Jakob said to me he wanted to hold Isak like this last night.
Isak has had cradle cap (skorv) since he was born and yesterday I tried to get rid of it. I rubbed his head with some special cream and left it on for a few hours. Then I rubbed the his head with a towel and started combing to get rid of it all. After that I washed his hair with shampoo. It worked quite well and I think most of it is gone. His hair looked really funny after and still does this morning.
Together with my book club friends we decided to do something fun apart from reading and talking about books. Someone suggested havinga SPA night and Saturday night was the day we booked in. Sara organised it all and she did an amazing job and we really got spoilt.
Sara had planned everything so well to create a SPA atmosphere in the house and it was a success!
This is the room we spent most of the evening...
And some of us were relaxing
Lots of choices...
With a delicious dessert!
Sigrid and I and Isak of course stayed over at Sara's place and Isak was the first one to wake up the next morning.
Isak reading a book and Sara and I having a cup of morning tea. Sigrid was still asleep (lucky thing).
Last week Jakob got his first golf clubs!! Adam told Jakob that he had a present for him. Jakob got really excited and him and I sat on the couch waiting for Adam to come with the present. Adam walked in to the room with a big smile on his face, and put down the bag with the clubs on the floor. Jakob got up and said: Where is the present? Here it is said Adam and pointed at the golf bag. Jakob ran up to the bag started lookin around it, he lifted up some of the clubs to see if there was a present inside the bag and started to look quite upset.
Friday we went to the singing in the morning for the last time this season. The place was crowded but Jakob did well and had a good time. After the singing we picked up some food from McDonalds and went to Maria's place. Zara and Finn also joined us.
Last Thursday mormor and morfar came over in the afternoon to spend some time with us, make pancakes and to look after the kids when I went to my book club since Adam was working late. Jakob helped mormor with the pancakes...
When grandma and poppa were here visiting poppa made up some paper planes for Jakob. He still really likes playing with them.
Isak spending some quality time with morfar.
Already We
After dinner Stina and Lova came over. Jakob looooves having visitors. He talks and talks and just wants to be in the middle of everyting. It is impossible to have a decent conversation, he keeps saying: I want to talk now, mummy it is my turn to say something.
This is what the wall in our laundry looks like. That's where I have the change table for Isak. Tonight Jakob was with me when I was getting Isak ready for bed and he asked me: Mummy can we count all the spots on the wall? Oh yes Jakob, just go ahead :-)
Jakob and Isak have had a good week so far even though Jakob does not want to leave dagis at all when I come to pick him up. This week was the first week at his new temporary dagis. They are doing some renovations to his normal dagis so all the kids have been moved to a temporary dagis (that's normally empty) for three months. Jakob was quite excited about going there yesterday but he must have been a bit nervous because he held my hand when we walked from the car to the building. Once in there it took him about 2 seconds to let go of me and he has had no problems at all adjusting to this new place. The only problem is that he doesn't want to leave. Yesterday he cried heavily when I came to get him and only stopped when I asked if he wanted to go to mormor and morfars instead of going home. He had a few cries in the car on the way there when he remembered that he wanted to be at dagis and said: I want to go back to dagis, I want to be there all night!!
This place is becoming one of our favourite places to visit. It is close to where we live (and the riding club), it has really nice and cheap "fika", there are animals like sheep, pigs and hens to look at and the surrondings are really nice a bit of countryside felling. Earlier this week we went there straight from the riding club.
Jakob and Alice play extremly well at times but at other times they don't seem to get on at all. This time Jakob was only looking for boys to play with when we got there, he started playing with a boy who he quickly called "my friend" and almost got obsessed with him. He ran after him and said "my friend, my friend!). A bit later on him and Alice found some fun things to do together and they even posed for me in front of the camera.
Jakob really likes pigs!
Jakob is such a great helper, at least when it is something he like doing. Monday earlier in the week I took him with me again (same as last Monday) to the riding club to do some work. He is starting to know what it is all about and does a great job. First he helped me to push the pram with Isak from the car park up to the stables.
He quickly gets tired and says he has to have a little rest. That means watching me or pushing the pram to make sure Isak stays asleep.
Next on the agenda is to fill up with new sawdust and Jakob pushes the big trolley by himself.
He also likes filling the hay bags but struggles a bit to get the hay in to the bag.
He didn't get to spend much time with the horses but we went outside to say hello to a couple before...
