Sick again.

Nässelfjäril!

Look what I found inside today
and took a picture of.

It is January and winter.
A bit fucked up, I would say.
I helped it to get out,
but it probably is to cold outside for it.

Secret Santa!

I want to thank my secret Santa that gave me such nice gifts.
I got a knitted winter hat with gloves with no fingers.
That was so thoughtful and nice done.
The colours fits me perfect too.
I will take a picture of me in the hat some day soon.
Then it was a lovely box with cards, envelopes, letters and stickers in.
Thank you so much to the secret Santa.
I wish I knew who you are so I could thank you,
but hopefully you read this post.

Hungrig katt!

annalena@gmail.com — Sun, 23 Dec 2007 06:35:00 GMT

It doesn't matter I'm not hungry any more,
I'm not leaving my food.

Söt katt!

annalena@gmail.com — Sun, 23 Dec 2007 06:32:56 GMT

I hope you slept like this kitten.

Alex and addition!

The other day I asked Alex what 2+2 was.
He did not understand what I mean.
So I showed him how to hold up two fingers on one hand
and then two fingers on the other hand,
and then told him to count them.
I didn't expect him to get it direct,
but yesterday he hold up 2 fingers on one hand and then two on the other
and then counted it to four.
I hadn't asked him.
I then asked him what 1+1 was,
he counted it to 2.
Then I asked 3+2,
he hold up two fingers on one hand and then three on the other,
but when he was going to count them he had slipped up one more finger,
so it was 3 and 3, and he got it to 6.
But he really got how you do this.
I'm impressed, he's just 4 years old.

Alex, me and talk about when he was a baby!

annalena@gmail.com — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 19:44:40 GMT

Bed time for Alex.
I had finished reading for him and he talked to me like he often does,
if he's not to tired.
He said he was a baby, so I said, ok.
He likes to be that sometimes, so I don't object to that.
I think it's important that he can be that if he wants to.
Often he want his name to be Emil then.
So I said to him, do you remember when Emil was a very little baby and he puked all the time
and drooled a lot too. It's nice he's a bit bigger and don't do that now, I said.
I also said, i remember when you was a baby and puked a lot too.
He then said, I remember when i puked all over the door and I cleaned it all up.
I was a little??? Can he remember when he was a baby?
I then said, when you was a baby I and grandmother (my mother) often took you to the swing,
he then said, I liked that and that he never fell of, he always hold on the swing.
Again I got ????
Then I said, one thing that was nice when you was a baby was that you didn't eat gravel when you was a baby,
like many does.
He then said, I did a few times, it tasted fine.
What do you say.
Can he remeber these things?

Spiderman!

I just couldn't choose one or two,
he's so cute.

Snö!

annalena@gmail.com — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 06:36:30 GMT

The first snow is here.
It was the first thing I saw looking out the window this morning.
I told Alex to come looking, he said, "snö" and smiled.
It's melting away though.

Katt med sked!

I just loved this picture so I had to share it with you,
in case anyone else would too.

Funny for me!

I laughed so much to this video.

Alex first word!

Yesterday Alex was making a card for Emil.
This one.

After the card is done he tells me what to write on it for him.
However, this time he wanted to write by himself.
This is what he wrote. I spelled it for him.

He first wrote Emil, notice the upside down M.
I know it's a usual thing for kids to do.
Then he wanted to write Alexander.
He wrote A and L, then he noticed the A was upside down
and he got so upset about it.
He wanted to erase it, but it was not that kind of pen you can erase.
I tried to explain that to him, but it didn't help.
Even the suggestion that the A was standing on it's head didn't help.
I think it was smart of him to notice he wrote it wrong.
I was so proud of him.
My 4 year old son.
We do talk about letters and numbers a lot since he loves that.

Alex asked Michael to take a picture of him and me,
and this is what it got to be.
What picture is best?
I'm going to frame one of these.
I don't know if the first one maybe is to bright, if I should change that?
Or if the second one isn't bright enough?

Hår!

Can't wait to rinse it out and see how it looks.

My foot feels a bit better today.
The bruises and the pain is less.
maybe I can take little walk on it outside tomorrow.
