  They will not be staying with me all the time and plan to go to Croatia and Finland in July too, so we are talking about around 2 weeks and maybe 2 weeks again in August – or, if it is feasible, I’d cover him for the whole two months.  It would be a shame if they have to rent a car because my car is available and will have a child’s car seat too.
