We’re on the other side of two. Incredible. M. enjoyed his birthday party so much – playing with his cousin, blowing out the candles on his cake (twice!) and opening gifts like he’d been practising it (well… Christmas?). We enjoyed it too – and most of all we enjoyed his actual birthday which we spent at home, all three of us – playing with legos and the new tricycle and eating pancakes and lasagna.
We have a lot of snow, by the way. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this much snow in Denmark, and I’ve lived here for more than ten years now. Yesterday M and I played in the snow and it was like time travel; I went straight back to my own childhood. Lying in a snowdrift. I’d forgotten how good it feels.
I’m also on the other side of last week. I have to recommend doing courageous things. It does wonders for the confidence. Almost like swimming in an 11-degree (Celsius) Arctic ocean (not that that’s what I did last week, it’s a few years back). My photos are still in the camera, but instead I’ll leave you with a link to the best pancakes ever – and the oatmeal makes them more like food. So good. Thank you Orangette – they’re our staple pancakes now! I didn’t have any buttermilk and made them with half yoghurt and half milk instead, and that was fine. Seriously, try them. They’re easy to make, too.
