Instant Presentation!

During the charity event, "halloween fundraiser night", I let my big little girl go with me since she might like the idea of costume party. And I was not mistaken. She loves her cat look! But my problem was she might get bored there or be afraid since it was dark and mostly have scary outfit, well, since it was Halloween. And she knows no one there except my friends who were with me but they did not brought their children, she's the only child in our group.

But then to my surprise! Alas, she get mingled easily with other children upon our arrival, which surely not her type to do , well as far as I know the attitude of my girl. I was wrong. She really find her way so great!

And moreover, together with other children, they had an instant presentation through dancing in front while there was a band group singing. Like they were dancing the tune of the band! Yes, instantly! they never had it practise or planned.

I was happy seeing her grow so much even her social area. Good job "Ate" Laikka:) HUgs and Kisses! I'm so proud of you! /Mama

She can finally call it her own!

She always borrowed my netbook every time she wants to play or watch cartoons movie in the internet. At school, they are given only 10 minutes each student to use iPads or computer and learn by playing educational games in it. And so she'll be hanging with only 10 minutes, she wants more. Thats why she usually borrowed my little computer to play more when she come home.

I promised her that if I got a new computer, an iPad or an apple laptop, I will give it to her so she can call it her own and don't need to ask me if she can borrow it. That is why she was so happy when I got my Macbook Pro. She reminded me about my promise and when we're home, she grab my old netbook and said, "finally you're mine". We laugh but she played until she fall asleep that day! ;)

Got new shoes for rainy season!

Since this girl is already a school girl, she already have lots of needs specially her dress code from head to foot. And that means personal suit code. She already have demands on what kind of shoes and what kind of clothes she have to wear at school. She already feels the peer pressure, like if her friends have new shoes, hello kitty and whatever she should have those too. Its like they will tell each other and would like to show off.

I don't want her to be like what its gonna seems to happen , but I don't want either for her to be behind from others and feel pity for herself. I had my ideals how to brought my children up but its getting hard to implement as I thought.

Last week she mentions to me what she needs to have, and so I told her we gonna buy it on the weekends since I understand that she really needs what she wanted. So last sunday, she reminded us and made us wet shopping. She have what she needs, the rain boots but when we were in the store she found a hello kitty shoes and want it too. Well, she was lucky since the store have a promotion that if we buy 3 we will only pay two. I also bought winter shoes for her little sister so she got the hello kitty shoes for free.

Then on monday when I dropped her in school with the new shoes on her and brought with her her new rain boots, the school needs it there, I can see them showing each other whats new on them. Well, they sounds funny!

Her new style "peace" sign!

It feels so good thinking I already have a young lady. My Angelikka really grown so fast and I'm so proud looking at her acting like a grown up girl.

She's a little fashionista and have great imaginations about who she is and who she can be. Everytime she saw something in TV that attracts her, she tend to copy it:)

She got this new style when taking pictures, a "peace sign". As usual, she poses nicely but this time she gets better and better. She's only 5 years old but she already stands high as my shoulder.

Dear Laikka,
Sometimes,  I know you feel like you are taken behind by mamma because of your little sister . But you are indeed doing so great "anak". You even helping me taking care of her and helping me in our daily chores. I want to tell you that me and your pappa are so proud of you! You are so loved by us as well as your sister. Thank you for being a great daughter to us. God loves you so do I:)

Love, Mamma

A tooth falls off:)

Falling off of baby's teeth could be hard for children and partly for parents since it really can make them looks different. But then here in Sweden, children are told that time will come when they're grown enough they will loose their teeth so new one can take over. And instead of being afraid, children here are excited when that time comes since it will mean that their already grown up.

My big girl was so excited last week when she felt that her teeth was ready to fall off. She told everyone like her teacher in school and classmates and grandma, grandpa, everyone near to her. And the best thing was she was so proud about it! Then today so early in the morning, we were still sleeping, she woke me up and said, "mamma, my tooth fell off already" and she was so happy and proud! Congratulations my baby! You're now certified grown up girl!Way to go!

She got new set of winter pieces!

It's been a while since we were invited by my husband's co-worker to visit them since his wife has something to give to our daughter Laikka. But we were not able to come since we already have lots of schedules and we had no time! Until last saturday after the party of Camilla, Shy's daughter, we headed directly to their house (my husband's co-workers house). And it was really just right in time because Angelikka recieves a knitted sets of winter stuff; mossa for the head, gloves for the hands and styled socks for the feet!

It's almost spring, good that we went there before summer, otherwise it couldn't be used. It fits perfectly on her . It even fitted to her dress that day from the party. These sets are special since those are personaly knitted by my husband's friend's mother. These were made for their only daughter which is a young lady now so they thought Laikka could have it!
Doesn't she look pretty on them? :)

Angel Faith!

My children's cousin Angel faith had her 6th birthday last month February 10 to be exact. And due to my busy schedule and had no time blogging, I was not able to post her birthday celebration! She is our first angel in the family that gave my parent's gladness and glory! I love her dearly.

She's quite big now and growing smart and pretty. We were so blessed having her to our "Mahusay" family.

We were not there but I know she was so happy and many children were happy celebrating with her on her special day! Again Happy Birthday Angel Faith! May the Lord will continue keep an eye on you as you grow with Him as your God! Continue to give your parent's pride for being smart and wonderful kid! All our love, also from your cousins here Laikka and Erika! Godbless!

The Manequin?

One day when we visited a clothing store, Angelikka gave me a good laugh when she told me to take a picture with her because she can what they can. She meant those manequins! And she pose there like she's one of them! She even said; "I'm the young girl version mama". Never in my mind that she would think about that, I mean to copy the manequins.

She really have plenty of imaginations these days. If she watch on television with girls dancing in the snow, she also will try to copy them and say; I would like to do like that when I grow up! Hmm.. maybe she really like to be an artist someday! Godbless you my child! Hehehe, scary though:)

Laikka and the Snow!

She was so happy that saturday when prior to that day, she just stayed home since she was sick with cough and colds. She already felt better the day before and I promised her that we will go out the next day so she can have fresh air! She was already so happy but the happiness got more because of the snow keep falling down! She can't wait to go out!

 

She tried to do a large snow ball but it was not easy. Finally, she was happy with her small snow man anyway. She really enjoyed that day, a day with the snow! Connecting this to Pink Friday!

My Swedish Girl!

She looks really more swedish than asian even from birth. And I've heared much already and become used to it when people comments that she's so swedish. I'm a proud mom anyway.

Now as she grow older, though her hair became more darker  than before, still she's my swedish girl. And perfectly enough when we recieved the swedish national costume and when she tried it on her, I was speechless! She's simply so cute and looks really pretty on it! It fits exactly on her now so by June on Swedish National Day, this dress would no longer fit her. So I'm planning to let my mother sew a little more bigger. Hopefully she can visit us here  before summer!

Love you my child!
