Shopping, Shopping then fever :S

Yesterday we went for a nice day out shopping. I am normally totally against it but I havent been out much the last couple of weeks so it was nice. First in the morning I went training, then we had a meeting about a fence between us and our neighbours, then it was time to go out!

We went to Brio of course looking for the play oven :) we found one there luckily and bought the last one in red. Then we found some pots and pans and other bits and pieces which went together well. After that we carried on shopping for different things, and ended up at Ikea drinking tea and having a bit of cake. It was really nice :)

Something told me that William wasnt feeling too well though, he wasnt his usual self. When we got home we thought he was tired, however after waking him up later on we realised he was ill :( Fever again, it must really be timed with when he is getting his teeth. I really hope it passes quickly! my parents are coming today to visit, they are here for two weeks but I am sure they would love to see him today too.

A day out!

I am a bit late writing these so I will just assume its Friday today :). Today (Friday) we hade a really nice day all of us. We went to visit a friend who has two kids of her own. We have been friends for about 8 years now but we dont spend much time together now which is a shame.

Me and W had a really nice time there, we went to the park, played with toys and really enjoyed ourselves. he was really tired when we got home. We got some nice food too and M's youngest son was so cute. It makes you want more :)

Now I realise we have to get a play oven and pots and pans for W, he keeps playing with ours in and out of the cupboard, in and out, there he was fascinated by their Brio oven and pots and pans. Maybe I will go and get some on the way home! :) Although I am a bit stressed today so we will see.

Meccano lives on

I know its early, but when its on sale I cant help myself, I have already bought a number of sets of Lego taht he cant play with for another few years, but its just.. so much fun :D its like an addiction.

Today I found two sets of Meccano, one super dupa mega edition that had 700 something odd pieces and an engine, and one that had a couple of hundred pieces. It reminds me so much of my own childhood, I loved building and taking things apart, and if the last couple of months is anything to go by, I think he will too :)

Today we didnt do much, did some laundry, ate food, went into work, bought some Meccano, then I went training, but it seems like I wore him out, because normally he goes to sleep at 8-8:30pm, today at 7:15pm he couldnt keep his eyes open and he said nothing when A put him to bed!

Better after a good nights sleep

Today W didnt wake up until 9:30 am after a good long nights sleep, today he is much much happier, me too :) I managed to go traiing yesterday and get some much needed exercise. Now we have had breakfast, walked around the house together and listened to some Iron Maiden. Now W is sitting on my lap and trying to play with my wallet and the keyboard. when I say play with I mean open, pull everything out and destroy :D

Now as a total surprise he came to me and wanted a long nice hug. I am so glad his grandparents (my parents) are coming over now this Sunday, it seems like such a long time since they came even if it wasnt. He has grown a lot and is doing a lot of new things since the last time. Now its time for us to go and brush our teeth and soon my friend M will come over for Coffee :)

How do you make kids eat things they dont want to?

Its scary, it doesnt matter how nice the food is, he only wants to eat processed food from jars :( I spent a lot of time last week making really nice neutral food for him and as soon as he sees the blender he instantly doesnt want it. It has to be from one of those jars that he knows. How do you get him to realise that the food is really nice?

Second week at home

Wow, a week has gone by already, I dont know who is more tired, me or W. I have been playing with him so much this week that he sleeps really well at night. Our favourite game is for me to hold his hand while he walks around the house 100 times. Followed closely and not totally anticipatidly by playing the drums :) I say this because the first few times I took him to play the drums, he held onto me like we were 40 feet in the air up a tree. However now he is relaxing more and more and yesterday I couldnt get him off the bloomin thing. Everytime I thought he was done and I tried to move he bashed the cymbals again. Yesterday we made plum jam which unfortunately turned out to be way too thin, its like watery. I was supposed to make some more today but i gave up that idea since the first batch didnt turn out very well. The weekend now went really quick, I spent some time in the garden pruning the apple trees and picking plums (surprisingly) balancing on a rickety ladder up a tree. Sunday was more fun though, I spent the day at Sviestad racetrack and even got a ride with STCC driver Matthias Andersson, its really scary how fast someone can drive a normal car when they actually know how to drive! Well thats it for now!

Such is life

I cant help it.. I just really enjoy life and living.

My whole life I have always just enjoyed doing things and when people say its not possible.. I do it to prove them wrong. When people push me down or dump on me, I lt them go on with it.. Its so annoying to hear people complain about everything.. but then again I suppose its Yin and Yang.. if you didnt have the negative people.. you wouldnt be able to be positive.

Today I have had a really good day. After an evening last night with friends here talking about life the universe and everything, today relaxing at home with my fiance and our two cats. Doing some things around the house that need to be done. This is how life should be. I think we focus too much on work and money and I hate that. Life can be over tomorrow, and then where has all the moaning and money in the bank got you? :)

I have decided I refuse to be "mature" in the traditional sense. The only real description I can give mature is to become bitter and lose your humor. The older you get, the lower the tolerance level for other people is. You get burned a lot of times and so you give people less chances and you become colder in some way. Plus that you are not allowed to have fun or show emotions the same as you could when you were younger. If this is maturity, screw it, I'll be immature and enjoy my life while people around me become old and bitter. I still want to play football, drive cars, watch TV, train kung fu, and fly planes until I am as old as possible, I dont think this means I am not allowed to own a house, have kids and get married. At least one thing is sure. I will never sit there comparing my wealth to my neighbor or buying things I cant afford just to show off. :)
