Today we went to the playground here in Kallhäll where I live. It was me, Cecilia, my mother, and my friend Jenny (who is also Cecilias godmother). We went there for a reason, the crownprincess of Sweden, Victoria, and her husband prince Daniel were coming for a short visit and of course we wanted to be there to see it, and maybe take some pretty pictures of the royal couple and the growing belly of the crownprincess, she is expecting a little baby next year! We got there a little early so we would have a good place to stand. All of a sudden it turns out the woman who helped organize this event, used to be my principal in school when I was a young child and my mother knew her very well! So she suggested that we could go and sit in the sandbox and play, because the royal couple would actually go and have a loot at the special seats in the sandbox that are made for the handicapped children.
I had brought with me a few flowers that were left over from the christening ceremony, and they were still looking quite good, so I thought Cecilia could give them to the crownprincess. And she came, and not only did she accept the flowers, she wanted to talk for a little, maybe 5 minutes, and played a bit with Cecilia, held her hand, and gave her a flower back to play with. She asked a lot of questions, how old she was, if we come to the park often, and that it is a nice park and that Cecilia was a pretty little girl. She was very easy to talk to and although I was little nervous, it almost felt like talking to a friend, she was so curious and polite about things! Jenny took a lot of pictures for me, and later a woman from the press came and asked for our names and wanted to ask what we had talked about. You can now read about it on this link!
