..from an August in Finland when Rekku was 10 and Valtteri 1 and a 1/4.
In random order:
The long walk in the forest with Kaisa, Eemeli and Rekku, when Rekku stubbornly communicated to us that we are going to the wrong direction, that the way he wanted to go was the right way to the agility field. (The thought of us wanting to go anywhere else was clearly completely absurd to him.) What amazed me was that he had not walked those routes in four years. The doggy must love agility to be able to remember a route to the practice field after all those years.
Valtteri imitating his young uncle and cousins in everything. Learning new things everyday, especially climbing in the play grounds. The moment he practiced getting on and off the little three-wheeled bicycle; ten times repeats, on and off. Then it was a skill he new, and off he went to learn something else.. And learning how to blow bubbles under water. And dance gangnam style (kinda).
Walks in the woods with the boys, Rekku off leash and happy, and Valtteri either sleeping on my back or on his feet discovering new things. Eating berries from the bushes, teaching Valtteri to say "mustikka" ("muukka" was closest) as he tried to pick them himself. Rekku refusing to eat blueberries but accepting all raspberries offered to him. Sitting on a big rock hugging Rekku, both admiring the forest in silence. Team mates :)
Valtteri learning about bugs. Squashing most of them, but also allowing a beetle and a lady bug to walk on his hand. Making sad sounds of "oh poor lady bug" as it tried but could not fly with only one wing. Finding squirrels in the trees, admiring horses on the field. Pointing at the sky at every sound of an airplane or a helicopter.. Playing with a wooden helicopter and hitting himself in the head with it!
A night of roaring laughter at Zetor. A waiter that spoke fluent Japanese and managed to accidentally make an inside joke with the sparkling wine glasses. Excellent food, straight talk and deep analysis, support of fabulous friends. First night apart from Valtteri.
Weekends at country side; at mom's cabin and visiting cousins, ants and uncle. The smell of forest, colours of the autumn. That early morning walk by the oat fields when the only sound was Valtteri's babbling about the tractor on the field..
Admiring the buildings, shops and Cafes in Punavuori and Eira. Finally eating spicy Asian food! Seeing Rekku and Noppa hang out like Singapore was yesterday. Valtteri's crush on Noppa: mmmmuah! (Kiss)
The repeated thought after visits to friends and relatives: "That was a really nice visit, I had a great time."
