Summary
Lumi is doing well these days. She seems happy at barnehage, and she is helping a bit more around the house (sometimes after a lot of nagging). She also really makes an effort to help Otso and to play with him.

Language
We think her lack of finnish is simply due to lack of exposure for more complex sentences. She has more nuanced thoughts now and since her English vocabulary is wider, she uses English as a default at home. We are working on this by watching more Finnish-language movies and trying to give her the missing words.

No doubt due to confounding "training wheels" and Peppa Pig's "stabilizers", Lumi calls them "stable wheels". She likes to brag about not needing "stable wheels" on her bicycle.
Learning
We have re-started the letter of the day, and now she practices writing some words that start with the letter.
At the Barne Universitet event, she was really into the space booth. She closely followed the presentation on the planets and enjoyed learning about them. She also liked building 3D structures, and the Bubble Lab. The whole thing was really well done and she really responded to it.

Social
4.4 a couple friends got moved to another sub-group at barnehage. she was sad, but seems okay so far.
Sometimes this month she has been really helpful and kind with Otso. We got to sleep in on a Sunday while they sweetly played together in the living room.

Leisure
She loves hiding and finding games.
Her favorite color is currently blue (yellow has fallen by the wayside).
16.4 we spent our gift certificate at Riktige Leker and Lumi chose a Little Mermaid Lego set. it was labeled "easy" and she seemed to put it together pretty quickly.
23.4 went for a bike ride alongside äiti while äiti jogged. It was a success.

Food
She still isn't great about eating dinner, but there are some meals she likes. Salmon filets cooked in the oven are usually eaten without too much resistance.
Favorites: peanut butter on Ritz crackers, yogurt
