I'm fine

Thanks for asking. Daddy knew I was better when I ate 11 bagel bites in one sitting.

Reunion

I ran into my Ladybug / Turtle / Bearcat classmate while picking up Ewan the other day. I was so excited! Mamma printed off this picture for me and I taped it to the wall beside my bed. So I can always look at myself. And TJ.

Sales girl

I sold Girl Scout cookies two nights at my grocery store. And I'm really good at it. I ask everyone that comes in if they want to buy some cookies, and I run up to them or block their cart and they all say "how can I say no to such a pretty face?" Course, Mamma has no problem saying no to me when I ask for some cookies.

M: What do you say if someone says they already bought cookies? (Expecting "enjoy your cookies")
n: Well, you haven't bought cookies from us!

Sick sense

I threw up today. A lot.

(this morning)
e: I didn't get to watch TV yesterday. And that made me sad and that got me sick.

(this afternoon)
e: I stayed home and watched lots of TV and now I feel better. Because TV made me better.

Chinese

I figured out chopsticks!

Family portrait

That's Mamma. And that's me wanting to be picked up. And that's Bedstemor sitting. And that's Bedstefar. And that's the sugary junk bowl (aka candy bowl).

It's the onion

 

 

 

n: I miss Bedstemor and Bedstefar already. I liked seeing that they're pirates.

n: I liked seeing Mårten and Johanna. Johanna's cake was so good and I liked the ingredients too.

Retirement village

Old people stay up late, eat chocolate/candy all day (breakfast rolls drizzled with chocolate, dessert after lunch AND dinner), and run me all over the place. I can't keep up with these octogenarians!

Eric Carle museum

A museum of art with a place to make your own art? Brilliant! When I got inspired I could run over to the studio and create.

Family

Photo with great aunt Johanna is on the camera.

Snow gourmand

Snowball snow tastes better than icy snow. Who knew snow could taste different?

I love snow

 

 

(Upon waking)
n: There's new snow! Can we go outside?

Super-hero

e: h, u, l, k, spells Hulk!
D: (beaming)

Visit with Bedsteparents

Today was so great! I traveled by car, bus, train, and plane to visit my Bedstemor and Bedstefar. First I was shy because Bedstefar looks like a pirate. But then they have me chocolate and realized he was a good pirate! I then took over their house with all of my pens and pencils. And my favorite part was that its warm and they have lots of snow! I had to change clothes half way though as I got too wet.

Happy Valentine's

n: Today was the greatest day EVER!! We got to eat so much candy at school!

Love

D: I love you.
n: I love you back!
e: I love you front!

Gourmand

e: These M&M's go good with chocolate.

(Watching documentary about China)
e: What are they growing Daddy?
D: They're growing rice.
e: For Chinese food?

Daddy daughter dance (with translation)

Daddy Daughter

We'll dance. We will drink hot coffee, wear high tops, wear dresses. We will see each other.

Daddy Daughter Dance

 

 

We got all dressed up for the DaddyDaughter Dance, or as I spell it, DaddyDoDr. And there was music. But I wanted to dance with my friends. Daddy looked good though.

Dinner date

Mamma and me went for a yummy dinner. And somehow I managed to worm in some playtime at my favorite bookstore. Yeah!

Fashion

Hippie leg warmer chique.

Need to have a talk

I drew a picture of my family. Daddy, Mamma, the baby I want them to have, me, Ewan and his puppy (doll). Mamma passed out when I showed the picture to her.

Writing

More of my hidden talents.

e: (Reading Uncle Yo's stickers upside-down) What's A, T, D?

Snow!

Finally! Good snow!

Fashion Smashion

Mamma is so cute. She bought me leg warmers because she had them when she was a kid, and she thought she was trendy. I had to teach her the 2013 way to wear leg warmers. Put on leggings (pink with orange stars). Add leg warmers (grey with blue hearts). Add striped knee-high socks OVER the leg warmers. Poof. You got it.
