Sometimes a person gets bad so fast. In the morning we went for a check up to the doctor and Ada was fine. 2-3hrs later they call from kindergarten telling us she has very high fever (almost 40 degree Celsius). So off to the doc again and it turns out she has tonsillitis…again. She got antibiotics and is now getting better. But it does break a parents heart seeing the child completely knocked out from the fever.
Ponekad tako brzo ide kad osoba postanje lošija. Ujutru smo otišli na kontrolu kod doktora i Ada je tad bila dobro. 2-3 sata kasnije nas zovu iz vrtića da nam jave da ima jako visoku temperaturu, skoro pa 40 stepeni. Tako da smo opet onda morali kod doktora da bi se pokazalo da OPET ima upalu krajnika. Dobila je antibiotik i sad joj je već bolje. Ali kad vidiš dijete onako malaksalo tačno se srce para.
My family / Moja familija
Sunday afternoon / Nedjelja
Today, we decided to enjoy the day outdoors. We went to Karlsruhe zoo that Ada loves. Still my favorite animal is the ice bear. Sadly, the three bears were just sleeping the whole time. I had hoped for some action.
Ada refused to have her afternoon sleep, so she fell asleep at 17u.30h which means. She will get up at 3.00h. Some days I just love being parent 😛
Danas smo odlučili provesti dan vani. Otišli smo u Karlsruhe zološki vrt koji Ada voli. Moja omiljena životinja tamo je još uvijek polarni medjved. Nažalost, sva tri medvjeda su spavali čitavo vrijeme. Ja sam se nadala nekoj akciji.
Ada nije htjela da odspava turu, tako da je zaspala u 17.30h što znači da će u 3h ustati. Neke dane (noći) stvarno uživam u roditeljskom životu 😛
Coolest hospital room / Interesantna bolnička soba
And then it happen. Ada fell and got hurt so we had to go to the hospital. It was nothing bad but worth checking up. Usually hospitals are quite boring, but here they had painted the rooms I just had to take pictures. Wonderful idea that doesn´t cost that much but means a lot for the small patients. I find it should be done in all hospitals. Cute isn´t it 😀
I tako se desi. Ada je pala i tako se udarila da smo otišli u bolnici da provjerimo da je sve ok. Srećom nije ništa opasno. Inače su sobe bolničke pravo deprimirajuće ali ovdje su prelijepo ih ofarbali.. Prekrasna ideja koja ne košta puno a puno znači za te male pacijente. Svaka bolnica bi trebala ovako nešto uraditi. Zar nije slatko 😀
That feeling… / Onaj osjecaj
When the daughter, after have been suspiciously silent, calls me to her room to show me “the beautiful painting she has made” ?
Kad me kcerka, nakon sto je bila jako mirna, zove u sobu da mi pokaze “prelijepu sliku sto je crtala”… ?
Art / Umjetnost
Last week Ada brought home her first painting in aquarelle that she had made in the kindergarten. I must say I was quite impressed of the painting. Since, this weekend we needed some things from THE IKEA I decided to buy a frame and frame the painting. I must say it turned out better than I thought. And Ada, she was soo proud of it 😀
Prosle sedmice je Ada kuci donijela svoju prvu sliku od akvarel boja koju je uradila u vrticu. Moram reci da sam bila odusevljena slikom. A posto smo ove sedmice morali ici u Ikeu , kupila sam ram i uramila sliku. Ispala je bolja nego sto sam mislila. A Ada je bila takooo ponosna 😀
Weekend in Strasbourg / Vikend u Strasburgu
I booked a hotel in Strasbourg as a birthday gift to Ensar. The hotel I choose is Graffalgar hotel and it was very cool because every room was designed by a different artist. We had one called Monsta, and the room was designed with wolves. The hotel was great. It was clean and not far from the old center.
Za rodjendan Ensar je dobio putovanje u Strasburg. Bukirala sam jedan jako cool hotel koji se zove Graffalgar i dosta je blizu centra. Interesantno je sto je svaka soba u hotelu dizajnirana od nekog drugog umjetnika. Nasa se soba zvala Monsta, a u sobi su bili vukovi po zidovima. Sobe su bile ciste i dorucak je meni bio dobar.
Stari dio grada u Strasburgu je prelijep. Ima lijepe stare zgrade, kafic, prodavnicic i restorane. Ovi stari gradovi su tako lijepo napravljeni da na hiljade turista dolaze da ih vide. Danasnji arhitekti bi mozda trebali i ljepotu uzeti u obzir kad prave zgrade da ne prave samo kvartove istih, kao kavez izgledajucih, zgrada koje niko nece htjeti vidjeti za 50 godina.
With child it is different to travel because it is not really like I can take Ada to museums (I would just run after her and would not see anything). Still I love to go with her because she gets so fascinated of other things then we grown ups.
We decided to take the sightseeing train, that she loved (at least a while), she also loved one of Europe’s if not even worlds oldest carousels and the boat tour was also highly appreciated.
Putovati sa djetetom je malo drugacije nego kad sam ides. Nije bas da mogu Adu po muzejima voditi. Samo bih za njom trcala i nista ne bih vidjela. Ali volim sa njom putovati jer postane fascinirana sasvim drugim stvarima nego odrasli.
