Aaron's First Day of School

Monday January 8th was the first day back at school for all the international schools on the island. This is also Aaron's first day at a public school, we decided we needed to take a break from homeschooling for a short while. He was so excited and had no anxieties or fears as we put him to bed the night before. His teacher's name is Mrs. Ong and he is in 1st grade. Ryan is in 2nd grade at the same school, his teacher's name is Miss Jarman. They attend the only Christian school on the island called, International Community School (ICS). It is growing by leaps and bounds in attendance, which is why they changed venues last year. Because people come and go frequently here in Singapore, they accept new enrollments any time of the year.

Let's take a tubby

I have decided to establish a night time routine for Caitlyn in hopes of getting her in bed earlier, eventually. This includes a bath, at around 9:30-10pm. I thought she hated bath time because when I lay her on her little seat she would just complain and cry. Well, one day I decided to put her facing forward, because she seems to like life from her tummy much better than laying on her back. She Loves it!!! I have to admit, it looks kindof weird, but she is so happy! She kicks her feet and tries to swim and can stay that way for 10 minutes or more. Usually my arm gives out by then and we have to change positions, to which she greatly protests. That ends the bath. Here is a picture of her enjoying her bath, and no, it's not torture I assure you, she really likes it this way! And, for those nervous mommies, her face is about a good 6-10 inches from the water!
