One month on, we are nicely settled in our home here. We have all that we need for now, and what we need for the colder months ahead are coming with K's parents next Tuesday! Garage sales are a great thing here too! I happened to look out our kitchen window today and noticed that a neighbouring house was having a garage sale, so I walked over and managed to find some nice warm clothing for J: four pairs of pants, one pair of jeans, one fleece pullover; a pair of pants for E, and a small blanket for the kids to use while in the stroller so that they'll still be cosy when we go out in the fall and winter. All in good condition and ALL for US$7. ONLY. Very pleased.
One month on, J still continues to get excited whenvever the train goes by. He gets a good view from his bedroom window. So wherever he is in the house, once he hears the train's whistle, he scuttles off, rushes to the window and stands on tippy toes for the best view. Then he'll come tell me what he saw - passenger train, double-decker train, goods train. The first few days, while he was still getting used to the layout of the house, he used to run to the wrong room. Quite funny. If we're outside, then he'll insist on running to the end of the driveway to look. I do wonder if he'll manage to keep this up for the whole year.
One month on, E is talking more. Her words aren't always clear but you can still make out Dada when she points to K, beh for ball, gah gah for kor kor, and Meh or Ma for me. Very cute. I think she's put on weight too. Carrying her is no joke! And watching her play with her kor kor is lots of fun. It's great to see the two of them interacting with each other. (A little less fun when they're fighting over toys though.)
One month on, I'm getting used to cooking more often! And I've managed to drive myself to the grocery store (it's easier to go without the kids, then we don't have to stress about keeping them entertained while we try to get groceries). I'm slowly getting used to driving, but it still stresses me out. The drivers here are impatient! Oh and I've started pilates again. Yay!
One month on, K's getting settled back into being a student again, doing his reading and handing up homework! He also gets to spend lots more time with the kids now, than when we were back home. I think he's enjoying the time with them.
