CIRCUS BADUTSKI

On the 4th of June, we had a circus performance at our school - Circus Badutski. There were clowns, acrobats, dogs, wizards, line dancers etc. I was an acrobat - watch me in action!
Here I have just finished a set of somersaults.
Here we go again...
We were all wearing a white t-shirt with the Nordic school logo on the front and the Circus Badutski logo on the back.
Both mum and dad were there watching our circus, and they really enjoyed it! After the circus, there was a BBQ party with all children and parents. Lot's of fun!

WEEKEND ON KIGAMBONI

A few weeks ago, we went to visit grandma (bibi Rose) and granddad (babu Peter) on Kigamboni, across the ferry from Dar es Salaam. They invited us for lunch on the beach at a new, very beautiful place, called Kijiji Resort.
Here is auntie Hilda, uncle Sisty, cousin Jed, Juliana's daughter Joana, dada Anna, bibi Rose, Juliana, Charlotte and I. We had very nice BBQ fish, chicken and chips!
Here, mum is also in the picture.

I played with Jed the whole day!
Here is bibi with my little cousin Jef, trying to make him sleep in his pushchair but he was too excited to sleep - many new things to look at!
Charlotte, singing loudly to Juliana and bibi.

MY BIRTHDAY PARTY!

I turned 3 years old on the 28th of April and we had a big birthday party on the Nordic school compound with all my friends and their parents. I had been waiting for a good occation to wear my tie to look like president Obama and today was the day!
Here is Charlotte, mum and I, just before the party begun. It was raining a lot but we were lucky because when the first guests started to arrive, the rain stopped.
One, two, three candles! I blew them all out and made a wish ( I'm not telling, it's a secret...).
Here is my litte sister Charlotte with auntie Emily who is mum's friend. Charlotte missed most of the party because she was sleeping.
Finally Charlotte woke up. Here she is with dada Maria.
My cousin Jed came to the party with his baby brother Jef, two months old.
Here is dada Juliana with cousin Jef.
Party time! Soda and cinnamon twist - yummie!
I got so many birthday presents! My friend Joana helped me to unwrap some of them, but the rest had to wait until next day.
There was a jumping castle at my birthday party - so much fun!
Here I am showing my new green motorbike to my friends Joana, Malaika, Matteo, Ayla and Tariq.
When the party was almost over, it was time for the "fishing pond". You go fishing and if you are lucky, you catch a goodiebag!

EASTER HOLIDAY

We celebrated Easter in Sweden this year. We ALL got the flu (me, Charlotte, mum, grandma, granddad, Theo, Maja, Danne and Jessica...) but it was nice to see family and friends again and since everybody had the flu, it didn't really matter...
It has become tradition that my friend Moses comes to visit me at Arlanda airport when we are on transit. We watch airplanes and eat at McDonalds and have lots of fun! Like me, Moses is now a big brother so soon his baby brother Stig Munga will also spot airplanes together with my little sister Charlotte.
I had been missing my cousin Theo a lot so we played almost everyday. Here we are checking out our new Rory cars which we got from grandma and granddad because it was very close to my birthday.
Another birthday present was this police uniform pyjama. Here I am sitting with granddad who had put the present parcel on his head!
Here is my little sister Charlotte with our cousin Maja, both eight months. Here they are practicing how to sit without support.
A Swedish Easter tradition is to dress up as Easter witches and give away Easter cards to the neighbours. In return, the Easter witches get sweets!
One day we went to the mountains and had lunch in the Sami cottage by Ann-Sofie's and Kalle's winter cottage. Åsa ("Mama B") came along and many of mum's cousins were also there. In this picture you can see Charlotte, mum and Åsa.
There was a lot of snow. The first few days I hesitated to go out though because I had to wear so many bulky clothes. But after a while I started to love the snow, especially when my cousin Theo and I could go out and play together!
This day it was snowing a lot. I could even catch snowflakes with my tongue!
One of my favourite winter activities is to go on a snow-racer.
It is also fun to ski. Here granddad is teaching me how to ski for the first time.
Another day, we went to grandma's and granddad's cottage. Here grandma is sitting with Charlotte on the veranda.
