School and Kings Park

Today I drove the boys to their Dutch nursery class in Mount Claremont. A small group with a nice young teacher called Anneke. They only rent the room in a community centre so she has to carry in the toys. Today the talked about fruit. The boys were happy for me to leave so I could concentrate on grocery shopping. Beautiful fruit and vegetables, big and green. It's all very expensive though, but we knew that already. Still 20 degrees and showery today but only saw 2 showers so mostly a warm sun. Sat outside waiting for the boys and met some of the other parents. All seemed really nice. Juf Anneke told me they were fine but a bit wild. Guess Willem wasn't impressed with the toys (duplo, a jigsaw, colouring and some building blocks). He needs a bit more challenge. And they're not used to being in one group together. Luckily she did some nice activities with them so it wasn't all bad...Told juf Anneke to bring something with numbers for next time! The boys are still a bit jet lagged. Last night Frank slept through for the 1st time but Willem was still up between 10.30 and midnight (that's already better than between 10 and 3 am!). No naps during the day so I hope they're back to normal tonight. This afternoon we drove to Kings Park, a huge park and bushland in the centre of Perth, right behind our apartments. Playgrounds, stunning views of the city and lots of beautiful plants and trees. We saw Banksias, Gumtrees, a  green Parakeet and a Kookaburra! Tomorrow afternoon Georgi, the relocation agent is going to drive me round to view some more properties but there is just not much on the market and lots of people looking for a house...
