Curly Sue?



I decided to put Sidney's hair in curlers last night. As you can tell from the first picture, it was a bit frizzy when I first took it out. I used a little of Kimber's Frizz Control mousse and it calmed down nicely.


Our first week of school went well. Sidney seems to be settling into the class routine. I also am getting used to being in class with a group of 4- and 5-year-olds. They are actually a lot of fun, though it does seem a bit like cat herding at times. I also am working on getting the medical supplies and facilities fixed up, and am enjoying that aspect of the work. This week I will begin doing the baseline assessments for the Reception class.

We attended a barbecue at our pastor's family's farmhouse yesterday. While there was rain most of the time, it was still a lot of fun, and the food was great. Sidney burned lots of energy running around, and everyone sang happy birthday as well. We roasted marshmallows and enjoyed the scenery in between rainstorms.


Sidney attended a birthday party this afternoon for a little girl from her class. The parents did a great job keeping 10 four-year-olds engaged and uninjured for two hours. We all had great fun, and it was nice to meet some of the parents I had not yet met.

Kimber is offshore until tomorrow, so we will be waiting to celebrate Sidney's 4th birthday until she returns. We plan on visiting Kongeparken (King's Park) next weekend. It is an amusement park, and seems to have several things that will work for Sidney. Jinni is here again and will be joining us. (Jinni also brought us jalapenos and serrano chilis - yes!)
