I really like hosting so that was good. Everyone has some kid or family drama every week! I shouldn't be surprised by that, but in my old Bible study we never really had time to talk about those things. I can't go into detail, of course, because of confidentiality. I also recommitted to studying Spanish, so that is taking a lot of time. We have had some families over from church, so hopefully that will turn into a small group.
Wyatt got bored at recess and jumped the fence to the forest. There were four other kids with him (including Tristan), but he was the only one who got a note sent home. His teacher wants him to play soccer and get along with the other kids. My kids hate soccer and team sports in general, because of all the cheating. The other mom in my Spanish class said that her kid says the same thing.
Winston had a friend over this weekend, and I heard him speaking Spanish for the first time. We were puzzled about the child's name. I wrote a note to 'the mother of Fechal,' and she wrote back, 'I'm the mother of César.' I tried to tell Winston "It's César," but he insisted it was Fechal, until the kid was sitting right there. They had a great time.
I feel bad about complaining so much about school. Now Troy wants to move them to the American School. I think I have a quota of ill-will and it all gets focused somewhere, usually at teachers and authority figures. This time it was the school. It is hard but it is worthwhile! We decided not to because he doesn't feel that strongly about moving them and I feel pretty strongly about not moving them.
I hope everyone gets this with the new email group.
