Summary
It has been a good month, with small improvements in general life skills. We had a fun trip to Scotland with Grandpa and Mama Dollie.
It has been a good month, with small improvements in general life skills. We had a fun trip to Scotland with Grandpa and Mama Dollie.
The biggest issue has been the barnehage dropoff and we had almost 2 weeks of tantrums where she ended up having to be held in the classroom by a teacher.

Developments are more subtle these days. She is increasingly comfortable with all 3 languages, and is starting to play with words to get dramatic effect (e.g. announcing "I'm going to the store on something called ... a bike!").
19.5 with zero prompting, she cleared her own plate at breakfast and brought it to the kitchen
She is also getting better at the little things around the house. Getting dressed has been a difficult thing for a couple years now and she still has some problems and wants attention while doing it, but lately she can do more and then for example when we asked her to show Gemma she did it all very easily and even explained her steps.
The barnehage drop off is still difficult, and we are working on that. The last week in May was especially hard with tears every day.
Grandpa and Mama Dollie brought her a set of Paris - themed reusable stickers. She and grandpa played for hours with them, acting out scenes. Also SAS airlines gave us a reusable sticker book with an airport scene.
She liked watching the little kids channel in Scotland ("CBeebies"). And now we're back and she's on a Doc McStuffins kick.
At Hundvåg playgroup, we played "popcorn" with the big parachute and all the kids *loved* it.
She still isn't great at eating the protein at dinner but some nights she surprises us all. She uses a sippy cup in the morning with juice but is transitioning slowly to using a regular plastic cup.
Lately she enjoys pretending whatever she's drinking (mostly water) is a smoothie.
Health
7.5 last gymnastics! it was marked by a fall off the balance beam onto the one area not padded. She smacked her face on the gym floor.
Stats
size: 104 (4T) in most clothes (though some 4T shorts slide off her hips). Any new purchases are in size 110 (5T). 27 shoe (though this varies widely by brand).
height: 103 cm on 20.4
weight: 15.1 kg on 23.3
Random
10.5 she proposed that we call the remote the "TV maker"
15.5 in Aberdeen after we got through security we passed through the duty free shop. we passed a whisky tasting booth and before we even knew what was happening lumi had grabbed a tasting cup. we stopped her before she actually drank it.
16.5 tantrum when she refused to say "i'm sorry"; she also lied and said that Isä threw it.
16.5 [when she was about to try on a pair of äiti's shoes] "i'm going to be a grandmother!" (note: i am getting rid of those shoes.)
23.5 she had a tantrum when äiti went to the grocery store ; it culminated in screaming outside in her pajamas with bare feet.

She escaped a couple bad colds (one from Otso, one from Äiti) this month.

10.5 she proposed that we call the remote the "TV maker"
27.5 while explaining how she would grow, she said "first i'm going to be a bigger sister, then a mommy, then a daddy." it seems she thinks that women keep growing until they become fathers.
sometime in May, while going #2: "äiti, we're going to need to clean the toilet when i'm done." (and she was right)
3.6 after äiti said that isä was "on the ball" when he remembered that she needed to pee before she left for barnehage, she said "and it's a big, big ball!"
