Bjarki turns 3 years old!
It was three years ago today that Bjarki and Reynir were born. How time flies! We didn’t do anything particular to mark the day (planning a proper party soon), but Nökkvi, Jóhanna and Ylfa gave Bjarki a fantastic drum that him and Anna banged on for the next few hours. We spent most of the day at my aunt Hulda’s (where Nökkvi and Jóhanna also live), because she has two kids and therefore LOTS OF TOYS!
It has to be said that it’s been a big relief how independent Anna is in her play with others in Iceland. We’ve hardly seen her for the past few days, which is a good thing after we all got a little too close in New York. Sometimes personal space is a good thing. 🙂

Jóhanna and my mom (holding Ylfa) discussing matters.
Bjarki still loving the swinging and tickling.
The rest of the kids (plus Nökkvi) by the play-castle.

The girls squeal in delight as Nökkvi kicks that blue ball into the side of the swings.
Pétur pushing Bjarki again on the tire swing. Bjarki can be veeery persistent, and usually ends up getting what he wants.

Anna happy.

Oh no! One tired, hungry, frustrated boy. Time to go inside!
