me over the years

in this week's post i'll show you what i've looked like over the years and how i've changed from baby to who i am today.

i was pretty normal and a satisfied baby. i smiled for the first time when i was one month old and laughed when i was about three months old. when i was born, i was 47 cm tall and my weight was 3560 g.

at 1,5-2 years old i ate a lot and fast.

i took my first steps when i was a little over one year old. apparently i clapped my hands in the process. my first word was "kaakuu" which meant swing or rock. other first words were "oho" (oops) and "kukkuu" (peekaboo.) i had a lot of otitis and had to have my adenoids operated.

in kindergarten i was an angel. i was calm and righteous. i already loved drawing at this age. i was social and talked a lot. i asked a lot about many things and i was interested in the world around me and wanted to understand it better. i sometimes even sat down and just thought about things, so i was already quite the same that i am now in that matter.

i remember not always being so righteous and i used to bully some kids when i was in kindergarten and in elementary school. i think i was influenced by some of my friends. i had especially two friends that i bullied someone with. i regret it deeply now. in elementary school i realised it wasn't okay to bully anyone and i remember one specific situation when i realised the people i was bullying didn't think it was fun. i thought it was a game and i was just playing. i thought they knew that and were just playing along. when i recently discussed this with my mum, she was surprised. she didn't know i had ever bullied anyone. 

i used to smile all the time when i was little. my aunt asked me how my cheeks were not hurting since i smiled widely so much.

in earlier grades at school, i talked a lot which disturbed the lesson and my classmates, and the teachers sometimes had to tell me to be quiet. otherwise, i was good at school, except for forgetting to do my homework sometimes.

i've always been kind of boyish. i don't know if it has anything to do with the fact that many of my friends were boys. from first grade to fourth grade i was the only girl in my class. in this little village i live in, the kids my age are all boys, so i grew up playing mostly with boys. i didn't want to be a princess, i wanted to be a troll or a prince.

i loved birthdays. i liked when my relatives and friends all came to visit and i got a lot of attention. and of course i was excited to get presents. it was fun to see all my relatives together in my home, because my dad's family is large and they live all over the country, so some of them don't see each other that much.

dem teeth tho.

fourth grade.

sixth grade. after fourth grade this village's school had to shut down and we had to switch to another school which was nearby. at this age i was shy and it was hard for me to make new friends. eventually though, i got a few friends and the two years in the new school were fine.

and that's all old photos i could find that i'm not so embarrassed to post. i hope you have a great day. ☮
