Sleep over party

Friday night and the house is full of kids. Or at least there is three of them, which by the way is a big increase for us. There is a lucky couple out there tonight - two of Noah's buddies from daycare are staying the night at ours. Funny though, it hasn't been that difficult at all, very smooth actually! Sometimes Noah alone can be really hard work so we figured, that the reason why it has been so easy to look after three tonight, is because two of them aren't ours :-)! Normally when kids are without their parents, they are on their best behaviour and the good behaviour rubs off on Noah too who doesn't whine once!
Noah is always so happy to have friends over so you feel a little sad for him that he doesn't have any siblings. He has started to ask about little sisters and little brothers and pays attention to babies and that they live in the mummy's tummy. He also certainly knows that in any case of a future sibling, he would be "a big brother".

Swenglish

The other week we were practicing the weekdays in both languages. Before it all had set properly, Noah was trying to sort it all out in his head and came up with the following;
"Mondag, Tuesdag, Wednesdag, Thursdag, Fridag, Saturdag, Lördagsgodis *, Sundag".

* Lördagsgodis = Saturday candy, the day of treats

Eat it

Putting on the PJ's after bathtime can sometimes be a difficult one with a strong 3 year old wiggle worm jumping in the bed. Tonight I said: "Please Noah, lets just do this so we can read a story. Mummy is running out of patience." The answer I received made me crack up. "Ok, I give you some patience" Noah said, holding his hand out shaped into a cup. "Eat it mummy."

3 years have passed!

Noah spent his 3rd birthday at daycare. As they don't eat sweets at daycare, Noah brought popcorn with him instead of cake which was a big hit. In the morning, they went outside for a play in the snow. Check out the snow angels!!

Summer memories

Our dear friend Hanna took this picture of Noah this summer in Göteborg. Feels as a long time ago when looking out over a Christmassy snowy city.
The excitement is at its peak now when only just over a week to go until Santa comes. Every time Noah hears a sound outside the front door, he looks at us and says: "Tror du att det är tomten mamma?!" = "Do you think it is Santa?!". Ohh, what would Christmas be without children...Noah is totally the new cook at home, making all sorts of baked deliciuos things for the big day next week.

Funny qoutes

In the morning on the way to daycare and the annual Winter Concert, the bag was packed with our new video camera (video's to come of course). I told Noah that we would film him and his friends when they were singing at the concert. He replied: "No, mummy sing and Noah will film."

On the way home from daycare, looking out over the forest with crisp white snow and a clear black sky Noah spotted the moon and said: "Mummy, I want the moon".
