The days are getting shorter and I am starting to be a bit nervous for the winter. It's all well and good to say "oh yeah, there's 5 hours of sunlight a day" until you start to approach it. I am a person who is very sensitive to the light/dark, I wake up when it's bright and sunny and sleep when it's dark. Does anyone spot the problem for me living in Northern Sweden? Yeah, Me too. So it's Friday night and I was ready to go to bed at 7pm (sundown these days). What will I do when it's 2pm?
There are other changes I'm noticing too.Sundsvall is not so exotic anymore, it's the place I live like Toronto. I know the streets, have favourite places to go, I have a routine. This is great and kind of deflating. I like feeling like I'm at home, it's safer and more pleasant in the everyday, but it means I have to go farther for adventure.
Beth is changing rapidly. She can reach on top of tables, puts toys away, clothes in the laundry, items in the garbage (sometimes the right ones) and this week we were learning to roll down a hill. She has her first school photos on Monday, and I can't believe it. I wonder how many fridge magnets and key chains I can buy. I'm so proud of her and excited for her, and she hasn't even done anything, but it's such a first hallmark of being a child.