Odlucili smo ici na kratki krug sa vozicem, Adi se (barem neko vrijeme) pravo svidjelo. Adi se isto svidio ringispil, koji je jedan od najstariji (ako ne i najstariji) u Evropi ili cak u svijetu. A i voznja sa brodom nam se svima pravo dopala.
The bridge you see in the picture has a dark history. In former times criminals, especially the ones who had hurt (killed, raped, abused and so on) children and women, were put in an iron cage and than thrown into the water.
Most na slici ima tamnu istoriju. U davnim vremenima su kriminalce, pogotovo one koji su zene i djecu ubijali, silovali, maltretirali itd. stavljali u zeljezni kavez, kojeg su onda bacili u vodu.
Here are some of the things that I really liked and I am sure I will go back to Strasbourg for, at least, a tea.
Ovdje je par stvari sto mi se pravo dopalo i sigurna sam da cu se opet vratiti u Strasburg, ako nista barem na caj.
Strasbourg Next / Strasbourg slijedeci
As I wrote previously, it is a little bit difficult to buy a gift for Ensar. I was then thinking “What is the best thing one can do and never regret”? And the answer is of course TRAVEL! So I booked a hotel in Strasbourg and hope we will have a wonderful weekend 😀
If you have any tips of must sees I´ll be happy to read / hear.
Kao sto sam prije napisala tesko je kupiti neki poklon Ensaru. Tako da sam kontala “sta je najbolja stvar koju mozes uraditi a nikad se ne pokajes”? I odgovori je naravno PUTOVATI! Tako da sam bukirala hotel u Strasburgu i nadam se da cemo provesti jedan super vikend tamo. 😀

Separation / Rastav
Today, was the first “separation” day for Ada. I left her in the kindergarten and had to pick her up a little bit later. She was quite fine for 1.5 hrs but after that she wanted to see mama 😛 Tomorrow is a new (longer) try 😀
I must say it is quite fascinating how she develops. How she copes with a new language, and how she goes to children and tries to communicate.
The most fascinating, I find, is the fabulous interest of learning new things, new language and she is never tired or lazy to do it. Definitely, something we grown ups could copy a little bit 😀
Prevod: Ne rastu samo djeca, i roditelji to rade. Koliko god mi gledali nasu djecu sta rade od svojih zivota, tako oni gledaju sta mi radimo nasim (zivotima)
Danas je bio prvi dan “rastavljanja” za Adu. Ostavila sam je u vrticu i otisla sam po nju poslije nekog vremena. Bila je ok nekih 1.5h ali nakon toga je poceo plac i zelja za mamom 😛 Sta ces, sutra novi pokusaj ide 😀
Zanimljivo je gledati kako napreduje. Kako se bori sa novim jezikom, kako prilazi djeci i probava komunicirati. Ali najfascinantnije, meni, je ta nevjerovatna zelja za novim znanjem. Nikad joj nije nesto mrsko ili da je preumorna za neko novo izucavanje. To je definitivno nesto sto mi “stariji” mozemo da preuzmemo od djece 😀

Happy 40th Birthday / Sretan 40.i rodjendan
I usually love birthdays. I love the feeling of finding out the gift I want to give and I love to see the happy face the person gets when he or she gets my gift. When thinking of it I actually love it more than getting a gift myself.
Imagine my frustration when I cannot come up with a gift to my husband(!!). For his 40th birthday!! I mean how can that be? He is not having any wish that I can catch up. He is not interested in trying some parachuting or diving. He is no fan of massage and saunas. He feels to tired for travels, but likes it when he arrives to the place. Books, he loves, but he didn´t even have time to read the ones he has. The only wish he has is to have a free weekend to sleep longer and afterwards to play with Ada…He will get it this weekend. But celebrating 40 years without a proper gift… not my style 😀
In any case Ada has prepared a gift for him ( I asked her what she wants to give her dad and she answered- “nose spray so he can stay healthy”!! Writing this post I also came up with a gift …but he´ll get it at Saturday 😀
Inace volim rodjendane. Volim onaj osjecaj dok trazim i razmisljam koji poklon dati i kad vidim sretno lice osobe kad dobije poklon. Kad malo razmislim vise volim dati poklone nego ih dobiti. Tako da zamislite moju frustraciju kad ne mogu muzu da nadjem poklon!! I to za njegov 40.i rodjendan!! Kako to moze biti tako? Svakome nadjem a njemu ne mogu. Nema nikakvih zelja na koje mogu dovezati. Ne zanimaju ga ekstremni sportovi da proba poput padobrana ili ronjenja. Ne voli saune ili masaze. Umoran je za putovanja, ali voli kad dodje na neko novo mjesto. Jedina zelja je da bude slobodan i da se naspava da bi poslije se mogao igrati sa Adom…To ce dobiti ovog vikenda. Ali slaviti 40.u bez pravog poklona…ne ide. U svakom slucaju je Ada pripremila poklon za njega…da bude zdrav. A i ja sam se sjetila dok sam ovo pisala. Ali njega ce dobiti tek u subotu 😀
