much colder than asia...

since we arrived in sweden, we have noticed a few new difficulties with zoe, but i have to say the worst one is shoes. she is used to her gummi sandals, she has been wearing them or nothing for four months, so why should she suddenly put on socks and uncomfortable tight fitting shoes? every shoe we try gives her "eeiye yieee". it was still freezing temps when we came back and all her shoes were too small, or so she said. luckily temps have warmed up, but this shot is of her going outside for the first time since we came home, do you think we bundled her up enough? she would not let us button the jacket though, stubborn kid, no idea where she gets it from.she is easily adjusting to all her toys and things though, she is in love with her hair thingy drawer in the bathroom. she has a little elephant purse she shoves as many hair thingies into every day as she possibly can. it is amazing, kinda reminds me of the clowns climbing out of the little car, there are just more and more. she carries the bag around until she finds a good place to take them all out, and later when it is time to clean up mommy can never fit them all back into the bag, zoe must be a magician.
and lastly, our newest in house renovation is recovering the sofa, we found the fabric in bkk, and bought a bunch of it to hopefully cover the hideous bright red sofa that we bought with the idea to recover immediately nearly 4 years ago. will post a pic when we are further along, this is only the first section.
