Life just got busy...

I don't know where the last 2 weeks went, life just got busy I guess....

Almost 2 weeks ago we attended Jonas' end of year concert, which was really fun. Unfortunately our pictures didn't turn out that well, so you will have to do without.

When he got home from his concert his pacifiers tasted bad. We had been telling him that then you get too big the pacifiers will taste bad. So before going to his concert I had brush all his pacifiers with a kind of nail polish that helps nail biters quit nail biting. He first looked at it, tried it again and the took it out looking it again... I asked what was wrong, and he told me it tasted bad. I told him he must have gotten too big, which he accepted, well almost just before falling asleep for a nap he said "mummy I want to be little again".

Handing over the pacifiers to the pirates in Legoland

Since then he only asked for it once the same evening, and tried it again, and it still tasted bad. So since then there has been no problem. So last Tuesday we went to Legoland with a colleague of mine and her 2 daughters. Jonas handed over all his pacifiers to the Pirates, and in return got a box of Lego.

A ride in the canoe with my colleagues daughter

Otherwise I have pretty much just been working... well until Saturday, we decided to have a impulsive BBQ in the street with the neighbours. We told people to bring their own food, and started a BBQ. We had a really nice evening, and at some point I had to race one of the neighbours on stilts... it went okay, but I lost, so later on, after a bit more wine I figured it was time for a rematch... That wasn't a good idea. I ended up falling, my foot hurt, but I figured a good nights sleep would do it good.

My foot after a trip to the emergency room

Well Sunday morning it wasn't better, so I ended up going to the emergency room. It turned out one of the bones in my foot was broken! So now I'm on crutches for a few weeks. I was on work today because we are really not many people this week since its vacation time, so I felt bad if I had to call in sick, though I did office work all day. Now the next 4 days just need to be over, then it will be my turn to have a vacation.

How time flies...

I can't believe how time just flies, Jonas is growing up way too fast. He is so much fun, and learning new things all the time...

On Saturday he had a haircut, it's not like it was the first haircut, more like the 10th or 12th haircut, so that wasn't a big deal. But the hairdresser asked him if he wanted wax in his hair, and he said yes... suddenly my little boy seemed so big!

I can't believe how naughty he looks:)

This weekend there was a sale on bicycles, and since we had been talking about getting him a bike, well we might just take advantage of the sale. So we got him his first bike, a spiderman bike. He had a bit of trouble figuring out how to use the pedals, but he is starting to get the hang of it.

After starting the Early Years programme, he has also started saying a few English words, which is quite fun. The first sentence he learned was "May I be excused", though Jonas doesn't quite know how to pronounce excused, so it sounds like "May I be a juice". He is also starting to know the colours in English, and sometimes he will be asking me "mum what is x called in Early Years?" to him it's not English it's Early Years. 

And soon we will be going on vacation, in 26 short days we will be flying to Turkey. We tried explaining it to Jonas on Friday, we told him we would fly to Turkey and go in the swimming pool. We showed him pictures on the computer etc. So when we arrived at his swimming class on Saturday morning he told me it was the wrong swimming pool. So I tried to explain that we have to sleep a lot of nights before we are going. When I asked him if he remember what we were doing on Sunday when he woke up, well he answered "Fly to Turkey"... so it might only be days, but I'm not sure he quite gets that:)

Have a great week everyone:)

My little big boy:)

My little boy is getting big... he wants to do everything by himself, though not everything is possible to do by yourself. He does get points for trying, and you got to practice to get better.

This is him eating yogurt without any help, a bit messy, but hey I had a very happy and proud boy.

Enjoy your weekend:)
