Last Saturday I took the bus about 1 hour away to the town where my sister lives. My nephew turned 4 last week and we were going to celebrate.
My week had been stressful and I hadn´t had time to buy the birthday gift I was planning to give. Instead, my nephew joined me in the toy store and he picked out what he wanted. He loves cars. I think he has about 600 of them at home but he can´t get enough of them. It is so cute because he will remember who gave him what car. I also got him a necklace because he also likes shiny sparkling things and will at times ask his mother if he can´t have her jewelry.
Sam wasn´t able to join us for the party so I asked my nephew to pose with the cars.
After a little fika we stopped by an indoor playground. The little baby in the picture was very intrested in my nephew and followed him around all the time, who in return enjoyed spending time with his new little buddy. He kept handing him balls and playing with him.
I think he is one of the most patient little boys. We were walking around in a lot of stores and were all getting very hungry. I just had to go into a small little store that had maternity clothes (my town has a very limited selection). My mom, sister and I were all saying how cute the clothes were and holding up different items. And then my nephew stated in a soft happy voice: “What a cozy store this is.”
After a wonderful supper out on town we returned to my sister´s apartment and made a traditional Swedish strawberry cake. My nephew got to help out with all the layers.
That was one yummy cake! And what was his wish? I Believe it was for a robot.

Thank you for writing about this and posting so many nice pics! I’m such a proud mom!
I must tell you that ever since he got those cars he brings them around here at home and then he picks “car of the day” and brings that one to day care to show his friends. Last night when he placed them all in perfect parking on his little bedside table he said: “I’m so glad for Mirjam and that she gave me these cars”.
Thank you Mirjam for coming to celebrate the 4th b-day of my son!
Love!

Oh, we wish we could have been there. We did think about Tobias on that day. I hope he had a great day and hope that he has a wonderful year ahead.
