May 2016

We went for a walk through Clarendon and brought the boys for haircuts.

It was Adrian's first visit to the hairdresser and he didn't like it very much. The noise and all the strange people scared him. The lady was very good with him though and he calmed down.

Nora started playing soccer with her pre-K last week. They meet once a week, one Friday afternoon, to play soccer and exercise for 45 minutes.

Yesterday's session -- her second -- was cancelled due to the rain. Today we kicked the ball for a while, it was fun. We we went by bike and afterwords we went to Trader Joe's.

It was raining yesterday and it was raining today. It's May but this week there's not a lot of sun. When I came home I bicycled through the rain and got soaking wet.

I read Curious George to Nora -- translating it real-time to Nieuwsgierige George and then Wat ben ik? to Adrian. We had rice with chicken for dinner, and so did the boys. With a little bit of Indonesian peanut sauce. I read Het ei and the baby version of Pluk to the boys, meeting my self-imposed minimum of one book per child per day.
