summer vacation

Well, the boys' summer vacation has started. Stoney got an excellnet report card with his highest grade in Dutch -which you wouldn't expect- and his lowest grade in PE -which you also wouldn't expect-. But of course we figured out that he didn't do well in PE because he doesn't follow instructions. "Wadda ye mean, I have to do a summer salt? I wanna pretend to be Kong-fu Panda!"
About Monty... Well, luckily kindergartners don't get report cards here. LOL. Although other then some behavior issues -see previous posts- he is not bad at school work. He is just very insecure. He always says that he can't do something and frequently has a meltdown before he'll finally attempt to do what the teacher asks him to do, and then what do you know, it turns out that he can do what she asked him to do just fine... Something tells me our problems with this little boy are far from over.



For the first couple of weeks of summer break the boys will go to a Day Camp for three or four days a week. I am at work of course and Leland has Dutch class in the morning most days. Besides, if they had only each other to play with for two months I am not sure the four of us would survive the summer.
They love the day camp - it's the same they went to last year. It's out by an old monestary in the forest and they have a great time. They come home - very tired - but also full of stories about games and friends they made. This day camp has their own busses that pick kids up and we live realy close to one of their stops. Best part is, it only cost $4 a day per kid. It's an absolute steel!!
So far, there have been no pooping issues on Monty's side at the Day Camp. Thank goodness. Fingers crossed, he'll behave himself for the rest of the summer. Or even better, for the rest of his life!
