At Auntie Queenie's

20/11/2007 Tues

Today's plan was to go Auntie Queenie's pace for Montessori with Belle and Joel. When we reached there, there were another 3 boys present with a mother. They were busy playing with the instruments. Kyle and Meryl were told the rules and they quickly settled in . Kyle was easily bored and flitted from one to another but Meryl was very focused on each task she chose to do. They took a break at about 10.30 for light snacks before they started to explore the house. Kyle was intrigued with the cats. I spotted 3 but was told there are 4. Joel's granny read them a book entitled 'The very hungry caterpillar' and then the boys went to climb on a tall structure, all trying to balance themselves. Only Meryl continued doing her task. Her favorite was pouring water from a teapot into little cups and cleaning the mirror! We left at about 11.40 and the kids had lunch and played a little on the computer before they went for their nap.

At about 5 after Meryl woke, we all got ready for our jog. Today's mission was to spot for frogs in the field across our house. Unfortunately we didn't see any but the kids found another mission. They 'rescued' snails by placing them back on the field in case they get stepped on. We headed for Compasspoint library to return and borrow some books. We bought some donuts from Breadtalk as Missy Donut's queue was too long and then shared a large fries from Mos Burger before heading for home. Despite their diligence, we still did not spot any frogs. Kyle complained that it was still too early and that he wanted to follow daddy to jog cos it is late in the evening and he is sure to spot one. I reminded him that he will not be able to keepup with daddy as he jogs very long.

I doubt they will be interested in jogging tomorrow cos they said that their legs are very 'painful' and they don't like to 'perspire'...sigh..
