Nate's first day at school





Wow the internet sure is fast here, I will be motivated to take and post more pictures! These are not pics of the school yet. Here is the black and white on malcolm road, I'll go take a look at it again this week as our negotiations for the Gurkha house is not going smoothly. I suspect i will still be shocked by the size. Olivia will probably faint. So the house hunt continues...

The playground is in my friend's black and white and she imported it from China and had the contractors build a sand pit. Didn't realise these contraptions are quite expensive. And some pics of the boys in KL in front of the train station, they had old steamies and a diesel that kids can go climb in.

So nate's first day in school, did not go as well as the Chinese Playcenter in KL which had loads of toys upon walking in. The school is more like a school environment. The other kids are already used to the routine and they are cutting ABC's, Nate looked at the whole classroom to not find a single attractive toy, there were some blocks. He did not want to stay! So we went to the jungle gym area, the teacher I spoke to in Nov was there so she let him join their PE session and he then wanted to stay, she'll drop him off at his own class later. I wonder if he'd like this type of school?

A girl there named Grace, likes taking new kids under her wing, she took one look at nate and said to her friend, he is so handsome, I like him already! Yikes, these kissy kissy girls are already after him.

We got into singapore on Saturday, Nate has hit 2 of the 8 pools here. Once we get the car (hopefully tomorrow), we'll be more mobile, I need to figure out how to get on the boat fm here to sentosa island where we can go on the beach... Olivia has her exam today and some orientation thing (ie when the employer is abusing you lecture).

The heat gets to the boys here and Ike seems to still wake at 530 and then naps in the car at 930.
