At the moment all three of us are more or less ill. Elias has had a cough all week and it was probably worst yesterday and now he seems to be getting better. Dave is pretty bunged up and miserable at the moment and I have lost my voice. We try to keep up the good mood though and playing with Elias is a great help, as you can see...

Even more teeth
Elias actually has nine teeth now and yet another one is just about to erupt. They are shooting up like weed at the moment.
I must say that am very proud of finally realising I can shoot videos with my phone and post them on the blog. Unfortunatelly I wasn't quick enough at IKEA so the film is very short, but it can only get better! I will try to catch Elias when he tries to jump, it is very cute. We think it might be something he has seen the kids at nursery do because he is almost obsessed at the moment with learning how to do it.

Fun at ikea
On Saturday we went to IKEA and Elias was having a ball. He was chasing this moving sign for quite a while...
Today we have had a really nice time with Anna, Patrik and Jacob. We went to a little farm with a few animals and had a fika. On the way back to their flat Elias fell asleep in the pram and when we got there we put him out on the balcony so he could continue to sleep. Later he and Jacob was playing very nicely, maybe not with each other but at least next to each other.

A bit poorly
At the moment Elias has a bit of a cold. He is still in a good mood, but he doesn't sleep very well in the night. The last two nights we have had him in our bed. I don't sleep that well since he keeps kicking me in his sleep, but it is still better than having to get up loads of times during the night to comfort him.
He has also gotten his 8th tooth recently so that might be causing him to be a bit off coulour as well. He is still in good spirit during the day though, running around and playing.
This is what our new desk looks like by the way.
I have added more pictures in a new album.

More teeth
On the weekend Dave discovered a new tooth so now Elias has 7 teeth! We are guessing now that the bad mood he had a few weeks ago is connected to the new tooth erupting..

Dagis
Elias has had three days at nursery accompanied by me (dave) and tomorrow I am going to try and leave him on his own.
On the whole I think he has enjoyed it. He gets a bit grumpy when he's tired or hungry but who doesn't? I have sneaked off and left him for ten minutes a couple of times (to repark car) and he hardly noticed I was gone.
He was a bit afraid of the other in-mates at first, but luckily they are all really sweet kids. There are 2 sets of twins in his "class". One have been off sick (kids are off sick all the time!), the other set Hassan and Housain (2 years old) are very sweet to him. Oliver (also 2) is a big bruiser but has a heart of gold. If Elias can keep on good terms with him then no one will pick on him. Then there is Sama who is the same age as Elias but a little more independent probably because she's been at the nursery a while already. Amelia and Mamadu are a mere 1 year old and much smaller than Elias so shouldn't cause him any problems. It's amazing the difference between a 1 year old and a 16 month old like Elias.
When it is time to sleep, the kids are put in a quiet dim room with little foam mattresses and towels for blankets and expected to go to sleep. Amazingly they do pretty quickly and without fuss. I hope Elias will quickly get used to that.
