Hemma!!

Det blev en dag hemma! Tittade ut och såg snö i morse....sen var det regn och senare även isregn...mysko väder här borta....
Vi har i alla fall njutit av dagen inomhus i värmen! Familjen W kom på besök och Aron och Tilde hade helskoj i flera timmar!!
Nu i kväll har jag hunnit med lite läsning och nu är det dags för sängen. Vad morgondagen har att erbjuda återstår att se...

Ice....

It's icy here! Really icy....it took a while to get all the ice off the car...it's cold......too cold!!
Was hoping to get a day at home tomorrow due to this weather, but it doesn't look that way...well I have to take the morning classes off since daycare is closed in the morning, it opens later due to the weather....
Well well, so it is...
I hope the weather is better wherever you are right now!!

Räkning

Ett, två, tre, fyra, fem, sex, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven.....

Så kan det se ut när Aron räknar. Antar att det är dags att lära honom sju till elva på svenska med....=)

An update

It is fascinating how fast a child picks up a language! Aron and I played with some tennis balls today. I had two in my hands and he came to me and said; "This my ball." I have never really heard him say more than one or two words in English before (at the same time that is), now all of a sudden he said a sentence...even if it was only three words and the verb was missing.. =) I guess now is the time to focus on the Swedish at home, so that he doesn't start speaking English with us too and forgetting his Swedish.

Then we have the matter of sleeping. I hope Aron didn't get my genes when it comes to sleeping....I have ususally a hard time getting to sleep in the evening unfortunately... It has lately taken us between one and two hours to get Aron to sleep...he wants one of us to lie down next to him in his bed. Note that his bed is just a toddler bed.....so not much space there....Then he likes to hold my ear, and he tosses and turns and drinks water and talks and.......then he lies quiet for a while before finally falling asleep. The thing is that lying there in a dark room with him for one to two hours kind of puts you in a sleep mode yourself....so no idea to open any of the school books after that!

And then some Swedish to conclude todays writings!
Aron har även lärt sig att slå kullerbyttor nu, så det är nya nöjet. Han och pappa slår kullerbyttor på vår säng. Han växer den lille. Undra om jag kunde slå en kullerbytta när jag var så där liten...

Now it is time for me to find my bed and try to get some sleep! Tomorrow is Hebrew day, which means it is one of two days when we have to get up around 6:15 or so....not my favorite days at all!!

Sleep tight!

Tillbaka till vardagen

Ja nu har skolan satt igång igen. Det känns både lite jobbigt samtidigt som det känns bra. Det är ju trots allt det vi är här för, skulle vi inte gå i skolan skulle jag inte vara här. Tulsa är väl inte det roligaste stället att vistas på om man så säger.
Vi har fullt upp den här terminen. Jag tar 15.5 credits vilket innebär fem trepoängskurser och en gympakurs på ett halvt poäng. Förutom det har jag dessutom en audit som innebär att jag får sitta med på lektionerna men jag behöver inte göra något kursarbete, och får därmed inte ett betyg. Kursen kommer dock att stå med som just en audit i mitt slutbetyg sedan.

Vi har bestämt oss för att äta lunch på skolan två dagar i veckan, för att slippa stressa med vad vi ska äta och sånt, det känns bra då det är bra mat och eftersom att just maten var ett gissel förra terminen...både fantasi och ork saknades om man så säger. Sen kommer vi nog att sitta mer på skolan och plugga nu med eftersom vi har lektioner varje dag den här terminen.

Idag har vi dock slappat och varit på zoo med familjen W! Mycket trevligt om än lite väl kallt för min smak, det var kring 2 grader idag...men det var i alla fall halva priset att gå in så vi sparade lite kosing i alla fall på att åka. Vi har dock tänkt att köpa ett årskort för att kunna åka oftare, dock sparar vi det tills lite senare eftersom det halva priset på inträde verkar gälla fram till slutet av februari.

Sen var det Aron då. På dagis i går kom han hem med tre "ouchi-reports," dvs rapporter om att han gjort sig illa....det var lite rivmärken på ryggen eftersom han satt sig mot nåt hårt, sen hade han och en kompis slagit i hop med huvudena och så hade han slagit munnen så det blödde...och i går kväll så vill han inte sova. Under natten verkade det som han hade ont i munnen när han skulle ha nappen, så sömnen blev en aning störd. Förutom det hade han magknip också...Dock verkade han normal på dagen idag förutom att han verkade ha lite ont när han skulle äta en chicken nugget. När vi kom hem från zoot var det dock andra visor. Han hade inte sovit middag och var heltrött och han klagade på ont i munnen, har fått alvedon nu och sover...han somnade på en kvart tror jag och redan innan sju....i vanliga fall somnar han numer efter en till två timmar och gärna efter nio...så vi får väl se hur natten blir, och morgonen....Men jag hoppas i alla fall att hans mun ska må bra i morgon. Annars blir det väl doktorn igen på måndag morgon....Vi är stammisar där nu....

Nä nu ska jag nog ta och se om jag hittar sängen så att jag får sova lite i natt i alla fall..tyvärr blir det inga bilder denna gång.
Ha det gott alla läsare!
Kram

Big boy = big bed.....

We have now taken one of the sides of Aron's crib. He is a big boy now and he needs a big bed....
I didn't know it was going to be that hard though....he gets up all the time. But here he actually managed to fall asleep!! Otherwise we have turned the bed toward the wall to make him understand not to get up...I hope it'll work.... =)


Chuck E Cheese's and fun in the park!!

The new year has only started but we have had time for some fun anyway! We went to Chuck E Cheese's with Aron yesterday! He had great fun! It is a place where you can eat and play. They have all kinds of games and rides as well as a "tube system" to climb in and a slide to go on! You buy tokens and each thing cost you one token. A lot of the games gives you tickets when you play and those tickets you can exchange for a toy. Here is Aron in the middle of the fun!





And today we enjoyed some fun in the park! It seems like others had the same thought because it was packed in the park...The weather was great, we had around 25 degrees celcius and the sun was shining!! It couldn't be better!! Tomorrow however they say it is going to be -2 degrees celcius...once again...Oklahoma weather...


Going on the big slide!!


Having fun with the ball!!


On our way to the car


Getting all dizzy....at least I did!! =)
