Evan and the class went to pick mikans (tangerines) this week, which they all really enjoyed. Nicole and Lauren helped too. The mikan bushes are not very tall and thus they could be picked easily. Nicole pointed out mikans to pick, Evan used the scissors to cut the stalk and then Lauren put them in […]

In Evan’s 3rd week of kindy, when we came to pick him up at 2 o’clock, his first words to me were: Mum, can I stay? Evan seems to relate well to the head teacher, who is a male. He has shown more enthusiasm here than in the whole year at kindy in NZ.

There are more than enough […]

Evan had his first day at kindy yesterday. He did really well. We’ve put him into the Yokohama Union Church school, which is a pre-school centre. It’s in a church in Yamate and is a bit of a bus trip for the kids, but it will be easier once we get a car. Evan didn’t […]

When Evan’s naughty he loses bedtime stories. We start at 4 and every time he’s naughty he’ll lose a story. Sometimes when I phone home from work and ask if he’s been naughty, he’ll ask Mummy how many stories he’ll be getting that night. I don’t like to take stories away, because we have a […]
