Diederik dressed up for Carneval at Kindergarden. Mr lova lova.. :)

When I asked Diederik what he wanted for his birthday he replied "Chocolate and a guitar" so I made a chocolate guitar cake for him. The day started off with a birthday breakfast, including chocolate cake and a bicycle. At 10 o'çlock Oma, Opa, Stijn, Loed, Fay, Kiera, Tom, Sasha, Mees, Klaas, Valentijn, Tommy,  Alexander (lolo), Mathew, Isabelle and Alexander all came and one of their parents. After sining, cake, pillow fighting, Cars, hot dogs, the adults having lunch we ended the party with Swedish Fiskdam and the children loved it. When everyone had left Diederik and Oscar layed down to rest on the sofa with their partybags close at hand.

The day before Diederiks bithday he had his birthday party at kindergarden. He had made his own muffins the day before with pink icing and Winney the Poo on top. He was very proud and loved getting all the attention. On Monday he will start his new group with the children aged 3 to 4. Both Zep and Fay his two bestfriends have alreday moved to that group so he can't wait. The same day the will also be celebrating Carneval and all the children will be dressed up. Next birthday it will off to School!!!

Morfar and Marina came over to visit us from Riga.

It was very nice having them here. Although Marina, Diederik and Oscar don't speak the same language but the played and communicated with no problem. Morfar was just like one of the boys.

Diederik and Oscar are both very "ondernemend" as they say in Dutch. I just looked it up on the Dictionary and this was the explenation: enterprising) marked by imagination, initiative, and readiness to undertake new projects.
