update

This avo Gerry and I have our first Parent-Teacher interview for Alec being in Class 1. He started his first year of real school 3 weeks ago. Had some tough days in the beginning but has blended in well and seems to be enjoying himself. He goes to a local school, and by local I don't really mean 'in the area'. I mean local as in 'from the area' Most expat kids tend to go to the International school. rather upmarket for our budget as Gerrys contract doesn't include basic contract details like education, medical and/or dental. So, we are livin' the dream babee. So, for now, Alec is enjoying life at the Nadi Airport School. Close to his Daddys' work, close to where his little bro' Elias goes to school now. Alecs' old alma matter (is that even a word/s?) The Nadi Airport Playcentre. Elias started on the same day as Alec started so I was back and forth a bit that first day. A few emotions passed through me that day, mostly boredom from sitting in school!....Elias on the other hand was quite at home, almost to the point of giving his teachers(5 of them) high-fives on his way into the school. He had spent the last two years going there with me to be mother helper and was so familiar with the place that he was off and doing his own things without a thought about his Mamasita sitting under the mango tree.
Well, that leaves Vaughn to post about. He has grown a tooth and is working on his second one as we post. He will be 4 months old tomorrow. Which, in Canada, will be the next day, the 14th. Also, coincidentally, the same day we left Canada 3 years ago. Who would have thought I'd be lining up at the local schools wishing, just WISHING, I had a van....oi lei.
post out.
