise up to 30 degrees! That is really hot for Netherlands. Trams and metros become extremely suffocating, buses however, are air-conditioned.
Considering this hot weather I went to buy some special summer clothes for Mr Baby. To my dismay, all the summer stock has finished, even the ones on sale. Maybe the Netherlanders were not expecting to have such a long summer this time, or maybe everyone just bought the summer stuff early on.
I already had a nice shirt for Mr Baby from Zara, which I originally thought he could wear with pants and shoes, but now I was looking for shorts and sandals. For sandals I went to Crocs, but the only shoes they had in Mr Baby's size were pink! Hush Puppies were too expensive, H&M only had brown. Finally I ventured into Zara and found nice looking sandals and affordable too, but they were either too small or too big. I bought the too big one. Mr Baby doesn't walk yet, so the shoes are just an accessory rather than a necessity. However, he does look like he has enormous feet in these sandals.
For shorts, I went through a similar dilemma. The only few places that were selling shorts were either not the right size or not the right color to go with Mr Baby's shirt. Finally, I walked into V&D but in their sale rack I found a pair of shorts which didn't look too bad with the shirt.
Atleast I had some clothes now, but I wasn't really satisfied. I showed them to S who liked them and that gave me a little contentment.
S and I are both very excited to give Mr Baby his Eid presents. I bought a ring stacking toy for him, and S got him a drum set. I can't wait for tomorrow to see my baby dressed in his clothes and playing his Eid presents!
Happy Eid everyone!
