Ike has had 2 bottm teeth sprout out about a month ago and now the next two bottom teeth are coming out too. He's been a grumpy little pot. The african's say if they have teeth young they are supposed to be quite intelligent. I've also stopped using a swaddle for him.
Nate on the other hand now runs like all kids here, barefooted. he started going to school with sneakers on (tekkies they are called here), then i got a note saying that its summer and all kids should come in slippers. Now as soon as he gets to school he takes off his slippers and races barefoot to see the geese (whom he calls donald duck).
Today, peter our gardener's sister will arrive to work for us on trial. If she is anything like her brother, who is nice, Nate likes him and he is diligent, honest and trustworthy then we would be on the right track.
Nate has a new girlfriend here, she just turned 2 and he went to her birthday party, her name is Sophia. They moved recently from Surabaya in Indonesia, her mom is polish and her dad is american. Looks like we will have more than enough families with kids here to have afternoon playdates. One of the mom's told me about another nursery school near us that resembles a farmyard, where they have farm animals and also classrooms, which sounds quite interesting. Will have to check that one out.
It was Olivia's birthday yesterday and we took her to Moyo, a nice african restaurant, which we will bring all visitors and tourists when they come visit. They sang her happy birthday with drums and in native african fashion and we also had our faces painted with little dots, hers was a flower, ike had a little caterpillar and nate was too shy to get one.
Today i finally went to the birdpark and its not far from where we are. Outside the birdpark is a big balloon ride, it goes up to 120 meters, another tourist attraction for those who want to go way up there. The birdpark is really nice too, seems more lush than KL, its smaller but neater and cleaner and less smells.
