Their School




Nate has adjusted nicely to school, has friends and I have been elevated to the rank of mommy's that have kids that have homework to do!!! He was quite keen to do his homework except that we do not have crayons in the service apartment... got to go buy some on the weekend.

They have assembly on Fridays and a little performance, am not sure what stage they are at but it sure lacked the organisation of Broadacres, they do however have fancier gadgets like microphones... the PTA has and overhead projector linked to ones computer... I do miss that farm school where everything is basic and slapped together! At this place, the administrators do not seem to speak to the teachers and the offices are so far!

Ike will start school next week. He will be the youngest, as he is not fully toilet trained (nearly there), olivia will be there with him to ask if he needs to pee or poo and then we can be quite consistent, he only wears diapers to sleep now and has improved alot in the 3 days but when he is playing he doesn't remember. I debated for a long time whether to keep him home and train or to send him and olivia, well olivia doesn't have too much to do at the service apartment and Ike already calls his class, "his class".

We got his uniforms too...

Nate is learning chinese at a rate of a word a day now... waiting for the exponential factor to kick in! so mommy has to do homework and speak chinese maybe even get a chinese GPS! wow I can't imagine homework already...
