Sonja got aa lot of stuff for her birthday
For school work, we still write mostly in German. I am still very unsure about the homeschooling, actually more than before. I think academically Leilani is well on track to start 2nd grade, but I would want to hold her back if she went back to school and make her go to first grade. (It’s complicated.)
Most of my friends are neutral and I am thankful for that, a few give good and worrisome arguments why Leilani should be back in school, and a few think it’s awful that Leilani can’t spell in English, and think if I don’t put her back in school at least I need to hire a tutor…
Sonja: “Leilani, give me an example of a solid.” Leilani: “A block”
Sonja: “Good. A liquid?” Leilani: “Water”
Sonja: “Yes. And a gas?” Leilani: “A fart!”
Conclusion: It’s good that we are homeschooling. Although the other kids might have appreciated that more than the teacher…
A beautiful daygecko moved in next to Andy’s office.
Back then the Poinsettas were really beautiful.

We wanted to pick up trash, but that was a habitat.
