Faire les 100 pas (walking 100 steps)

A few days earlier I realized that I had walked more than 10 000 steps in the day. For someone who barely leaves the house, that is quite an achievement. Looking closer at my monthly tracking (thanks to the watch), it showed that I have a monthly average of 8752 steps per day.
Again this feels incredible given I am mostly home. This said I do walk a lot within the house with Thomas when I try to get him to sleep or just stop crying. Apparently all those steps are adding up quite nicely.

Now I understand why my feet hurt at the end of the day. Maybe I should wear my sport shoes :)

Life is cool at 7 weeks

Wildlife in the condo

For several days Oskar has been talking about an "orange geiko". 

Today he showed me the beast.

Quite impressive creature I have to say.

Ps: not sure it is a geiko or some sort of lizard but it's entertaining Oskar. 

Why don't they get it?

When you are tired, you sleep to get your energy back. It's simple logic that somehow babies and toddler seem not to get.

Why is it that they cry and get angry when they are tired when all they need is a bit of sleep.

Yes, it's Sunday afternoon and for the second day in a row, neither Oskar nor Thomas are willing to take their nap. 

At least Oskar is not crying anymore...

Can't wait until they outgrow this phase. 

The jungle is back!

And it is a bit tight for two :)

Nutella

Thomas didn't want to sleep tonight so I spent nearly two hours pacing in the bedroom trying to keep him quiet with more or less success. I managed to get him to sleep four times but never deep enough so he would stay asleep in the bed. By the time Wolfram was done with his night call, I was more than ready to pass the ball.

Once I got everything done and was ready for dinner, it was 22:15 and I was not in the mood for the pasta prepared by Agnes and that we're waiting for me in the kitchen. I needed comfort food so I grabbed some bread and open the cabinet to get the Nutella.

At the usual spot there was a Nutella jar with my name on it.

And a note:

It did make me smile and forget for a second that Thomas was still not asleep :)

Thanks Wolfram for this tiny moment of happiness in a long stressful evening.

Now, time for comfort food!

6 weeks already

And Thomas starts to express his creative thinking.
