Children and School


The children started school 2 weeks ago. They really like it. I think the first week they were a little nervous because it seemed most of the kids couldn't speak English well. But I think that they are making friends and getting along very well. Jay is the only boy his age here in the neighborhood with about 4 other girls. He's becoming quite the ladies' man. They come quite often to see if he can come out and play.
The kids start their after school activities today. They have different activities on different days. Jay is doing gymnastics and Tennis. Caitlin has soccor and painting. Rachel is doing an English Lit Quiz team and Rugby, and Nicole is doing softball and Rugby. Things are pretty busy, but they are having fun.
I am enrolling Eli in a Chinese pre-school. He is really excited about it. He will go Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. Maybe he will be able to teach me Chinese! See that little blonde head at the front of the class? There's my little guy. I think this will be quite an experience for him.
