School time
Caitlin has started at Blockhouse Bay Intermediate. She is in Room 15 with Miss Loomens. Allegedly this is the 'smart' class so C is over the moon. Miss Loomens seems very strict ( very much the 'don't smile til Christmas' type) but C is loving it. She has the desk near the window so she is cool. Ashleigh is in the same class, though Ruby is in another class and is very disappointed.
Day One Room 15 had homework. Hopefully I will be able to attach the biopoem.

Getting back to normal!
So finally it looks as though we are through the worst. For the last week Anton has professed to feeling better, with fewer heart palpitations. His eyes seem brighter again and he has more energy. He even played football for the Laingholm parents' and others team last Friday. Well he said he fancied playing one week, so I said "no time like the present". We lost but I was impressed by the way he played.
Today was Roo's first day back at school, his first day in year 5 and his first day in Room 9 with Miss Swan. He walked in and immediately looked for Rowan's desk. Rowan is his hero. In fact I swear Roo is more like Rowan than Rowan is. When we first met him, Rowan had long wavy hair, he wears the same clothes almost all the time ( probably doesn't sleep in them like Roo is prone to do) and he is really into gymnastics. Roo says he has had a brilliant day, that his teacher is fun ( firm but fair- my words not his) and he did Indian ink work in art. For Reuben to even mention what he did at school is amazing!
Caitlin doesn't go back till Wednesday. Today was a little challenging. I took her for a haircut and the stylist cut it a bit short. I think it looks dead cute but she is so worried about it. She said she really wanted to look her best for school and now feels like a boy. Of course all the adults like it and her friends did their best to cheer her up when we went to pick up her brother.
I did get her school skirt turned up to a more acceptable length, so it is no longer past her ankles, and I completed her 'reversible, drawstring PE kit bag complete with embroidered name', all whilst watching Doctor Who and eating cheese on toast.
Right now we are down at the school pool cooling off after a hot day. A benefit of being part of the IT team is that I have the network password and so can surf the net whilst 'supervising' my kids. The only downside is that Facebook doesn't get passed the security filter!
