Jakob had a new record, he slept until 10 am last weekend!! I blame (or thank...) the ice hockey world championships for that... Jakob has completley lost the plot and stays up watching ice hockey every night utnil nearly 10pm. He just loves it so much so we let him do it... Adam has also been able to leave for work a bit later in the morning so the kids can sleep in a bit. Isak had a new record too the same morning as Jakob, he slept until 11am!! good timing for me who had quite a few drinks at my brother's place the night before when we had dinner there...
Jakob has mother tongue education one hour every week. An English teacher comes to day care and spends an hour playing with him, reading to him, talking etc etc. Every week the teacher sends an email about what they have been up to and how it went. This is the last one:
The weather was wonderful this afternoon and the kids were all running about outside when I arrived. I brought out the cricket bat (foam) and ball
(even foamier) and we got started playing this Noble sport. I was amazed at how quickly they grasped the rules (my wife has never been able to)
and pretty soon they were bowling and batting, taking wickets and scoring runs. Jakob and Eddie seemed to be on top form. Seeing Jakob bowl today
reminded me of the time I saw the great Merv Hughes crush the England team during a test match for the Ashes at Lords. Merv's mustache might have been
another colour (big bushy black as opposed to Jacob's snotty green), and Merv was more than 6 feet tall and built like a brick house where as Jakob
relies more on brain than brawn, but their throwing styles were distinctly similar. At half time we broke for a game of hockey and then I managed to lure
him over to look at a book about sharks (considering that a former Australian prime minister was once eaten by one I felt we had the Australian connection).
We also managed a game of memory before I had to leave.
