Today we decided to get Sebastian his Canadian Passport so that we can get his Norwegian Passport and Citizenship next month. We were told to dress him in dark clothing as they have to lay him on a white board on the floor in order to get his shot. I was told that the Passport authorities are very picky about infants photos so Blacks told us if we were turned away they would do it again at no charge until they got it right.
Needless to say we tripped off to the mall on our first outing (other the his first doctors appointment) and we got his passport photos taken. After 349 shots were taken they managed to get one with his eyes open, looking straight ahead without our hands in the photo (from holding him straight). I was determined to get his passport done that day. So after filling out the application and dropping of "the boys" at home, I started the 20 minute journey to Whitby (a nearby town with a passport office). What I should have realized was that traveling away from Toronto (east) on a Friday of a long weekend was insane. Needless to say I made it to the office in about an hour and a half and had his passport application submitted within 15 minutes. Why so quick you ask? Nobody wants to be sitting in the passport office on a Friday of a long weekend. All in all it did not work out too badly and we should have our treasured documents in our hot little hands within two weeks. Yeah!
We are looking at traveling to Norway for Christmas so he can meet his Norwegian family.
