First snow!

Today the trees and roads were covered by a thin layer of snow. I remember how exciting it used to be to see the first snow as a child. This time is the first time Jakob really understands what it means and he was so happy! when I picked him up after day care today he told me that they had been throwing snow balls and measuring how far they could throw them. He did 6 metres and was very proud!
Adam is in Kalix today and will come home late but Jakob, Isak and I had a very cosy and fun afternoon and evening. Jakob is just the best big brother! most of the time at least and today was one of those good days. He fed Isak his dinner and his porridge before bedtime and did it SO well. Put just the right amount of food on the spoon and placed the spoon very gently in Isaks mouth and pulled it out again at the right time. Last time he tried feeding was a couple of months ago and it didn't got so well but tonight Jakob was the king of feeding! it helps that Isak adores Jakob and can't take his eyes from him. When I feed Isak he always try to turn around to look for Jakob. Isak is not quite as happy as normal because of his cold but as long as you hold him he is fine, so I can't complain. Isak and Jakob are the most amazing children, of course everyone says that about their own children, but they really are! I often feel that Jakob is a lot smarter than I am (not so hard to be, I know...) and I learn from him all the time. He makes me think about what I say and makes me think twice before doing something or saying something. He is caring and helpful and very attentive. He is curious and wants to learn and understand how things work. He is not shy, the other day in the supermarket when we were lining up to pay, he asked an old man in front of him if he can run. The man said yes and then he asked if he was a fast runner. Then he turned around and asked the same question to the man behind him.
Today at dagis one of the carers said that Jakob had said that he didn't have a ticket to go to Australia. I asked him about it and he said that daddy has said that I am not going to get to go to Australia. Hmmm. I have to ask Adam about that when he gets home. Probably one of Adam's bad jokes ;-)
9 days before we leave for Thailand. Can't quite believe it.
