Favourite things at 16 month

Status update about our little Mila 16 months and what she likes

Favorite activity: Gunga ( swing) and she is saying GUNG countless times from she wakes up until she goes to bed. She knows where the swings are and if I am planning not to go to swing she points in the swings directions and looks at me in a firm way and says GUNG! When she is on the swing she might look as if she would be bored.. But she is NOT bored she is just enjoying and has that very important face on. Most times it is drama to get her off the swings and I am sure she would swing all day long if we let her. 


Favourite toy: NALLE ( Teddybear) was Mila´s first word after mamma, titta (look) and tack (thank you). She is using it that frequently that even her small friend which has no other connection with Swedish is also saying nalle as she is carrying a big teddy-bear around. Mila loves her teddy bear, she puts them on her little car, drives them in her small stroller, tries to dress them in dresses, hoodies and socks, puts them on the potty and wants them with when she is having a bath.

 



Favorite word (also in the category of most useful words) NEJ (no) or NEJ NEJ NEJ NEJ (no no no no) and with clear movements to make sure that we have understood the no. Mila has always been very clear with what she wants and what she doesn't want. Now she has taken it to a higher level when she can clearly say no and man she says no to most things. "Mila do you want to eat?" Ne! "Mila lets dress you!" NE! "Mila can I have a kiss?" NE NE! and so on and so on. And I can´t help it but it is sooo cute all these no´s ! She is not using yes at all really, only if you ask if she loves mamma and if she wants to go and play with Hristina she pauses and then says MMMM.


Breakthrough word: Pappa ! We have been asking her for months and months if she can say pappa and she has kept ignoring us or replied mamma. Pappa Loren has kept a brave face and been waiting patiently. And so a few weeks it finally happened! Loren was on a business trip and Mila all of a sudden quietly but clearly said pappa in the cutest way like she was tasting the new word. I managed to ask her again and record it so I could send it to a very proud pappa. Now she is saying pappa louder, clearer and more frequent for each day. Music to pappas ears. And pappa Loren should also thank Alfons Åberg ( kids character in a movie which lives with his pappa and shouts pappa like hundred times in the movie Hokus Pokus)

Karatänuppdatering

Det har gått 15 dagar sedan jag sist gjorde en uppdatering om Corona statusen här i Düsseldorf Eftersom vi när skolorna beslutades att stängas var sjuka och ganska rejält sjuka hela gänget så kände vi först inte av hur livet i karantän eller isolering var eftersom vi även under vanliga omständigheter hade hållt oss hemma. Om vi hade Corona det får vi aldrig veta eftersom dom inte testar här i nuläget, men jag har aldrig blivit så risig av en vanlig förkylning med hosta, tungt i bröstet och väldigt väldigt lite energi. Det positiva var att det var inga problem att få kontakt med vården och den hjälp vi behövde här i Düsseldorf, vi ringde innan för att kolla om vi verkligen fick komma in med feber och det fick vi fast genom särskilda ingångar på sjukhuset. Känns tryggt också med den mindre barnklinik dit barnen går som vi hittills alltid har fått tid samma dag och även för oss vuxna walk in klinik utan att behöva ringa innan eller långa köer. Jag ska tillägga att vi inte har någon dyr p...

IF: Ocean

Ocean is this weeks topic on Illustration Friday.  Prague is cold and snowy at the moment. A nice warm summer day is far away and so are the ocean. But we keep dreaming of warm sunny days and the ocean far away.  Havet är veckans inspirationsord på Illustration Friday. Prag är snöigt och kallt idag. Sommarens varma väder är långt bort och det är havet också. Men vi drömmer om soliga dagar och havet långt borta.

A hate-love relationship

 I have a love-hate relationship to washing. I love the feeling of putting things in the washing machine. If I don't have things in the washing basket ready for washing I go for a hunt around the apartment looking for things that can do with a wash. This behavior is totally inherited from my mother who could ask me to take clothes off so she could wash it ( possible that they also smelled a little horsey..) As much as I love the washing moment I hate the feeling of having to fold and put away washed and dried cloths.And don't even mention ironing, I refuse, a crease or two has never hurt anyone... These days the washing pile is bigger but at the same time more bright and colorful. Sweet little clothes for a sweet little girl. Jag har ett speciellt förhållande till att tvätta kläder, en passionerad hatkärlek. Kärleken riktas mot att få stoppa in kläder i tvättmaskinen för tvätt. Finns det inte mycket i tvättkorgen letar jag rätt på något som kan behöva en tvätt. ...
