So much has been going on and didn't feel like writing; renovation in the bed-rooms, living-room crammed with stuff, lots of after school hobbies for Andrei (if it's Monday it's music, if It's Tuesday it's kokki-kerho and kotava-kerho, if it's Friday it's art school and if it's Saturday it's swimming school), trying to keep balance with Andrei's school work, after school activities, my own work, renovation, the shop and keeping the house afloat.
Recently rediscovered the joys of music and it's help with concentrating on boring tasks (have been listening obsessively to Pink Floyd).
Both kids get more and more interested in clothes and I'm happy about it (shouldn't I be?). Ana wants to wear dresses now so this moment I've been half looking forward to has arrived. She has been wearing almost only hand-me-downs from three boys, but it seems this is going to change now. I've bought 3 new dresses for her this week (it's sale's season that's how I could).
She is getting lovelier every day, growing and learning and being simply adorable (when she doesn't have tantrums that is). Andrei is on his way of being a teenager soon. He is into cool clothes (but still believes in Santa) and I try to remember to give him a break. Not to tell him all the time what to do and how to do it. Let him make his choices and learn from his mistakes. But it's so hard...
