Puppets, teeth and a B diploma

C. is turning 4 in a couple of weeks and slowly we are beginning to convince her how great it is that
1. she will get a new bed (the boxes are in her room now and that's when we found out the bed is 10 centimeters too tall for the place we had in mind.)
First she was crying that she didn't want to say goodbye to her old bed and that she liked the way she had to climb in and out.

2. she can go to "de Basisschool" where her 2 brothers already are.
I must say, apparently we do a good job because even T. is now quite enthusiastic when we start about it.
On the other hand the other day when I took her with me to bring the boys to school I said to her "shall we go in and meet your teachers"
No, she said, we're her for T.

3. She can start judo

4. she can be put on the waiting list for swimming lessons.

5. and as she said this morning; she can also have horse riding lessons.

6. And now that she is almost leaving toddler school, she could take home "Puk" one of the puppets for a weekend over.
However, after initial enthusiasm Puk lost his trousers and his book and she couldn't be bothered too much to look after it.

This morning M. could hardly eat his sandwich because one of his front teeth was so loose, it almost fell out.
In fact I tried to pull it out but it was too slippery.
You have to put your nail at the top of the tooth against my gum he said.
No way honey I just don't dare.
Then he sort of tried (Austin and I didn't dare look) but didn't succeed.
Now he does have Judo this afternoon so if it isn't out by then maybe one of the other kids can "help"

But...
the biggest news of all;
this Saturday he can do the trial swimming for his B diploma.
YES.
Finally.

To be continued.
