Every tuesday and thursday afternoon Sanders grandmother, Monica, picks him up from preschool since both me and Erika work late. As Monica and Sander get to spend a lot of time together they also get to play with each other a lot. One game they have played a lot recently is to draw faces on Sanders index fingers. When Sanders has the "guys" as he calls them on his index fingers he hides them away or makes them talk and kiss each other. It is really cute.

Sander really likes the "guys" on his index fingers and when they have rubbed off he always asks "-where are the guys, grandma?"

In this picture Sander is singing and doing the moves to the swedish children song "Var är pekfingret?" translated into english it would be "Where is the index finger?" and it goes something like this...

"Where is the index finger? Where is the index finger?

Here I am... here I am..."

Everytime me or Erika asks Sander to make a funny face this is the first thing he does. Isn't it adorable?!

..and this face is the runner up! I look like hell in all these pictures, but Sander is cute as always so please pay more attention to him, ok?

At this point both me and Sander where laughing too much to make this funny face work...

Sander didn't really know how to do this last face - blowing up your cheeks, but still he tries to pull it off!

This last saturday I took Sander to his first ice hockey game ever. Skellefteå AIK were playing Linköping HC and our beloved, Skellefteå AIK, came out victorious. The final score was 4-1. Sander was totally into the game and when the crowd was singing he clapped his hands and sang along with them. At one time when the crowd was silent he actually shouted "Heja AIK" three or four times all by himself so that other fans turned their heads. He is already talking about going to upcoming games.

Uncle Johan followed us to the game and he helped out holding Sander so that he could get a better view of the action on the ice. But in this picture it kind of looks like Sander is more interested in something other than hockey. I can't imagine what it could be...

A nice picture of me and Sander in the stands waiting for the second period to start. Sander was really excited and he was really impressed with the big crowdand all the players. The only time when he was a bit uncomfortable was when Anders 'Antos' Söderberg (Sanders favourite player btw) scored and the whole crowd went bananas. Sander wasn't ready for this and the massive cheers just about scared him out of his wits. But I said something funny so that he started to laugh instead.

Like I said earlier Sander really enjoyed the game and all the hockey players, but honestly I think one of his favourite parts was the popcorn he got from Rose and Daniel. :D

Sander got his first pair of skates today and he couldn't wait to get home from ICA Maxi and try them on! Remember this day!


Sanders stick was outside and since he already had his skates on we didn't have time to go get it. But his gloves was inside and Sander really wanted to have them on. As you can see Sander already has his mind set on playing for Skellefteå AIK.




I don't really know what Sander is doing on this picture but I guess he tries to skate or something...

I don't really know how to say this, but isn't fall a pretty sweet time of year after all? I mean, we can't deny all the fantastic colors displayed outside...

Sander had a blast throwing leaves around and I took some pictures of him doing this. So enjoy...

Yeah! Leaves are flying all over daddy! Look! I'm throwing them in the air!

In the background you can see our terrace house. Pretty neat, huh?

Sander had a fever last week and since both Mikke and Erika had important meetings to attend at work Sanders grandmother Anne came and took care of him. Anne learned Sander a trick forming orange peel into monster teeth. The only problem was for Sander to keep the teeth in his mouth...

This is what he looked like when he (finally) got his monster teeth to stay in his mouth! Doesn't he look scary? Wohahahahaha...
