Of Mice and Boys
This is a story e-mailed to us by Thor's best friend's dad:
Yesterday as I was done a round of interviews in the daycare office and came out to bring Alexis home, his best friend Thor came up to me and said "I have a mouse in my pocket". "Oh, really", says I, "is it real?". Following his positive confirmation to my not so seriously meant question, I said "show me!", and out of his pocket comes a tiny baby mouse (real but dead - probable cause: suffocation or pure shock). I smiled as if to say "good cat" (like I do to Zebulon when he catches a mouse), but the operative manager of the day care gave a loud scream (she has a thing against tiny animals), and ordered Thor to throw it out right away and wash and disinfect his hands (they have these automatic disinfectant liquid machines due to the swine flue - H1N1 -spreading).
Worse was yet to come: Upon being asked by the staff: "Where on earth did you get the idea of catching a live baby mouse?" Thor replies: "Alexis caught it and gave it to me as a present", whereby Alexis hides behind the door, wishing he was already home... I just laughed and explained why it was, though fascinating and exciting, maybe better for the mouse to stay outside with his mom and dad, and then had my bratty boy wash and disinfect his hands.
I left the day care with a nostalgic smile: Once way back, must have been around 10-12 years old, me and my best friend Christian came home from a 2 week sailing camp with two large empty coffee tins with one vole (field-mice actually) in each tin... my first pet...funny how the world turns, eh!
Thanks, Niklas, for sharing the story with us. Thor did not mention his mouse adventure at all :-)

Til hamingju með 5 ára afmælið Thor!
Thor - litli strákurinn okkar - er fimm ára í dag! Yndislegur drengur með frjótt ímyndunarafl og margt til lista lagt. Hann hefur gaman af því að lesa blöð og bækur (og dótabæklinga...), hjóla og leika sér með star wars wan tan pang pang riddarakastala vonda og góða karla.
Þegar hann verður stór ætlar hann að stjórna! Stjórna á náttúrufræðisafninu. Stjórna löggunni. Og stjórna eins og RakkObama! Hann er byrjaður að æfa sig...
För 5 år sedan...
Den här bilden togs på Thor när han var fyra månader - som Otto är nu. Dom är faktiskt ganska lika :-) Redan då kunde man se att Thor funderade mycket över världen och observerade det han såg runtomkring sig.

Thor, Markus & Bengt på cykelutflykt
Morgonpigga killar! Strax efter tio cyklar dom iväg på utflykt med Bengt. Då har dom redan hunnit med både simskola och att spela StarWars tv-spel.
