Hopscotch

Last night Vera and I went for our usual walk to the school ground and this time we explored a different part of the play ground. We also met our new friend, a black and white cat, and both Vera and the cat are getting braver, less shouting and running away and more stroking. Sweet!

There's a Hopscotch outline on the ground in the playground, so me, re-living my childhood, was happily jumping and trying it out. To Vera's big amusement as there was a big belly laugh from her every time I jumped. I must either be looking very funny, or she's never seen me do it before!

In other news, Vera is going to move to a new room at nursery, to the Roo room, with the bigger children. Apparently most of her friends and contemparies have already transitioned.
After the initial shock that my baby is too big for the baby room, I think it will be really good for her! More outdoor activities, games, reading and learning. The transition will start off by a couple of visits and then joining in more and more. They think it will take around 2-3 weeks, but obviously depends on the individual child.

In clarification to my account of the bed time routine, it's worth saying that all the "let's go to bed Vera" etc , I say in Swedish (as I only speak Swedish to her) and Mark in English and she seems to understand both equally well. The brain is a wonderful thing isn't it!
