Oktober 7, 2010 (thursday)

This morning Luna put on her 'Strawberry shortcake' shirt. It's just a pink shirt with a strawberry on it. It's one size too small, where her belly pops out of the shirt a little bit. She was watching Strawberry Shortcake on tv so she wanted to wear her 'Strawberry Shortcake' shirt. It was too cute.

The boys didn't have soccer tonight. Tomorrow starts Josiah's Herbst (Autumn) break for two weeks. He only goes to school for two hours tomorrow.

I went to Elee's class tonight for a parent meeting. It was good. All in German. I drove with Sabrine, a girl from our town who has a girl in the same class as Elee. I asked the teachers how Elee was doing and they said he is not doing well and that he needs help. I'm glad my friend that I rode with was there to help translate for me. Afterwards, we actually had to go to her house where her husband could translate what she said since her husband speaks better English. Apparantly, his behavior is getting worse and he's made no friends. I feel so bad for him. So I need to go there and be with him for several days or weeks. Sabrine offered to watch Luna and I will take Pace. I think Elee not knowing the language has been a huge hurdle for him but he starts lessons after break. If you pray, please pray for him and his transition with his kindergarten class. And also that he'll make some good friends. Before they kept telling me to give it time, but I'm very frustrated that they haven't made any suggestions until now and that's only because I asked. So now I will go to his school to be a presence there and help him get familiar with his class. I really hope it helps and I'm so thankful for my friend Sabine and her husband and their caring hearts.

  1. I feel so sorry for Elee. I am sure having you go to class with him will help a lot. It's too bad you have to do that, but then you will see what goes on and may come up with some ideas on your own on how to help him! I can't believe they haven't given you any suggestions before then...Grammy Rox needs to come set up her own school in Germany! :) I love Luna's "Strawberry Shortcake" shirt! Glad to hear you have the tickets booked for when we are there! It will be a fun time with the kids! Miss everyone!!!

    Lizzie has some funny pictures on Facebook...I'm going to tag you so you and the kids can laugh at pics of daddy!
