My cloud / Moj oblak

The “new” trend with adding every possible information that one has in a cloud on a server somewhere reminds me somehow of having my own cloud in my head with hundreds of thoughts constantly crossing my mind and I have no time to sort them. Today is the first time since ages where I left both kids in kindergarten, even if Adrian is staying just 2hrs. Long enough not to sit around there but too short to go back home.

“Novi” trend gdje sve moguće informacije stavljaš u oblak na nekim serverima me podsjeća na moj oblak u glavi gdje skupljam na stotine misli bez ikakve šanse da ih sortiram. Danas je prvi dan na duugo vremena gdje sam ostavila oboje djece u jaslicama, iako je Adrian samo 2 h ostao. Dovoljno dugo da ne čekam tamo, dovoljno kratko da mi se ne isplati kući otići. 
Ada is in the “Frozen” -world… / Ada u svijetu “Frozen”

I, on the other hand, ended up in a XXXL möbeln. Strolling around there I realized how genious Ikea is when it comes to selling things and how bad XXXL is. I am sure I would increase the turnover in XXXL for at least 2-3% if I could put things as I want them to. Strolling around here made me also think of my stock investments and my wish to get stocks where sustainability is an issue. I am also thinking of a friend that I am not managing to get on phone for ages now. Adrian is also becoming 1 year soon. How could the year pass so fast? I met a friend that is always having tons of stories and with whom I can chat forever. I have hundreds of thing I want to do or experience but for now these have concentrated to one…sleep. Sleep depriviation with kids is a killer! And so on and so on. Still lucky me I got a really fun and interesting book from one of my best friends that I highly recommend. So in all “my cloud” at least I can enjoy a book for a couple of minutes 🙂
Tako sam ja završila u XXXL prodavnici namještaja. Kako sam tamo malo šetala skontala sam koliko su genijalni vlasnici od Ikea. Sigurna sam kad bih ja poredala stvari kako ja hoću u XXXL da bi im barem za 2-3 % obrt skočio. 
Tako isto, dok sam se šetala, sam razmišljala o svojim dionicama i moju želju da buduće investicije budu više usmjerene prema održivost. 
Razmišljam o jednoj prijateljici koju nikako da uhvatim na telefon. 
Adrian je uskoro godinu dana. Kako tako brzo prođe godina?
Srela sam prijateljicu s kojom uvijek mogu stotine stvari da razglabam i satima možemo da pričamo. 
Ima stotinu stvari koje bih htjela uraditi i doživiti koje su se sve svele na jednu… da se dobro naspavam. Manjak spavanja kad imaš djecu je baš ubitačan.
Itd.itd. 
Ipak kako imam sreće dobila sam jednu pravo smiješnu i zanimljivu knjigu od jedne od mojih najbolji prijateljica.  Knjigu “Bringing up Bebe” preporučujem za čitati. 
Tako da iako je “moj oblak” pun barem mogu par minuta da oćeifim dobrom knjigom. 🙂

First day in kindergarten / Prvi dan u jaslicama

For me, it was a big day today. My little boy went to kindergarten for the first time. It felt awkward because he is so little. Ada was 2,5 years when she started and was already speaking two languages. Adrian is not speaking any language and I fear that he will not be understood when he needs something. On the other hand he loves children so it should be fine 🙂
In kindergarten I react on the differences between the Swedish and German system. For example, here the induction takes 4-6 weeks! In Sweden it was a week at most (as far as I remember).
Another thing that caught my eyes is that in Sweden children eat some snack like half a banana or apple (or some other fruit) around 10h so that they don´t get too hungry until lunch. Here they got one mais curl as snack. Adrian doesn’t even like it so I am pretty sure that Adrian, that is used to eat much more, will loose some weight in the beginning before he gets used to it.
Danas je bio važan dan. Moj mali dječak je po prvi put išao u jaslice. Čudno se osjećalo jer je tako malen. Ada je ipak bila 2.5 godine kad je krenula i već je 2 jezika pričala dok Adrian ni jedan ne priča. Pitam se hoće li znati pokazati šta hoće,ali u drugu ruku voli djecu tako da bi mu trebalo biti fino.
U jaslicama sam primjetila neke razlike između Švedskog i Njemaćkog sistema. Recimo uškolavanje (ili kako se to zove) traje 4-6 sedmica. U Švedskoj ti niko živ ne bi išao u vrtić toliko vremena. Tamo je maksimalno sedmica- dvije (ako je ekstremni neki slučaj) i dijete odmah ostave same.
Druga velika razlika je da u Švedskoj jedu pola voća banane, jabuke ili nešto drugo oko 10h da ne pregladne do 12h. Ovdje dobiju jedan smoki, koji još na to Adrian baš i ne gotivi. Sigurna sam da će Adrian ispočetka smršati dok se ne uhoda.

Day 1 / 1. dan

Today was Ada´s first day in kindergarten in Germany.  I think she loved it because she refused to leave that early as we were supposed to. Of course for the day she wanted to be very chic and wanted to wear the dress she had for my brothers wedding. For a short moment I wanted to refuse to let her go in that dress, I remembered how I hated it when other people did it to their children. I believe it is better she uses the dress and feels pretty in it than that this cute dress hangs in the wardrobe for a “special” occasion. Special occasions are supposed to be happening every day. My husband didn´t understand it at all. He wanted to dress her “practically”. However, the girls won this time 😀 For the first day in “school” she also got a little gift to play with, she loved it…I regretted it when I saw the mess afterwards 😛

Mislim da joj se pravo svidjelo jer nije htjela ici kuci tako rano kao sto smo se dogovorili. Naravno za pocetni dan je htjela da bude jako lijepa i htjela da nosi haljinu koju je nosila na svadbi mog brata. Prvo sam je htjela od toga nagovoriti, pa sam se sjetila kako sam to mrzila kad drugi rade djeci. Vjerujem da je bolje da koristi haljinu i da se osjeca lijepom nego da ta lijepa haljina visi u ormaru i ceka neku “posebnu” priliku. Posebne rilike trebaju da budu svaki dan. Moj muz to nije razumio, jer je hto da je prakticno obuce. Svejedno, ovaj put su cure pobijedile 😀 Naravno, za prvi dan u “skoji” dobila je i pokloncic. Njoj se pravo svidio, a ja kad sam vidjela rusvaj iza toga onda sam se pokajala za poklon 😛
