time for blog

I'm sure you're all thinking: It's a long time since Oscar last blogged, but he is excused for he is probably just busy helping his parents moving to the new house! But that's not true, not because he's not helping them, but because the moving-business has been delayed by undetermined time because of, let's say, some technical problems that the seller has! The thing doesn't depend at all on us, and all we can do is wait on the sideline that things get resolved. We just hope that we can move before mum's belly becomes too big and before the quicksilver starts boiling in the thermometers! The good side about the delay is that Oscar can continue to go to the kindergarten and "make antibodies" as italians love to say -and to learn to play with other kids, as is my parents' point of view.
Now you might be wondering if I've started to talk about myself in third person, Oscar can continue... But no, I have not, for I'm not Oscar. He has been so busy lately that he has had no time to blog, so I thought I'd step in for once and update you a bit on the situation. I myself am also quite busy, but my errands are more primitive than his, such as swimming, learning the amniotic rhumba (my brother was a master, and now he has become a dansfifl as they say in iceland!), and growing. Oscar on the other hand has been busy fighting an ear-infection, allergic reaction to the antibiotics, learning new words, passing the no-no-phase and playing all day long. I love to hear his voice, and especially I like his laughter. When he laughes it is as if all my cells are laughing as well and I start shaking and kicking so hard that my mum starts wondering what is happening in her uterus. But when he cries it makes me sad, for there is nothing I can do to soothe him. The best time of day, however, is when he is going to sleep and I get to hear his lullaby-toy, that always makes me want to swim around, and soon I fall asleep just like him.
One day a couple of weeks ago Oscar behaved a bit strangely, he didn't want to do his afternoon nap in his bed as usually, but wanted to cuddle with mum and he basically slept from 1-6 in the afternoon wrapped around mum's belly. It was the day before the outbreak of his allergic reaction to the antibiotic, and later my mum thought maybe his sleepiness and longing for an embrace was due to the reaction -but no. That morning, Oscar finally got to know the truth!!! As he had been ill all week, he didn't go to the kindergarten, so when mum and dad went to see the person in the white coat they were forced to take him with them. But since mum had had problems when bringing Oscar with her to the gynecologist a couple of weeks earlier (basically he insisted on sitting in mum's lap while she was being examined!!), they called a friend to stay with Oscar in the waiting room while mum and dad took a look at me through an amazing mirror in the doctor's room. The friend, not knowing that Oscar did not know, started telling him how exciting it all was, what a responasbility it would be to be a big brother and so on...! First he didn't understand anything...it took some time for him to absorb all the news. Then he thought about the cannibalism, the live baby he had seen in mum's belly, and then, adding 2 to 2 he finally got the right answer. Eureka, so that's why mum's belly is growing! Now you can all figure out why he wanted to embrace the belly for the rest of the day!

big hugs to all of you, and many greetings also from mum dad and Oscar

Velkomin í bloggheima Sergiosdóttir. Ég vissi að það væri bara spurning um tíma áður en þú færir að blogga. Megum við nú búast við slagsmálum um það hvor fær að stjórna lyklaborðinu?
