While today was Sunday, due to what is going on in the world of Corona, my wife has to work some weekends and so far, has "randomly" pulled the two long weekends thus far, so it was a Daddy/ Daughter day again. We kept ourselves busy.
On the Friday holiday, we trialed a few new fruits with 
However, we did make something that she could eat and now that she is a little bigger, she really likes joining in and getting her hands dirty when we make her meat balls and "hamburger patties".
Recipe:
(we didn't have salt)
In the oven on 220C for a while.
We should have our own cooking show.
Regardless of the blandness of these things, she really likes them and loves that she is the one who makes them. She is courteous of course though, and thanked me for helping her get them ready. She is quite precise in the kitchen (as she is in most things) and enjoys trying to make the meatballs a uniform size and spreading them out on the oven tray. Food stuff with kids can likely be messy, but I think she has a little bit of OCD and other than literally a handful of accidental spills over the years, she is about as clean as a kid can be while cooking and eating.
Then there was a little renovation interlude, where I continued tearing down walls and ripping up floors for what will be the future bathroom. The plumber was here the other day to take the toilet and sink out (as well as add a few taps in other parts of the house) and tomorrow we will hear from one carpenter to see if he can make it here to prep a load-bearing wall for us this week. So, I have to make sure that as much of the pre-work is done to save their time and effort as, they charge by the hour.
Because we are converting a dry area into a wet, extra work and caution has to be taken to make sure it is done right, as a leaking second story into a house with a wooden core, isn't likely to end well. What I am really happy about is that the sawdust that I have pulled out from both warm and cold areas is bone dry.
Then lastly...
On Friday (May Day) the tradition is to have munkki - cinnamon donuts - and my wife gave her a tiny piece of a gluten-free one and she tried it and said it was "too sugary"
as if that is ever a thing...
She ate one and a half marshmallows and now, she won't sleep - sugar high. Which is kind of interesting if you think that since she generally has no added sugar and reacts like this, what it must be doing to the kids that eat it all the time and how it affects their body, thoughts and processes. My wife feels bad that she doesn't really get any sugary treats, but I don't mind her choosing a slice of pear over a bun, lingonberries over marshmallows.
Tomorrow is the start of my furlough period so I will only be working 3 days a week from now on - but I have a feeling that there will be more than 60% of my usual workload to do anyway. I should be doing the renovation work during this time, but it is a bit hard with my wife working and
"Daddy, you're having another one?"
