It starts early
Noah is one of the four boys in the class, the rest of them are all girls. Everyone plays well together and Noah likes all his friends at school. However, the last months Noah has been talking a lot about one specific girl; Caitlin. One day I asked Noah if he was in love with her where upon he replied yes. Of course I was curious to know why and he explained that it is because "she puts leaves in my hoodie". So cute... I love hearing about his friends and the relationships with each other but I was surprised to hear that he was already fond of a girl in "that way". I spoke to the manager at the preschool about it and she said it is very common around the age 4-5 to develop a more love like relationship with a girl/boy. And I must say, Noah has great taste in girls; Caitlin certainly is the prettiest girl at school and more so, she is a lovely character and suits him perfectly ;-).

If you want to hear the truth, ask the children...
Noah, Vera and I are getting into the elevator at home and the old man coming out of it is nice enough to hold the door for us as I drive the pram in. Noah walks into the elevator and says: "Mummy, that man smells like a old sandwich". .............

Rolling over
Today Noah spotted Vera's first rolling over move. After the first one this morning, she has already done plenty more. Yet waiting to catch it on camera!

Aiming high
Yesterday we helped our dear friends to move house. Don't know if I should even call it a house since it is a chateau...beautiful place truly. On arrival, after passing through the gates and driving up the path to the mansion we get out of the car and Noah says: "Ett sånt här hus vill jag bo i mamma" ("I want to live in a house like this mummy"). Oh yes, this boy is aiming high in life! And so is Vera - she really enjoyed lazing around in the living room looking out over the lake from on top of the grand piano ;-)...

Size and scale
The globe that Noah got for his birthday is often lit and we look at it together. The other day he asked me "why are there no houses...or trees or flowers?". Ehhh...ok...let me think how to put this in a simple way.....

It's being hot, hot, hot
The house is a mess! And I like it! This week we've scrapped all household duties - they are officially on hold due to the fantastic weather that we've finally received. BBQing everyday, planting veggies, walking around in thin summer clothing until midnight...doing all sorts of things you should be doing when the sun is out. When there is a lovely day here, everyone is outside and then I mean everyone! Only a fool would be inside a week like this as you never know, this might be all that you'll be getting for the whooole summer.

BBQ time
It's a bit weird here in the North as the temperature can both drop and increase heaps just over a few hours. Funnily, each season we always seem to be caught off guard! The last days it's been cold and rainy and not at all "May weather". Then suddenly, bam, the heats hit us and now it's even too hot to cook dinner inside!
