Mummy can row!

Mummy can row! She was so good at it that she could make the boat go where she wanted it to go. Daddy didn't even try. In fact he and I stayed on dry-land. Only brother and mummy went to sea. Noel is away at mormor and morfar's for a few days and I am at home with mummy and daddy. It is very quiet and a bit boring without Noel. The sun shines and makes every one rather lethargic. There is a nice breeze that blows and keeps my pram cool when I take my morning and afternoon naps. I think daddy should think about cutting the lawn soon before it turn totally white with clover flowers.

Boating

Like the good Swede I am I was out boating this weekend in the lovely weather. I learnt that when in danger to blow the whistle attached to my life-jacket. I found it so much fun to blow that I kept doing it even when told not to. Greta didn't come boating with me, but stayed on dry land and slept. She does that lots. She had slept all morning again today. She wakes everyone up early and then goes back to sleep...

I like music

I am thinking of turning to music. I hear that you can make lots of money and travel lots if you are good at it. The other week I was the only person to stand and watch a band. I thought they were fascinating. The weather has been hot today and I had lots of fun outside. Of course, I slipped, slapped, slopped. Greta did as well. She slept lots as well. I wonder when the strawberry flowers will turn into red strawberries. I look every day, but nothing seems to be happening. The rhubarb has gone mad and the chillies are producing lots of fruit, but where, oh where are the strawberries?

Strawberries are forever!

This is the lovely strawberry cake that my brother made for midsummer. Mummy also managed to keep his hands off it until it was tea-time, but as you can see she failed. The weather has been really good the past few days and I have had a good time at home in the garden using my baby swing. Mummy and daddy have been sorting the hedge and they dig plants up and then plant them somewhere else. A very odd behaviour me thinks!

Numberjacks

We had a dressing up day at dagis and I decided not to be fluffy pink princess, but to be creative and inspired of Numberjacks. After cutting up one of daddy's ties and colouring in lots of numberjacks mummy attached them to the remains of daddy's tie and one of her hats. I became a numberjack boy for the day! I was the only one at dagis among the pink princesses and pirates. Soon I will be a sought after designer.

Summer colours

Summer is full of bright fun colours. I like this, even when daddy wears his bright orange shirt. The colours go so well the summery carry slings that mummy is carrying me around in at the moment. Yesterday Noel got to ride on daddy's back in a boring brown thing. He was very happy and enjoyed the evening walk on daddy's back before he got to eat some strawberry cake that I was only able to look at and think next year....

midsummer children

Today was midsummer and the weather was not wet! It was super warm and we got up early to pick flowers and make midsummer crowns. Greta and I had the prettiest ones. We went to Gammlia and did some dancing, looked at the animals, had tea with Huahui and saw a boat. I liked the boat lots and mummy has promised we can go back and look at it again. She talked about next time it rains we can go there. I hope it rains soon. We also made a lovely strawberry cake that was so big we will have to eat more tomorrow. Yummy!

Sometimes things are so interesting

So much has happened today. Mormor and morfar were here. I forgot to take lots of pictures. Morfar and daddy took away lots of things to the re-cycling centre. I went with them, but it was a bit cold so I stayed in the car. Daddy chopped down lots of bushes this week and he keeps saying they will grow quickly. I don't get it. Chop something down and to make them grow! The other week I got to look at some exciting machines that were working hard outside. Now that I am big I can climb up on the wall and watch. Awesome!

Watching Noel sing!

The other week they had a BBQ at Noel's dagis and after we have eaten his class sang lots of songs for us. Noel didn't seem to be very interested in the singing and kept his mouth closed almost all the time. After the singing I had to watch everyone eat chocolate cake and drink coffee! It is so unfair. This morning I had a wonderful breakfast. I got to eat some thin bread things. Noel ate some too so I felt very grown up. Today I have to help daddy vote. He still has understood Swedish politics or how you put the party list in an envolope! He wants to make a cross in a box!

Building in the garden

I like helping out in the garden and I like building so what could be more fun that building planting boxes for the garden. A little song and a little banging the box was soon put together. The other week morfar brought some even bigger boxes to our garden that daddy and morfar filled with compost. Soon we plant our courgettes and pumpkins in the boxes. Daddy has just lit the fire as it is so cold and damp tonight. I like watching the fire burn. Perhaps there is a Biedermann streak in me!
