Joe has now started at a local Kindergarten. Almost as highly anticipated as Christmas! He is thrilled to be making friends and has a chance to play with loads of new toys. He is particularly impressed with the "real saws, real wood, real hammers and real nails!!". No problems in the morning, Ben and I are usually dismissed with a "you can go now". He was a little upset first day when he described how some of the boys had told him that he had a 'silly voice', but I'm sure he'll be talking Kiwi before we know it.
The World Buskers Festival has just finished and we took in as many shows as we could. Joe and Ben loved the 'Amazing Drumming Monkeys' and we are now subjected to the soundtrack every time we get in the car. Ben and I were targeted by the 'Blackstreet Boyz' at one show when Ben decided to shout and blow raspberries! - very embarrassing - especially when he was lunging toward them and they said 'look she can't wait to get away'. Must be time for that first haircut!
Last weekend was the Tip Top Kite Festival taking place on the beach at the end of our road. A really impressive turnout of all sorts of kites, big and small. Ben and Joe took turns flying their kite and we were amazed to still have it by the end of the afternoon!
We are now into our last few days in the retro house. Everyone is looking forward to our furniture etc arriving on the 11th. Keys are handed over on the 8th so we have a couple of days to get organised and transfer our ever growing pile of stuff. There is no way its going to fit into the suitcases we arrived with!
