Time goes by fast. Today it is 8 years ago, since the big girl was born. It is her birthday today. It is 8 years ago when I was at the hospital trying to do my best. It all ended in an acute caesarean section and all the crazy things around such a happening. Today she is a big girl with her own mind and thoughts about things. We have planned a birthday party for next weekend when we even celebrate the younger one (her birthday is on 5th March). The inviting cards are sent out and we have started to plan what kind of party we want to have. Today we will celebrate together with the family.

I asked her this morning what she liked the most about her 8 year life and what she would love to do the coming 888 years. She thought for a while and then she said:

- The Zoo, grandmother, to swim, Paddington* and ofcourse Calmar.

Then we hugged for a while and remembered all the good things that has been and all the good things that will come!

Happy Birthday!
wishes mother Niina

*Paddington is a little Toys Store in Calmar. And I took the photo of our daughter at an indoors playground. The blue is a slide to a sea off  colourful balls. Niinuska is my nick name - my brother calls me that.
