It was good to exchange experiences and ideas with Helena and Jim. We learned from Helena how to make a new kind of sling, which feels a lot more fun for Anne Sophie, now that she can sit and loves to watch what's going on around her. Jim reads to Jonathan in English from Dr. Seuss. We also read nursery rhymes to Anne Sophie, but Dr. Seuss sounds a lot more fun :) Helena also taught us some exercises from mother & child gynmastics class that she follows back in Finland. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any such classes hier in Holland. But I'll ask around!

Meeting Jonathan
Apart from her weekly 30-minutes baby swimming class, Anne Sophie almost never meets her peers. This Easter weekend was very special, because all the way from Finland came Jonathan, a son of our good friends Helena & Jim Law, grandson of Roberta and Jim Law Sr. Jonathan is just 2.5 weeks older than Anne Sophie. Last Saturday the two kids had plenty of opportunity to play together as you can see on the photographs.

We also enjoyed the meeting of Jonathan and Anne Sophie. It seemed as though they hit it off right away. We look forward to other meetings in the future, such as in June during Jonathan's next visit.
