Almost Walking

Since a few weeks Miko is really practicing her walking skills. Chairs are moving all over the living room. On some occasions, in between things, we even caught her standing all by herself for a few seconds. She started climbing the stepladder (keukentrapje). I can still remember Wessel telling me some years ago that you have to keep them immobile for as long as possible, just for convenience. Can you imagine that until about 6 months, they stay put, perhaps move from back to belly, but on the same location.

Snow

Fortunatly sleds were still available at the Blokker. Tarek is enthusiastic! But soon he wants to go home, too cold, which is kind of ok because I am getting cold as well. It is -10.5.

on operated on

Almost three years ago Tarek got a cudley elephant. It became Tareks favorite object, by far. No sleep or comfort without the “on”. Since a while it shows wear and tear marks. Oma is a wonder doctor though.

DIY

I’m not sure yet if it was worth two (yes, 2) trips to Ikea but Tarek seems pleased. So does Miko, the chairs picured provide good walking practice assistance.

Ouwehands zoo

Grandparents treated us to a one year subscription to ouwehands. It is a 25 minute drive, but eorth it. I saw my first live european wolve and learned that saddle billed storks are a lot bigger than they appear in flight. Lots of playing opportunities kitti, also inside. No healthy lunch available though.

And again…

Miko has to go see the doctor. The ortho-optician, if I remember the name correctly. Her eyes had to be measured because in October her pupils didn’t respond as they’re supposed to. So far so good, one more check follows and then she can go home where Tarek, opa and oma are waiting ti take her to the zoo. But before that some more waiting time a.k.a. play time.

Again I was most fortunate with the weather. Miko thought it was a bit chilly. Tarek was very fond of the ice.

Boom boom boom boom

Maya slipped walking down the stairs. As she was holding me, we both fell down. She managed to catch me right before I hit the ground. Now I have a bump on my head that matches with my dress.
