On the positive side, after a trip to another country with Klara, I no longer see every outing with her to the library, the supermarket or the coffee-shop as a complex and heroic endeavor. Everything now seems extremely easy compared to delayed and canceled flights, hotels, motels, luggage, unfamiliar surroundings, scary Montreal drivers, and weird Canadian diapers. (Seriously, Canadians, are you aware that your diapers suck?)
On the negative side, Klara is now very bored at home. Try as I might, I cannot provide the same number of new impressions, fun things to see, people to meet, views to explore. I understand how she feels because even N and I suffer from sensory deprivation here. Imagine how a rapidly developing brain must feel.
