Here is a picture of my girls, taken in our new enclosed patio. As you can see it is pretty limited what one can see of the patio and Nina. Believe
it or not, even though I am able to manipulate photos, this picture is for
real. But then what is the reason that Nina is lacking some volume? Well
you see, she has simply followed the weight-consultants program, and
through the last 8 months she has lost 16 kilos. I
am of course very proud of her, not only has she been there to encourage
and nurse me when I needed it, she has also been able to stick to a diet.
A diet that meant that we, more or less, had to cook two different meals
each night. Not a problem when I am able to lend a hand in the kitchen,
but it has been far from every day that I have been able to do so. Even
though I am very happy with the ekstra bedspace Nina’s weight loss has
given, I constantly try to lure her into eating, with one delicious dish
after the other. I mean, I don’t want her to disappear altogether! We
have been taking our kids to swimming lessons ever since they were very
small. Something we can definately recommend other parents to do, this way
the kids develop a natural feel with water. Line
could swim on her own in the summer of 2000, and
has become a very stabile swimmer. Cecilie
cannot swim
yet, but is very comfortable in the water, and loves when we take her
swimming. We
have also taken our children to gymnastics ever since they could walk.
This way the parents also get a little exercise! Luckily they have reached
an age where the parents are no longer allowed to come. So now we leave it
up to the little ones to break a sweat.
