Getting to like presents

We celebrated a wonderful christmas with family and friends, and jumped into the new year with our fingers crossed for another year of fun and happiness with Sebastian. 

After receiving presents both at home and with the kids in kindergarten EVERY DAY of December, and after going through yet another huge pile of wrapped toys on christmas eve, Sebastian finally started to speak of presents from santa with a certain eagerness in his voice. Up until the 24th of December he would keep saying 'afraid' when we mentioned the nice man with the big, white beard and his bag full of presents. This has now changed. We went to Uncle Thomas' birthday on the 1st of January (poor Thomas ...) and Sebastian was very keen to open Thomas' present. In other words: it is now getting really fun to spoil him even more than we have already done!

Through a research project in New York we now have the oppotunity to get more insight on Sebastians FA situation. It takes 'only' a bloodsample so far, which seems easy. However, it turns out that quite a few bloodsamples has been waiting way too long on their way through American customs, and when they finally reached the researchers they were useless. Our hematologist here in Denmark therefore recommended us to take Sebastian to New York for the bloodsample. Therefore we have started planning a trip to New York, probably in April. We will of course use this oppotunity to take some holidays, visit friends and go sightseeing as well. If you have any suggestions for things to do with an almost 3 year old boy in the New York / Washington area you are most welcome to mail your suggestions to us (make a comment on this blog).
