Vacation!

A week skiing is all I need....After an emotional week for us and certainly for the boys, we need a little break. Todat was their last day at their current school, after the vacation they will start at another. Today was a day of shaking hands at the new school, meet the teachers and then back to the "old" school for a round of goodbyes. They both got from their respective class an amazingly nice keepsake. Maxim, a book made of each kids' hand with a message/drawing. Nathan a book with animals of course, prepared by the kids. We went through it tonight, they want to take them on vacation to show my mum and my sister. They were really touched by all the sweet messages. They had made so many friends at that school. But most of them live in the area so they will see them again. It's just not the same.

They are doing ok with it. We are very happy where they are going. Although it's a big change for them especially in the middle of the year, it is for the best.

So this morning, they both packed a present and wrote a card to their teacher. Maxim's read: Dear Zillah, I was so happy in your class. Thank you. Maxim. I'm glad I held it up together when I read it. I could feel a few tears coming. What you do to your kids sometimes. Not nice. Nathan drew a few of his specialties: scorpions, spiders etc..LOL

The teachers were amazingly nice in making this last day as pleasant as possible for the boys and I am so grateful. I think they were also very touched by the presents and the little cards, which made the boys so proud. They are not entirely sure they want to stay at that new school (they say) but I am alsways amazed by the power of acceptance of kids. I'm really proud of them and how they manage their fear and worries.

So the day went by, at home with Manouk, wondering every minute how they were geting on...Manouk had gotten some checks for some toy store so we went hunting for a present. Everything would do as long as it was......One guess??????????????
