Bjorn Borg talossamme / Bjorn Borg in the building

Voi hihitysten hihtys. Olin tikahtua nauruun kun neidit tulivat hiustenlaittoreissulta kylpyhuoneesta. Isompi oli stailannut pienemman. Ilmetty Bjorn Borg! Kiharat ja kaikki! :D Hymyilytti viela pitkan pitkan aikaa sen jalkeenkin kun panta oli havinnyt pikkuisen paasta.
Sain ystavaltani kauniin orkidean lahjaksi ystavanpaivana. Toivottavasti osaan hoitaa sita. Olen onnistunut nimittain aikaisemmin kuolettamaan kaksi orkideaa, enka ole uskaltanut ostaa sen jalkeen uutta. Toivon siis etta parjaan taman kanssa paremmin.
Lukeminen on sitten ihanaa. Vanhempi tytoista on todella saanut hienosti kiinni englanninkielen lukemisesta. Han istuu monesti sakkituolissaan ja lukee aaneen joko minulle tai pikkusiskolleen. Nyt on pikkuneiti ihan selvasti samoilla jalanjaljilla. Han istahtaa valilla sakkituoliin valittuaan ensin muutaman kirjan mukaan. Sitten han lukee. Aaneen. Hirmuista polotysta. Valilla kuuluu "miau" (kissan kuva kirjassa) tai "bum bum" (koittaa matkia auton aanta: brum brum). Olen tavattoman iloinen siita etta toinen on loytamassa sen uskomattoman hienon maailman, jonka lukutaito avaa ja etta toinen matkii isosiskon perassa ja toivottavasti loytaa aikanaan sen samanlaisen innostuksen kirjoihin ja lukemiseen.
Ruoaksi tanaan oli tarjolla kasvissosekeittoa. Meilla siita tykataan kovasti. Kaikken parasta siina on etta sekaan voi heittaa kaikia mahdollisia kasviksia jaakaapista. Tilkkanen kermaa ja mausteet saavat keitosta aina hiukan erilaisen mutta ihan aina yhta hyvan.

Oh giggle of giggles. I almost choked in laughter when our girls came from the bathroom after a hair styling session. The bigger one had styled the little one. She looked like Bjorn Borg! Curls and everything! :D I was smiling long after the head band had disappeared from her head.
I received a beautiful orchid from my friend for Valentine's day. I hope I can keep it alive. Previously I've succeeded in killing two orchids despite my best efforts in keeping them alive and thus have been afraid to buy another. So, I'm hoping that I manage better with this one.
Reading is such a wonderful thing. Our older girl has really gotten a good grasp of reading English. She sits down frequently in her bean bag and reads out loud either to me or to her little sister. Now the little one has grasped the same idea and does the same. She goes and picks few books, sits in the bean bag and starts reading. Out loud. The babbling is so endearing. Once in a while I hear a "miau" for a cat or "bum bum" in effort trying to imitate the car noise brum brum. I'm extremely happy that one is on the verge of finding the vast, incredibly wonderful world that literacy will open to her and one imitating her big sister and hopefully eventually when it's her time, to find the enthusiasm towards books and reading.
For dinner I made some pureed vegetable soup. We all like it a lot. The best part is that I can throw in what ever vegetables I have on hand. A splash of cream and spices make it a bit different each time but still just as good.
