Josh and I had a lot of fun this morning doing letters and numbers on the whiteboard. He is really good at drawing his numbers and I was encouraging him to change his Hebraic form of writing to an English one!! - He writes his name from left to right but he got it in the end! He seems much more ready for school and I only hope we can last out the year without major frustration! For some reason he also knows how to spell hot!! I have no idea where he has picked it up from.

Tonight at dinner the kids started talking about "When we are back in England..." Rose really wants to see snow (they are doing weather in class right now), she also wants her pink bed set and curtains back in her room. Naomi wanted to know if she had a bed in England. I told her she had a cot but she would have a bed next time! She said it had to be pink too. Josh wants to splash in the mud with his wellies on. Josh is beginning to remember less about England and Naomi has no idea at all!
