I may not be totally incompentent

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

Hannah was vomiting last night so she stayed home with me rather than going with Rocio and Grace to a party (and then shopping). I made chicken soup for lunch, but of course she wasn’t interested.After a several futive attempts to get her to eat - I came up with a solution - turn lunch into a game, where I served her the soup through the window of her cubby house (which is on our balconey).

Grace finds a school

Friday, June 25th, 2010

Much to our relief our four-year-old was offered a place at our local Catholic school. To our surprise it’s quite competitive to get in. It’s a systemic school, ie, just a regular school that’s near to our home), so we were surprised when we were told by one of the pastoral team that Grace might not get a place, and to be ready for that possibility.
