I will soon be going to my first parent's meeting at the kindergarten! How weird is that?! I wonder what will happen there and what they will say. Aivis is thinking that they will ask for some extra money for something. We just have to pay for food for Josh, which is a small amount a month. The government pays for the rest... although I have a feeling they only really cover salaries for the people working at the kindergarten as the facilities look quite sparse... so we will be happy to help. Aivis has told me the piano is out of tune - not that i have heard it myself, but I would be willing to pay for it to be tuned...
Josh is so happy now at kindergarten. He wants to go there everyday and there are now no tears... He even wanted to go this Saturday... we had to say that he had a day off!
He is speaking more and more - not that we can always understand what exactly he is trying to tell us! Whenever he comes home from kindergarten he tried so hard to give us a full description of the day. He seems to be getting on with the other kids quite well. One morning when I took him (when he was still crying each day when we left) one of the older boys emplored him, "Josh - please don't cry!". It seemed to work - not long after that comment, he stopped crying altogether when leaving us in the morning. Some of the girls are always friendly when they see him in the morning - giving him a cheery 'hello Josh!'. So... Josh's world is going well.
