Summary
She's 5 years old! It feels like such a long time since we've had her, but in other ways it has flown by. I feel so lucky that she is my daughter. She is clever and witty and loving.

Language
She still isn't happy about watching videos in Norwegian language. We asked her teacher to keep an eye out for her language capabilities.

She continues to be really interested in stars. I have been looking for a "star wheel" for her.
On 10.1 in the locker room at swim class she asked a lot about body hair and breasts.
10.1 did some beautiful dives at swim class, though she is back to being skittish about the teacher
17.1 swim class was worse. not sure what we're going to do

Nothing to report.

Health
The 15.1 check up at the helsestasjon was miserable for everyone involved. Lumi was difficult and refused to do many things, including an eye test, which is the least invasive thing you have to do. The doctor tried to convince her for 20 minutes and built up a queue behind us. I was angry, Lumi was upset, and even the doctor was pissed. Then Lumi went to the nurse (whom she had seen before so was less intimidating) and was also a jerk there for awhile, but after 15 minutes started acting semi-cooperative.
19.1 vomited in the morning several times; stayed home
20.1 stayed home again just to be sure
27.1 came home feverish
28.1 stayed home with a fever
29.1 miserable and feverish all day.

8.1 looking for her sock : "where is that cheeky little sock?"

13.1 she (correctly) took the blame for something and then did an over-exaggerated exasperated "luuu-mi!" like we always do it.
15.1 about the statue of the fat woman in Solli "We would be in our yard the whole time if we had that kind of thing in our yard!"
27.1 lumi complained that one leg was very tired. and since the party line is that you have to eat to give your body energy, kimmo reminded her of this. she had eaten a big lunch so she sadly said "i did! but it all went in the other leg!"
30.1 " when I am a grown-up, I can visit you and isä! I just have to call you guys first to see what land you are in . " (land=country in norwegian)
