Day 1738

No picture from today so I am borrowing one from the future (day 1739), when Alexander is pretending to start his bicycle with his own keys. He had to stop several times on the way to daycare to restart it.

Day 1737

Sunday, May 11th
Emma baked last night and she ended up with an extra bowl of sugar, butter and cocoa mixed together - so we turned that into mocha muffins this morning.

Day 1736

Saturday, May 10th
I had bizarre fever dreams and woke up at 4:30 am and I couldn't go back to sleep. I lay and listened to Lasse and Alexander who were both snoring peacefully. Alexander looked like a cherub and it was light in the room, as it is at 4:30 am in Sweden in May, so I took a picture but it came out black. Then I went to the edit menu and enhanced the light and the picture seemed OK but the next day it was definitely black, perhaps it had just been a dream. Lasse and I had a slow Saturday, with me be rather unhelpful what with the fever, aching, and nauseous. We tried to organize our thoughts and plans and realized that we had both forgotten Emma's dental appointment yesterday. Alexander playing with puddles!

Day 1735

Friday, May 9th
I came home early from work with a fever and a bunch of other flu symptoms. I slept which was very nice, and when Alexander wasn't with Lasse he was in bed with me, watching an ipad.

Day 1734

Thursday, May 8th
No picture of Alexander. Here is a picture of me at 14 years with one of my favorite babysitting clients. I took care of him and his big sister a couple of nights a week for a couple of years while their mom worked. They were adorable.

Day 1726

Walpurgis Eve. Isaac was with friends in town and Emma wanted to stay home. Alexander rode his bicycle, and for the first time used his brakes in a hill. Nice fire, that they kept throwing gasoline on!
