Freja and Ludvig

The whining and drooling continued today as Pipski suffered under the pain of her emerging teeth. Finally Mette went down to the chemist and picked up a medicine called Dolodent that numbs the gums. She tried on her tongue first and sure enough it works. I wondered what would happen if I rinsed my mouth out with it…? Better not try that… it’s a small bottle anyway and there wouldn’t be any left for the Pip.

Actually Pip had quite a busy day. Mette had an appointment with a friend early on so Pipski and I played on the floor. She is finally starting to curb her destructive tendencies and now tries to stack bricks as well as knocking them down. I was impressed at her self-control actually, though not with her coordination. She would pause, consider, move her whole arm with a jerk, pause again, brick in hand and then crash, the whole lot would come down as she tried to put the top brick on the pile. She still has big problems with letting go of stuff, though I’ve noted she is become extremely adept with her pacifier. Aye well… all good things to those who wait.

After Mette came home again, the girls went out and about and apparently Pip sang and chortled the whole time. When they got back we all went out onto the roof top terrace and played in the sun. I was so taken up with pushing a plastic car around that I poured my coffee all over my lap.
Towards evening Thunderpants decided to liven up proceedings and began to bop and bounce about. Granted she still needs to hold onto something to maintain her balance, but she is almost on the verge of being able to jump! Naturally this meant getting her to fall asleep was quite difficult and I actually fell asleep twice whilst trying to get her to settle down!

It’s been a great day and right now I’m listening to Beethoven’s fifth symphony. My Dad reckons this is the finest piece of music ever written, and although I love it also, I have to disagree. Beethoven’s Ninth is clearly superior to all other music ever yet composed.




Når… nu skal jeg prove at oversat alt det! Jeg håber i ikke griner af mit dårligt Dansk. Grundet til det er så dårligt er nok fordi jeg har aldrig haft brug for det.

Pipsen’s gnotten pyleri forsat i dag da hendes tænder volder stadig en del smerter. Til sidst var moifen ned og hent en lille flask af Dolodent som gør at man kan ikke mærk tankødet. Alison har brugte det før i tiden men var ikke just begejstret så Metter prøvet det på sig selv og kunne meddel at det virrkede i hvertfald på hende.

Faktisk har Pipski haft en ret så travlt dag i dag, Mette havde en aftale med en veninde (og fandt ud af endnu en veninde er på til at stifte familie!) så Pip og jeg sad på gulvet, så fjernsyn og byggede tårne for det mest af morgen. Freja er endeligt begyndte at byg i stedet for kun at ødlægge men hun er ikke særlig god til det endnu. Jeg er ret imponerede over hendes selv-kontrol men ikke med hendes koordinations evne. Hun er meget forsigtig nå hun prøver at læg en brik oven på en anden, men hun har stor besvær med at slippe ting så hun ødlæg alt hvad vi startede på. Det kun en spørsmål om tid. Jeg er så stolt af hende. Hun har været så ’levende’ i dag. Helt op at køre med mange smil og latter og lej.

Efter Mette kom hjemvar pigerne ud i byen og Freja var i hendes es. Hun sad i barnevogn og sang og skreg med glæde af alt ting så folk kunne ikke lad være med at bemærk hende i hendes bobbel-hat med blomst.
Da de var vendt hjemme igen var vi alle tre ud på terracen hvor i mit iver kom jeg til at vælte mit kaffe på mit skod!
Hen mod aften blev Freja endnu mere livlig og hun begyndte at hop op og ned. Det er lige før hun kan let men båd Mette og jeg kun se at hun var næsten på samme sted i udvikling som Josefina (Rikke og Lars’s datter) den gang de sidts var på besøge. Det var meget svært at for hend til at fald til ro igen bagefter og jeg faldt i sovn to gang mens jeg prøvede at for hende til at sov.

Sikken en dejlig dag det har været!

Lige nu runder jeg dagen af med Beethoven’s femte symphoni. Min Far syntes af dette er det bedst stykke musik der er nogensiden lavet, men jeg er uenig. Selv om jeg elseker den femte, syntes jeg at Beethovens symphoni Nr 9 er langt bedre.

Den er sandelig det smukkeste stykke musik jeg kender!

Hey moif. Sounds like Pipski is thriving. I enjoy seeing the pics of her. Oh, those cheeks! Can you ever stop kissing them?

#3 is having teething troubles at the moment too. Problem is, he's cutting a molar out the side of his head! I suppose that's a bit of an exaggeration, it's actually out the side of his gums, above his other molar. I can't quite figure out what tooth it is though, because he already has his 12 year old molars, and 13 is too young for wisdom teeth.

Ouch! That sounds painful!

What does one do in such a situation? Is it a matter for the dentist?

As for the cheeks, well, they get 'nussed', on the hour, every hour.

He is seeing the dentist next week. I'm not sure what he'll do. I'm sure it will be expensive though.
