I am sorry the updates are not very often anymore. It is not always so easy to find the time but tonight I did :-)
A little more than a week ago Marlee and I went to the Music museum in Stocholm together with some other parents and children. They have a lot of instrument that children can play with. Marlee had a great time!
Last weekend it was Father's day here in Sweden. Marlee made his very first drawing, which he gave Alex.
Yummy apple!!
In order to make it possible for Alex to work more during the days that I work Marlee will be with, a so called, day mum or family daycare, 1-2 days a week. A day mum is a person who stays in her house and have few children that she takes care of while their parents work. We have found one here in Bro who is an "outdoor" day mum which means that she is out door most of the time with the children and it seems to suit Marlee perfect. They focus a lot on learning about the forrest, animals etc. So far we have not left him their alone, but stayed there together with him. The day mum works together with two other day mums and they have activities together every week. Yesterday Alex and I went with them swimming with all the children. Marlee had a great time. The day mums have about 5 children each, of different ages (1-5 years old). So far it seems like Marlee really enjoys being outdoor with the other children. It is nice that it is only a small group of children and that it is in a "home environment".

Yesterday Marlee started to give kisses on the mouth!! He just suddenly wanted to give me kiss on the mouth. He does not really kiss, just puts his mouth to mine, or Alex, or who ever he wants to kiss :-) He is always very fair, if he gives one to me he always want to give one to Alex, too. He is just the sweetest boy!!!
Great photos. Looks like Marlee, my Viking GrandSon, will be a great artist some day! I think the "Day Mum" is a good idea. If the ladies are good, which I'm sure they are, Marlee will have a great time outside and with the other children. Keep him warm!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get my own KISS!!! Love, Farfar
