Wednesday

Jakob stayed home from dagis Tuesday and Wednesday this week. He didn't have a temperature and had lots of energy but he had a runny nose and was coughing a bit. Tuesday we stayed home all day and he had a 2 hour sleep in the middle of the day (making up for getting up at 5 in the morning...). Wednesday I was getting really restless just being home. Erika came over to visit in the morning which was nice.

In the afternoon I decided to go in to the city with the kids and mum. I was a bit nervous since Jakob was a bit tired and hadn't eaten much. We parked in an indoor car park next to the mall in case we had to leave quickly but I have to say it went very well! I have to keep and eye on him the whole time and when we sat down for a coffee and to feed Isak I gave him some stickers to play with to keep him entertained. Only once he took off laughing but I managed to get him in to a corner and had a good and serious chat to him and after that he was ok. It also helped that mum was with us and we could take turns with looking after Jakob and the pram. I know lots of parents do this all the time with no problems at all but I think we just need to keep practicing.
