DAY 5 & 6

Tuesday 27th July

Our little Y was so tired when he came home from school that I suggested he watch a DVD and asked him to pick one by pointing at his choice. STAR WARS it was.

Within 5 minutes his head had dropped to the side and he was fast asleep. I lay him down without any objection and he slept for 90minutes.

We had to wake him up for Activity Day at Church at 6:00pm.

I believe he had a good time joining in the activities of First Aid and running around. We had Lasagne for dinner which he ate heartily.

M came home with 2 uniforms lent by the school. They are too big and need adjusting.

It looked like she had played the violin while we were out at Activity Day.

Wednesday 28th July

Everyone slept in again today so I had to make 2 trips out this morning.

I washed M's clothes and tidied up the room, unpacking the remaining clothes from her suitcase and putting it under the table so she could use her table.

I made her bed which had become quite dishevelled.

The school had a sausage sizzle for the Japanese students and their families. It was well catered. Many of the children eating 3 rolls and sausages, drizzled with onion and grated cheese.

We received a box of chocolates from the school for hosting the children.

We had homemade Pizza tonight which was a hit.

M's parents successfully got through on Skype tonight. They are on an island on the West of France having a holiday child-free. Today was their joke day. Coming up with as many jokes as possible. They spoke to M for an hour in French. My J said she understood most of it so she was able to resolve many of the concerns expressed.

We have discovered that she doesn't know what Lamingtons or Pavlova are.

As we gathered for family prayers I was trying to say to Y thank you for coming into our home in Japanese. The kids were laughing at me, saying I pronounced Japanese words with a French accent.

M is following our night scripture reading of the Book of Mormon in French. No questions.
