This has been another busy week. The boys were off school Monday and Tuesday. (The school takes apparently every chance!) Monday was "youth day" and Tuesday parent-teacher conferences. We went to the Science Centre on Monday with Mia and Alex and had a great day. Discovered a lot that we hadn't seen last time, also took swimming stuff so the kids could play in the water playground which is really great.
Tuesday's meeting was a surprize as I had expected to hear a lot of terrible things about Raoul. Instead the teacher said since the start of this term the boys have swapped their roles with Raoul being good, sitting and listening quietly and Karl disrupting the classes and playing rough. The report referred to last term though and in there Karl is doing very well. Raoul has been not happy to go to school and almost every day I have to lift him into the bus with lots of resistance. At school however he seems to be happy. So I have no clue what is going on.
Yesterday we had a girls day out with Beatrice and went to the Asian Civilizations Museum, just the two of us. Very nice and quiet. The collection there is really impressive, also a lot of interactive and hands-on things to do for the kids. There is a special exhibition from Vietnam and we did a quiz with Beatrice being very good at finding the objects we had to look for. Afterwards we walked over to the Merlion on the riverside to have a close look. We had only seen it from the tourboat before.
