Pretty mummy

George decided to come into the bathroom with me this morning, he wanted to have a bath whilst I had a shower. After I was done, I did my hair, my make-up and went to put clothes on. When I returned, George looked up and said 'Fin mamma' (Pretty mummy). Aaah, what a nice start to the day!

We have a 2 year old!

Little George Melton is already 2 years old! Where did time go? Have been so busy lately with the house and work, can't wait for Christmas when we'll be able to wind down a little and spend lots of time together!

Anyways, think G-man had a great birthday! A muffin for breakfast, a drill, some play-dough, a little Roary car, new shoes, new top, new T-shirt... And after the midday nap, it started allover again! Monster truck and trailer from mormor and Bestefar, Brio train track from Petra and a pedal tractor from morfar and Eva. Little mr G was in heaven! And if that wasn't all, he had auntie Jo and Laura and farmor Christine and great grandma Doris on skype video! And dad had made the coolest Roary the racing car cake ever (George gave a helping hand as you can see)!

G was very tired in the evening haha...

Oh, and as a little weekly update I can let you all know that he's mimicking absolutely everything we say! Hilarous to some extent, frustrating in others... This morning he said 'Sluta mamma' (Stop mummy), after I had told him to stop making noises in the back of the car haha! He's actually surprising us everyday now with new words! Sentences are mostly 3-4 words long and he knows to speak to me in Swedish and Matt in English, even though his English vocabulary isn't as big yet.

Findings!

Went through my phone, which has been playing up lately, and found all of these lovely pics!

new dagis!

Georgie boy started a new dagis last Thursday. It went so well! He loved it! He was a little shy and kept a little in the background when all the kids where gathered, but took up plenty of space playing with the trucks, tractors and cars...

Refused to sleep the first day, was too busy playing, but on Friday, I left him when they had lunch and went to sit in the staff room whilst they ate and then slept. He went to sleep in an instant! Great! And I also had a great time, stuffing my face with cakes that the parents had baked for the previous day's communal cleaning afternoon...

Matt took care of the Monday, which also went brilliantly, and today, Tuesday, was his first day there on his own. He cried a little when Matt left him, but when he picked him up this morning, the staff told Matt he'd been good all day, so he seems to like it there!

Pics show when they queue up for lunch, so sweet! And G's dip into the car box!

UnderBARA BARN Fair 2009

Proudly presenting the For George space at the UnderBARA BARN (wonderful children) fair last weekend! Mum was a star and helped me get ready, calmed my stressed out nerves, and came with some brilliant suggestions, such as the carpet dressed table... very nice touch!

The space looked sooo much better than most others. I'm biased but also very self critical, and some stands looked really crap!

I got so much praise for my designs and will get some good coverage in some really good magazines, very excited about that! Networked with other trades people, which will hopefully lead to me selling my stuff in their stores, and one girl is looking into introducing a new high chair for children and possibly want me to design the pattern for the fabric for it! And lots more...

Laura's lovely quilts also got lots of praise and she got her first Swedish order, by a very nice girl who I'm sure will love her special quilt.

Big up also to bestest Petra and Thessan for helping me on Saturday and Sunday. Thank you so much for all your hard work!

Looking back at it now, I'm really really pleased with the outcome of it all. I feel very proud, almost made the money back (80% of it, good for being a first show), and have even had half a dozen new orders since Sunday! Hurraaaa For George!
