Day 598

March 31st

We went to another small play area. Alexander went down the slide twice and then he wanted to leave.



It was cold. We hope that it warms up in April!

Day 597

March 30th

Alexander enjoys playing "up and down" with me. We sit down and say "up" as we stand up and put our arms in the air and "down" as we sit down again. It is good exercise for Mommy.

Alexander thought it was fun to put on Mommy's hat and run around.


We made shadows in the living room.

Day 596

March 29th

Pulling off Mommy's sock.


Emma asks Alexander, "Where is the VERY pink wall"? and he pats it. Then she asks him where the pink wall is and he runs over and pats the lighter pink wall.

Day 593

March 26th

Alexander's crib came in handy today when we wanted to clean and we didn't want his help, which includes turning off the vacuum cleaner while we are trying to vacuum. He had a good time throwing his stuffed animals out except for this eensy weensy spider toy. He has gotten very good at doing all the movements to the song, which we sang a couple of times.



Emma and I went to a used children's clothing/toy sale and found many useful things and some fun things too, including this bus, with opening doors and luggage storage areas.


We also visited Alexander's cousins, and when we told him that we were going to their house he said their names over and over.

Waffle Day in Sweden. I thought Alexander would love them, but he didn't really care for the whipped cream or the strawberry jam.

Day 589

March 22nd

We stopped on the way home from day care at a small park. I was cold and suggested we go home and have some pear. Alexander thought this was a good idea; he happily abandoned the slide, and he thoroughly enjoyed his pear.

Alexander delivered laundry, dropping it on Isaac's rug.


Alexander likes to play with the lego under Isaac's bed.

Day 587

March 20th

Daddy went outside to play in the park with Alexander, and while they were out Alexander noticed his own shadow; he did not like the fact that it followed him around!


Alexander was standing on Lasse's calves right before I took this. He does this a lot since Daddy usually makes interesting noises when he does so.

Day 586

March 19th

Toddler moments.

Alexander wanted to eat the cleaning spray in the bathroom but we wouldn't let him :-) and he freaked out. He didn't want to be picked up or held, that just made him angrier. He lay on, drooled on, and licked the floor.




I moved him onto the rug since he was banging his head and eventually he calmed down.



Feeling better, he went into Emma's room. She was taking a bath, so he decided it was a good time to look through her desk.


Cool stuff in here.


Later in the day, we went to visit some friends who live on the other side of town, and there were more toddler moments; subways are fun to watch but he doesn't really enjoy riding them.

Day 585

March 18th

Toys! Alexander has started playing with his toys in a new way; talking and talking (although we do not understand what he is saying) while he opens and closes things and moves figures around.
