That’s right I’m addicted to football and have a severe case of world cup fever. Have you seen how may games they're showing a day at the moment?
How, I hear you all ask, do I have time to watch the world cup with a baby in the house….easy, and this brings me back to my post on Monday, now I’m not usually the kind to blow my own trumpet, so to speak, but just in case you didn’t know, we are parents to the best baby in the world.
Maud, most conveniently, goes to sleep around 8:30 pm and is then giving it large Zzzz’s all the way through until about 8am…..yes it’s the truth….really, after all she is the best baby in the world. This gives me time to watch footy.
I am in no way suggesting Maud’s goodness is due to us being super expert parents, although we would very much like to think it is. No, I think it’s down to luck, and this worries me.
I’m a firm believer, OK maybe not believer, but I reckon that there is some kind of ‘Law of Equilibrium’ when it comes to good fortune. That is to say if I have something good happen in my life I fully expect something bad to happen too, maybe not right away but it will happen, just to even things out. What goes around comes around.
Now being the father to the best baby in the world gives me, I believe, reason to be worried, I’m worried about the major badness that is waiting around every corner ready to get even, or maybe not, maybe this is just an extremely good thing evening out a bad thing that has already happened? I’m hoping.
Now enough insane babblings from me and lets get on with what you all want to see and read about…Maud.
I’m reliably informed by my good wife that today is Maud’s name day, but this only appears to apply in Norway, name day in Sweden today for example is devoted to Paulina or Paula. Doesn’t seem to be something that the British bother with. (I’m sure you’ll correct me if I’m wrong here mum)
Maud has spent her week in the usual manner, socialising and have a generally fun time.
Here at baby club on Tuesday.
and meeting Jonas on wednesday.

Never apologise for blowing your own trumpet when it comes to your child as they are the most wonderful gift you could be blessed with. Anyway I've seen the photos and she is adorable. Can't wait for a cuddle. And don't expect something bad to be be lurking round the corner just enjoy each day as you are doing, tip your glass up so that it becomes half full instead of half empty. I need to make more of an effort to practice this too. Loving the football. Come on England but also come on the underdog. You show em, Australia, Ghana!
