I´ve talked about this before, in the “Dos in January“-post, but here I go again. Thinking back at the times when mom and dad watched TV with the younger me makes me all fuzzy inside.

Viola and I watch plenty of TV and every now and then we do watch together. I try to show her movies that I liked when I was her age. So far this has worked.  “Släpp Fångarna Loss Det Är Vår” a Swedish classic from 1975, by Tage Danielsson (who passed away way to early) is one movie we´ve watched together alot. It´s a funny story about two people determent to find prisoner Harald, his hidden talent. (It turns out he is awesome at making cookies.)

The actors are divine and the overall look of the movie is so cool and when I watch it as an adult I realize this movie has influenced the way I look through my camera a lot.

It is in Swedish, but if you find a subtitled version you have to promise me to watch it!

The clip below shows the awesome house that Tage and Lena share. It is customized to fit his needs as a tall person and hers as a not-so-tall person. Even the pictures on Lenas wall are small when his are not. Love this!

After weeks of wiggling- the tooth is bound to come off. If it happens at school-storage is an important issue. The precious tooth can not get lost. There is money at stake here!

At my kids school they have a “Transportation Box” for these situations. The box (that´s actually a glass jar) has been made special with small stickers and a tag saying that “The box has to be returned to the Preschool” once the delivery has been made.

Then the money-making can begin. The Swedish tooth fairy likes to pick up the teeth nice and clean so the kids have to put them in a glass of water before going to bed.

And in the morning, hopefully, there is money. In some rare cases the tooth has still been sitting there. Usually there is a neglecting fairy to blame. Or maybe “he got stuck in traffic”. If so.. just do the same thing next night but make sure to set an reminder on your phone.

Viola has been tracing a lot lately. It´s a fun alternative to drawing things from you head. She tapes the picture she wants to trace on a window and then a blank paper on top. This one she has been working on for days. This window faces east so it has perfect amount of light in the morning before school.
