Otso : 4 years, 7 months

Summary
Not a huge change between this month and the last month.

Learning/Development
He doesn't know how to be angry without yelling or hitting these days. 

Language
Not much new here; Finnish still much stronger than English.
He doesn't seem to remember Norwegian at all. 

Toys/Games/Other
Now that the weather is warmer, he is more active. At home, his favorite thing is either sähly in the basement or Legos in the living room. He also still quite likes board games and card games. 
He likes to bike to and from päiväkoti.

Social
He enjoyed playing with Clemence. He thought "Baby Marie" was cute but kind of difficult.
He had fun with the next door neighbor's kid when we were planting the hedge. His friends at päiväkoti: Samppa, Tarmo, Eeli, Salli.

Health (eating, sleeping, etc)
He is having a terrible time going to bed lately. He often stays up quite late begging for us to stay with him. Then he gets up early in the morning and wants us to spend time with him.

6.5: he took a sauna with us! Normally he panics and leaves after a second or two, but this time he stayed and played with the water for long enough to sweat. 
12.5 he came in to the sauna in Nakkila, and then Lumi threw cold water on his belly and he left and refused to come back.

Events
21.4 spring open door event at päiväkoti
27.4 - 1.5 the DuPuis family visit!
1.5 vappu
5.5 grilling with the neighbors
10-13.5 - nakkila!
15.5 lumi's last jumppa -- family fun
17.5 big field trip with the whole daycare to a farm

Random
I told him that in the USA kids go to school on yellow school bus and he said "cool! I want to go on a golden school bus!"

  1. Good luck with the anger and the sleeping - those can be so frustrating for parents and sisters!! We'll give him lots of English in America!!!
