New clothes for Lukas!!

Thanks to Lukas' cousins Erik + Hanna, we still don't have to go shopping for Lukas' clothes. Also he receives nice clothing presents from Ragnhild regularly and his Korean aunties. So it is rare that i go shopping for his clothes. The last time i got him something was prior to Christmas and i got him a Norwegian onesie, and felt vest along with some moccasins. That's like almost 5 months ago!

But today i needed to get quite a few specific items. Now that he is going to dagis, we need to leave some xtra clothes/shoes there so we needed a few more for home now. As you can see in the picture it's mostly feet related stuff. The socks he has are on the small side and the rubber sticky stuff has all faded away and not functioning well so i needed a bunch of those. FYI, I bought the socks + short sleeve shirt from HM, more socks from Kappahl, and the awesome dinasaur onesie + robot beanie hat + moccasins from this awesome store called Minishop. And last but not least, the blue striped(of course!!) long sleeve from Polarn och Pyret. I think Mini Rodini is going to be my favorite brand for Lukas now:P 

Enough about shopping tho, it is my last week of being 60% at Kokokaka. From next week i will be working not 3 days, but all 5 days from 8am to 3:30pm. The plan is for Lukas to stay at dagis from 9am to 4pm. He has been staying until 2pm since yesterday. He's been having good and bad days but overall they say he is adjusting well. Sigh... Johan and i am constantly wondering how he is doing at dagis these days...

Here's a box we had to make for Lukas for dagis. Every kid has one which they can look at when they are sad and miss his/her parents. Hekmat(one of the pedagog) says Lukas really likes the box. That makes me happy.. i tried to make it as happy as possible for our feller...

I love the stripe shirt and socks!! I'm obsessed with stripes, I think more than half of Luca's wardrobe have some sort of stripes. IN regards to your job, will you eventually go to a full day week or you will keep it until 3:30? I'm sure LUkas will adjust, just hang in there on those painful first days!!

That box is so awesome! I particularly love all 4 grandparents being featured in both Korean and Swedish! Both languages do have specific names for relatives depending on which parent's family they belong to ... which neither German or English distinguish.

Pao Pao, i think 90% of Lukas' clothes are striped!! As for your question regarding my job, i think i will be 80% for a very long time. No plan to go up to full 100% any time...
So i dropped him off for the first time this morning(Johan is busy these days) and he cried as soon as i set him down from his stroller :( Had to give him his sleeping companion lamb right away. His lamb
is playing a big role these days..

Ninjette, regarding the box. Johan said the pedagogs were really impressed:P I guess it helps that Lukas mamma went to art school! Art school is finally paying off and getting recognition, hee hee!
Yes, i was quite surprised when i learned Swedish had specific distinguished names for different grandparents :)

[ninjette]

Korean doesn't have different terms for the grandparents, but don't you have specific names for uncles and aunts, depending on which side of the family they belong to? Or am i making this up?

At least the Swedish naming system is really easy and intuitive ... almost like babytalk (farfar, mormor, farmor, morfar - right?)

Ninjette, we put 외 in front of 할머니, 할아버지, 삼촌 for mom's side of grandparents + uncle. For the dad's side we put 친 in front of 할머니, 할아버지, 삼촌. For aunties, it's 이모(eemo) for mom's side, then 고모(gomo) for dad's side. Dunno why they don't call auntie 외이모 or 친이모...
Yes, you are right about Swedish naming system :) Doesn't help that our cat's name is momo. When we are out in Marstrand the twins get confused when we say momo :P

Hey Sooki! Hope Lukas adjusts quickly. It will be okay I'm sure. Do you have a spare lamb companion?

I wish... I cut off the tag early on when i got it as a present so i don't know the brand, and then i asked Joanna where she got it for him and i went to the store and it was closed.. I have been looking for that lamb for over a year now. We have a dragon and a rabbit but he just won't accept them:( So the lamb now goes to dagis with him and then comes home after.
