September always goes too fast

Oh goodness, has it been almost a month? I find myself with less time for updates on here now that school is in session.
My days are quite full balancing three classes and a non-stop growing and changing baby!
Let’s see, what is new...

Aaron and I both had birthdays this month, as well as our third wedding anniversary. We had some nice family time, long walks, and museum visits.






Soren also turned 6 months old! The last few weeks have been amazing. Suddenly he just hangs out in tummy time, reaching out for toys or watching cars outside. He also has a play center that he adores, and has learned to make a little hopping motion of excitement. His coordination is suddenly amazing, and he uses that new skill to bring anything and everything to his mouth. His favorite is pieces of paper 😂
 





Soren is now eating real food! It took him a while to get used to it, but now he gets jealous if we eat  without him. He loves oatmeal and bananas, and tolerates sweet potato and apples. He mostly loves the spoon



The new shopping center opened near us. It’s exciting to have big grocery stores so close, but the stores have some growing pains. The maps are non existent and the building is a maze! They finally added signage to the metro, but there are still some stores that are exceptionally difficult to get to. The foodie scene looks amazing and I can’t wait until I can eat without restrictions again. Until then, Aaron and I have been frequenting a vegetarian buffet that caters to our needs nicely!





Last, we are fully in autumn weather now. It’s not very different from a Wisconsin autumn, but windier and more rain. And, of course, we never had a baby in autumn in Wisconsin! We were rushed into getting a new stroller after experiencing a few close calls with our City Mini GT. It’s so top heavy with the car seat, and the three wheel design (that makes it a dream to steer) made it a death trap in high wind.

Now we’re rocking a used Emmaljunga City stroller, which is a low-to-the-ground tank. It also has better weather proofing, can lay flat for naps, and can be used until he’s 6! We plan on buying another used version, just for the spare parts, since this model is no longer sold. I think he likes it!

Learning Finnish: progress check

 Do I speak Finnish? No. Omg no. I speak just enough that I can mostly keep up with what my 3 year old brings home from school. I usually can buy something without revealing my ineptitude. I can read many signs with context. But at the same time, I have come a CRAZY long way. Let me demonstrate. 2015 (trip to Finland) I cannot hear sentences, words, or even basic sounds. I cannot hear the difference between y and u, and I can’t keep a/ä straight in my head.  I regularly think people speaking Finnish are speaking Japanese. 2018  (initial move to Finland) I have studied some words from America. Ironically, this will mostly be unhelpful in the long run because I learned to pronounce them incorrectly. I put the accent on the wrong syllable, thanks to my years studying Spanish, and I can’t keep a/ä and o/ö straight.  I am super proud when someone says anteeksi (excuse me/sorry) and I know to move out of their way. I cannot pronounce the name of our neighborhood in a way t...

How Finland has Changed Me

 We’ve been living in Helsinki, Finland for a little over 2 years now. That’s not super long, but it’s long enough that our lives have drastically changed to fit our new environment. I still remember the first day we were in Finland in our temporary apartment, suddenly in a record breaking heat with no air conditioning, trying to figure out how such tiny grocery stores could possible have all foods we were used to, and completely forgetting that we actually had to carry our food home. Never mind the fact that my Finnish was limited to hei (hey), kiitos (thank you), and anteeksi (excuse me/sorry), which does not help you at all when trying to read food labels for allergens. We didn't have any bags, so S had to carry our groceries. It’s strange to think about those versions of us. Raising kids in Finland has forced us to adapt and conform to Finnish norms faster than we probably would have naturally, and I love that. I love that I’ve changed in many ways that will probably be permane...

Adventures in Paivakoti

Well, friends, it's been three months since we returned from America and Soren started in Paivakoti. It's been a game changer for everyone. Let's talk about what paivakoti is, why we are using it, and what the biggest differences are from American day care. Paivakoti literally translates to day home in Finnish. It is a public service, closer to public schooling in the states, so placement is guaranteed within certain conditions. It covers every child over 1 until school age, which starts at 7. Although one is the minimum age, maternity leave is generous enough that many do not start until 3. Soren is attending out neighborhood Paivakoti for half days. The paivakoti is the first floor of the building, while school age classes are on the second floor. Soren has a group of roughly 15 kids, where he is the youngest, and the next youngest is 6 months older. He is the only one not walking, the only one doing half days, and the only one without a Finnish parent. But that isn...
