Skating and Finn's birthday party!

Sunday morning started early and we all just had a nice quiet time at home. Later in the morning Adam took Jakob to the ice skating arena to try out his new skates that Adam bought earlier in the week. I stayed home and started going through boxes with Jakob's baby clothes and picked out the ones I want to use for the baby when he arrives. Adam told me that at first Jakob wasn't as excited about the whole thing as last week, but when Finn arrived he got more confident and did really well. In the afternoon we went to Finn's third birthday party!! Zara and Micke had done a great job with organising the party and had fun games for the kids and really delicious cakes etc.
In this photo and the previous one Jakob is trying out the game where you are supposed to climb, crawl and jump over things without touching the floor. Do I need to say that Jakob loved it?


It became so clear to me that Jakob is now longer a little boy. He played and had fun all afternoon without wanting us to be involved, even though there were a few kids there that he hasn't met before.

Even when the kids were sitting down for cakes he sat still the whole time (not like when we are trying to have dinner at home...) and didn't freak out when he got some cake that he doesn't like on his plate (at home he would probably have screamed that he doesn't like cream and picked it up with his hands or something like that :-)) Anyway, he behaved really well and Adam and I tried to stay as far away as possible from him as we thought that would make easier.
At first Finn didn't want to blow out his candles so Jakob was lucky to get to try. He didn't manage to do it so....





...in the end Finn did with a bit of help from his parents.
