Today was a very nice day outside. Well, it was sunny and you could see blue sky but it was a lot colder than it looked. I saw the temp was warmer than it felt too so I suspect that the wind had a lot to do with it. The temperature was about 40 degrees but a lot of puddles had ice in them or completed frozen when we left the house in the afternoon. Davin had fun breaking the "glass". It might have been warmer in the evening when we went home from Farmor's but the wind was very cold so it still felt cold even all bundled up. There wasn't any ice that I could see when we were coming home.
Our morning was pretty good all considering. Davin woke up at 5am and I spent the next 30 mins trying to get him to sleep again. He wanted me to change his diaper first so I did but he must have just peed since it leaked all over his covers when I took it off. I cleaned him up and threw the covers in the laundry but then he didn't want to sleep on a naked bed. The only covers left were mine so I brought those into his room. He ended up sleeping with me which was interesting since it is a twin bed and he didn't want to be under the covers with me. Of course, he kept himself awake for at least an hour more ... asking for milk ... wanting his Leapster ... asking for another drink of milk ... etc. Then I had to keep telling him to turn the volume down and to stop hitting/kicking the wall. Fredrik told me that Linnea woke up at 7am and I heard her but was too tired to get up. Davin and I eventually woke up at 10am so I was glad to get a few more hours of rest even if it wasn't very restful.
I am also wondering if we found a cure for his tantrums. It might only work a few more times so we shall have to see. Davin was getting worked up again this morning and so I reminded him of the video I took yesterday that we were going to send to Santa. I told him I can go ahead and let Santa see it if he was going to continue with his meltdown. He stopped and got thoughtful ... then asked to see the video. He watched the whole 10 minutes of it and we could tell he was experiencing it all over again. He didn't cry while he was watching it but he definitely was upset. After that video was over he wanted to watch the other ones on the camera and kind of forgot about his tantrum. He did want us to erase the cranky one where he is in the bathtub but I said no. I was going to keep it just in case he wasn't a good boy and we needed something to send to Santa. If he was good then it would just stay on the camera. That seemed to satisfy him ... for now. ;)
We headed over to Farmor's house in the afternoon around 1pm. Cattis and Erik were heading over to Linkoping to visit their father since it was the only chance they would get to visit before the holiday. So, for once Farmor's house was quiet since there were 4 adults and 1 child less. Again, we had a nice visit with Bjorn and Carro and we hope they will get a chance to come visit us after her surgery. They headed home to Gothenburg since Bjorn had to work the next day and also through the holiday.
Farmor wasn't feeling well today since she seems to have caught the flu bug that Cattis had the night before. I hope she will be able to get some rest tonight. Tomorrow we are planning on going to the big indoor playground again in Linkoping. I am dying to do some shopping so I hope I can sneak away and satisfy my craving.
