If I am having a boy, he shall be named Javier.

D is off to HK for a week. I am keeping the panic at bay with a strong cup of coffee. I thought of having some breakfast but all we have is cereal at home. D's cereal, and they all contain chocolate chips. I suppose I shall have to venture out and get a bagel. I have no idea how I am going to entertain Sash for the next few days. D is a much better playmate. I think I shall top up my coffee.

This afternoon, other than looking for cereal without chocolate chips, I am heading out to get some documents notarized. Last Friday we finally received some feedback on Sash's citizenship application, which we sent in last October. It seems we sent in the wrong forms. Instead of applying for citizenship, what we were supposed to do is apply for the citizenship certificate. This is what I find confusing. She is currently a US citizen, so would the first step not be to apply for the citizenship before the document to prove citizenship? Apparently not, as she is technically already a citizen. If you think this is confusing, you should check out the PR application process. So the new application requires that we send in her original documents. Not bloody likely. God knows how long her passport will be held in limbo. An alternative is to get copies notarized. So the notarization fee will cost 4 times the application fee. Sigh...

Luckily PJ (Potentially Javier) will not have to go through this. Well, unless we move back Stateside.
