Easter on the Country Side

Easter was spent in Lundsbrunn with mormor and morfar. I think most of Sweden had fantastic weather for the long weekend which is quite unusal for both Easter and April over here. Gee, we've longed for shorts and T-shirt!

Thoughts that go missing

Sitting at the dinner table talking about this and that.. I ask Noah a question and when he is about to answer, he goes quiet, looks at me and says "Uhm, I forgot it in my head".

(He later found his answer, in his head ;-). )

Milestone

The milestone birthdays are often celebrated with big orchestra. Today's Shawn's birthday and, by his choice, we celebrated it very low key. Noah and I got up at 5:30 and made blueberry scones and served a big birthday brekkie for daddy before heading to work.

We decided to cancel the booked babysitter and to stay at home, relaxing as a family with a take away dinner. After dinner, the birthday boy showed his true age...by going to bed at 6PM! Did I mention that he turned 30 hehe :-).

Love you lots babe!

Australia theme pics

As mentioned in the last post, at preschool they've recently learnt about Australia. Attached are some pics taken by the teachers. Unfortunately the pictures are quite small but grab your glasses and you may see Noah playing the Didgeridoo as a true little Aussie! The instrument is handcrafted by the little group of 3 year olds.

What they learn at preschool

The last month preschool has focused their teaching on different countries and what is special about them. Last week the kids learnt about Australia...

Yesterday Noah and I, on his request, watched an episode of "In the Night Garden" (the storyline revolves around funny characters that live in the forest). This was Noah's favorite TV-show when we lived in Australia. Since then, he has moved on to more "big boys" stuff like Toy Story etc. so I was a little surprised by the request. I asked if watching the show reminded him of when we lived in Australia. Noah's answer was so typical of how the brain of a little child works and how the connect things that they learn. "Yes, mummy. They live in the bush".
