Curious George in Town

This Sunday, one of Noah's favorite characters was visiting a shopping centre in Lidköping, a town about 16 km from Lundsbrunn. Mormor, Noah and I took the shopping list and drove over snowy landscapes to Lidköping to greet "Nicke Nyfiken" (the Swedish name for Curious George).

Nicke's first stop was a the shoe store where they also have a little play table for the kids. We came a bit early and Noah was happy to play and wait at the table. In fact, so happy that when Nicke finally came through the doors, whilst the other kids ran up to him, Noah leisurely sat put and continued to play - not at all interested in his furry friend.

Luckily, Nicke was staying for a while and after about 20 minutes, Noah finally warmed up to him. He walked up to the big monkey, gave him a high five, a big hug, smiled and said: "Nicke!". After that, it was only "Nicke, Nicke, Nicke!" and Noah followed him everywhere, gave him toys to play with and wanted to hug him all the time.

When it was time for Nicke to leave, to our surprise, Noah was happy to wave bye bye and to come with us for some grocery shopping. Having Noah with me, who is a real boy and doesn't likes shops, I would need Nicke to pop around every time we go shopping ;-).
