I am writing this post from my current work desk as I should already written it last night. Yesterday was quite hot, about 31 C. With mom we made a plan to go to your grand pa’s house (your mom’s dad’s house). I took SA after work and mom took K. We met at our house and quickly switched cycles for our little car. And in 15 minutes or, so we arrived to house at a forest....
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about names in particular why and how we decided to name you like you are. OD: we named you after a very special saint and feelings we had with your mom after you came to this world. We were looking at you and just new what your name will be. Unfortunately I can’t say much about your name yet but for starters I will assign you a proper initials in this little blog....
Good thing about this daily challenge I’m doing is that I am thinking each day what will I do with you two. I have to prepare myself in advance that everything works smoothly as possible so we can enjoy our time together. This morning we stayed inside and played in kid’s room. Well mostly we learnt the alphabet. OD you are making a slow but steady progress with letters. The biggest challenge for you is to figure out what is the first letter in a spoken word....
Ah weekends. Days when daddy takes both of you on a new adventures while mommy can rest in the mornings. She takes overnight shifts when YD has bad nights, so we compromise that I take you both, and she can get some rest in the mornings. Today we went to the forest. Place of endless games and adventures. We began by packing our first kid aid which includes: bottle of water snacks 2 diapers and baby wipes for the youngest one And off we go to the not very steep hill deep in the forest....
Thanks to your mother, summer has also become one of my favorite times of the year. Whenever we have chance and temperature is above 28 C I set up a little swimming pool so you two can play together in the water with your favorite play toys. For me this is also one of the most relaxed time. I am in my deckchair only legs inside tiny swimming pool outside which gives you two outside an excellent excuse to water my legs with your toys....
YD: I am amazed how a baby your size can make so much poo. But then again you eat a lot and if something goes in it must also somehow go out. This morning you slept a bit longer which I think contributed to a very quite morning commute when you sat at the back of my bicycle. No words from you just looking quite at the peaceful traffic. When we got home you were so cheerfully playing in the sand almost as if we were still on a vacation enjoying sea and playing on the sand....
A few months ago I red about a daughter who said she wished she had more memories about her father, about family time and how she loved reading those few journal posts when he wrote it. Then I also found out, on some social media site, about a mother who writes each day a few lines to her daughters. Now I will try to write a few lines for one week and see how it goes....
