Reason #175 – I nearly lost my son in the Roskilde fjord
Reason #175 – I nearly lost my son in the Roskilde fjord
Aug 05When I was 7 or 8 years old, I dreamed of one day going to Sweden or Norway to see the majestic fjords and marry a tall, blond Scandinavian man.
A million few years later, it has all come true, except for the fact that my Dane is not blond and that the Danish fjords look nothing like this:
They look more like this:
A prize goes to the first person to locate my son in this photo, as he is about to jump in the icy Danish seas.
Can I really not keep him safe for 5 bloody minutes?
Apparently not.
It was a bit of a letdown for me too… Not as majestic as you imagine. My little halfbreed has tried to take a flying leap off that wall a couple of times. It must be the viking genes…. Fear nothing.

Ah, but you’re not based in Roskilde, right? Because if you are, we MUST meet the next time and take bets to see which one falls off!

Beach? My son does that with the water that overflows from the drinking fountain in the park!

He’s the little green/blue splotch along the same line as the flagpole with the little red flag on it.

I see him hanging over that stone wall there…….hmmm a harness with a zipcord leash might come in handy ;)
My Bear will beeline for water first chance he gets too so I think it’s encoded in toddler boys…..

I am SO ready for a harness. Seriously. This kid is getting faster than me.
I have your address, right?

Would that be the lil cutie leaning over the railing? And no, we can’t keep them safe for five minutes, maybe not even three minutes in my house…

Email me your address, keen-eyed one!
Kids and safety, I tell you: if they are breathing at the end of the day, I call it a success.
