She jumped.....

We went swimming again today.  Well, I'm just watching but the daddy, the little man and the princess did the swimming.  Both kids are now  confident swimmers enough to be in the deep end. Both loves jumping from the diveboards. You've seen the picture  of the little man jumping of the 1 meter. Here's the princess jumping off the 3 meter high divingboard.

He didn't like it for a long time.....

Now he has no fear and can't get enough... Oh, better mention what it's all about, don't I?
It's swimming. When the little man was little and up to the age of 3ish he did not like going swimming. He'd happily play in the bath at home but take him to the swimmingpool and he'd scream the place down.... Suddenly that changed and ever since he has been going often with the daddy. When he started school last year he started swimming every week. It's a totally fearless boy the daddy takes swimming now.

The skating continues

The little man decided he needed a big skateboard now so he spent all his pocket money on one... The princess thought she better get one as well so she spent her pocket money on one too...
The daddy took them to the path behind our garden to introduce the princess to the skating world. It's still unknown to us (and herself I think) why she wanted a skateboard. But maybe she'll go from being a princess to a skater girl soon... who knows? The daddy got to show off a bit of his skater skills whilst teaching his daughter. Think he was well happy that he was better than her as the little man soon, if not already, is better than him...
It only took a few minutes for the little man to get used to the bigger skateboard and then he didn't need the daddy's advice anymore! Now we just need to find out where the closest good skatepark is.

Football boy...

Seems to be all about the little man at the moment...
Well, he still lets me take photos of him playing without complaining so maybe that's why. In between practicing his skating on his little ramp our garden he plays footy. He preferes to be in goal....
Yesterday his friend and him played in the lovely sunshine we have at moment for a long time.

Skater boy!

The little man loves skating and when we were on holiday at Nana and Papas over Easter we went to London one of the days. Alexandra Palace has a nice skatepark and lovely green areas where we could sit and have our picnic.
We met with some good friends and stayed the whole day, the princess playing with their daughter nearly the same age, us adults chatting and the little man skating.
The older boys at the skatepark gave him advice, let him try their skateboards and were just so cool. The little man had a blast and hasn't stopped talking about it...
Here are some photos of my cool little skater boy!

Nurses from all over Europe and me...

I went to Copenhagen this week to speak to a lot of MS Nurses about clinical trials as a patient of MS.

It was cool and everyone was really nice and asked lots of questions. I love that I can make a difference by doing such things - or I hope I'm making a difference...

I also enjoyed the train trip back with my latte and fantastic book.
