Sniðugur strákur

Óðinn var kominn upp í rúm í gær og ég var í næsta herbergi að brjóta saman þvott og að dást að því hversu duglegur hann væri að fara sjálfur að sofa, bara tveggja ára. Þegar ég er síðan búin að brjóta saman þvottinn og sný mér við, sá ég að hurðin inn í herbergið hans var opin - þá hafði minn maður læðst fram í stofu og var að horfa á sjónvarpið. Það vantaði bara kók og snakk og minn hefði verið alsæll!

Annars er allt gott að frétta. Ég er búin að skila af mér fyrsta árs skýrslunni og fer í munnlegt próf í næstu viku. Svo fer að koma að stórafmæli hjá sumum ... 2. ára!

Ninished

That´s it, holiday "ninished", as Odinn says. We´re flying to England tomorrow evening. It´s been a great trip, Odinn loves the pool and beach - is still adamant they are puddles. Think I´ll have to start taking him to the swimming pool at weekends now. He´s not so hot on eating out, sitting still is not really something he´s good at, but he was getting better at it. He´s taught my parents and niece lots of English, and we´re all speaking Ice-lish now - a blend of English and Icelandic, just like he does. He´s walked so much in the past two weeks that his pot-belly has disappeared, and I´m now worrying he´s getting too thin! Anyways, that´s it in English for now, back to Icelandic when I get home. Bye for now.

Cake ban!!!

Odinn is a lot better behaved today. My parents have been banned from giving him anything he asks for, especially cakes...! He wasn´t happy this morning, but has accepted it.
Going down to the beach to try to catch some fish.

oh no!

Have just had the most embarrassing experience. Odinn was really badly behaved at a restaurant and I´m completely mortified. Fortunately I wont see any of these people again in a few days time!
Otherwise a good day. We went down to the beach this morning and tried catching some fish to look at, but being the most rubbish biologist around I couldn´t catch any, so Odinn just went and helped the life guard wash his boat instead. After lunch we went for a walk and got a ride on a "train" (train like car with lots of carriages). That went down really well and he was talking about it for hours afterwards.
Had decided all those gimmicks were not for me, but have spent more money on all sorts of cars, bikes, planes and helicopters, than on anything else this trip... whatever makes him happy basically...

Still warm here!

Another busy day. Been to the zoo/farm and Odinn loved the animals. Walked up to more monuments, he was the only one of us that ran and jumped everywhere. The rest of us were sweating and panting ... he´s also getting very brown, much darker than me. Session up, more later...

Even warmer...

Yesterday we went to see the islands prehistoric monuments... well a few of them. Odinn climbed into an excavated mass grave (dating from about 1000 bc) and walked all around a huge quarry.
We went to the only golf course on the island today. It was great. Mum and I had never been, so we only went to the driving range and learned to use the clubs. I managed to hit a ball over 60 metres and can see now why it becomes addictive. Odinn thought it was great fun and after watching dad, swung the clubs round in circles and managed to hit me on the shin - it really hurt! Dad helped him hit the ball a few times and he thought it was great fun. We were there over two hours and he shot, threw and kicked the balls and then practised his putting as well.
Odinn also likes chinese food. We´ve been twice, as there is a lovely chinese just around the corner, with fantastic food and service, and he slurps it all up, especially the noodles.
