IKEA

For males of all ages a trip to IKEA can be an experience ranging from annoying to traumatizing. Not so for little Mister Henri, whose excitement was only matched by his trip to the fairy tale theme park back in summer. Well, what's not to like. Exciting cuisine to tickle your palate, around every corner basically a new appartment to explore, including kitchens where nobody cares, if you touch aplliances emitting heat in real life or experiment with breakables (actually we encouraged him to go wild, since we were kitchen shopping and wanted him to act as a real life stress test). Plus the added benefit of one of those strange Bavarian holiday weeks with Kindergarten open and both daycare and editorial offices closed, which meant - mon and dad all for himself!



He even good naturedly put on a silly hat, while older boys broke into tears, when they actually had to wear one, because their initial glee about wearing a stuffed animal on their head acutally resulted in a purchase.
