Big boys...

 Damien has lost his first tooth. It had been super loose for a couple of days and we had talked a lot about what would happen after he loose it. He had a little box he wanted to put it in and he was excited for the tooth fairy to come at night.

On Thursday Damien helped me making dinner and he was shredding some cheese. He took a chunk and ate it and the tooth must of come out without him noticing and he accedently swallowed it.. 

He was so excited about loosing the tooth. One thing he said was: " Mommy, I'm gonna be the coolest kid in my class now, cause I'm only 4 years old and the first one to loose a tooth".

Damien drew a nice picture and wrote a letter to the tooth fairy and was so excited in the morning when he saw that she had been there and left him a letter and some money.

Damien's letter to the tooth fairy: "Dear tooth fairy, Here is a picture for you. I ate my tooth with the cheese. I like you. The end! From Damien"

Damien's picture to the tooth fairy. He wrote by him self: Tandfen tog min tand. (Tooth fairy took my tooth)

About a week ago the kids had a new cousin. Mattias and Marie had a baby girl that they named Maja. What a sweet little baby, she is so adorable! 

Yesterday we were gonna see them and Liam decided that he wanted to give all his pacifiers to Maja. We wrapped them up and he proudly gave them to her. We were a little worried how he was gonna do without them but it has been surprisingly good. He asked about them a couple of times today so we reminded him that he gave them to Maja and he seemed to except that. 

Our little boys are growing up so fast now <3

Feeding tube

We are in the process to get Alicia started on a ketogenic diet that is an alternative treatment for kids with epilepsy. 

At the moment Alicia has daily seizures and we fell very positive to try this diet and hopefully she won't need any additional medicines.

The first step to get started was that Alicia needed to get a feeding tube operated to her stomach. The diet is very strict and everything she will eat and drink needs to be measured. If you have a tube it's a lot easier to regulate her meals.

This Monday we signed in to the hospital and in the afternoon Alicia had surgery. It's a keyhole surgery to reduce the pain for the patient. I got to go with Alicia in to the surgery room and I stayed there until she feel asleep. It was really hard to leave her but two hours later we got to see her again and we were there when she woke up. 

The surgery went as it should and Alicia is recovering well. We stayed at the hospital for two nights and yesterday we got to go home.

Alicia has been doing really well through this and has hardly been complaining at all. Our sweet, brave little princess!!!

November break

Last week was November break and we had a great week together filled with fun activities.

Pumpkin carving was one of the activities. Damien wanted a Teenage mutant ninja turtle and Liam wanted a Peppa pig pumpkin. Daddy and I was pretty proud over the results!!

Sunday morning pancakes with the boys.

A lot of playing both inside and outside. Legos, tools, superheroes,trains, playgrounds, swinging, Leo's lekland, a visit to TGIF, the library and so on. It felt like the boys got a new connection with Alicia this week. They anted to play with her, help her, show her toys, sing to her and so on. Damien has been were helpful lately, he sits with her if I need to do something so she doesn't need to be alone,helps her with the iPad and so many other things. He is being a really good brother to her, they both are!!

We made one trip to Skånes djurpark. This was probably the first time we were there and it didn't rain... We had a great afternoon together and enjoyed looking at all the animals.

Damien and I got one afternoon to ourselves. We had a good lunch together and then we went to the movies and saw Airplane 2. 

We had a great time together and are looking forward to the Christmas break now!!
