New job - hockey mom

We have more or less settled into our new routine, for now. Boys enjoy their kindergarten, have nice naps there, discover "new" Estonian foods, make friends. Grandma has been coming over in the mornings while I drop Beatrice off at school and then I walk the boys to kindy. We all need this little morning exercise to explore the new heapes of snow and ice in the way and get the blood going in -15 Celsius as it is today. And all week long they ask if football is "tomorrow". Unfortunatley only once a week on Sundays so far. Both really eager. We tried a Taekwondo school last week but both of them behaved like real clowns and it is definitely not for them - serious training, not fun as it used to be in Singapore's Hyun TKD. So football it is! Raoul has even adopted his ball as his "cuddly toy" and keeps it in bed.
Beatrice has settled in school well and seems to regain her confidence. She was very worried that she won't be able to understand what to do because her Estonian is not good enough. But she is catching up quickly. In fact I will try to get her moved one year up especially because the level of maths right now is 2 years behind her level not to mention English. She enjoys ballet at school and has lot's of music and art lessons. Has made friends in her class and doesn't want to change class of course. They have separate girls and boys classes, so a new situation in that way as well. The school is in the old town and a it of a maze as it has rooms in different buildings, some of them connected, some not. I think it is quite nice for the kids to get the feel of the old town when they move between the buildings - PE is across the street in the main building, music house on a different street altogether. She goes swimming 3 times a week, which is a bit too much but all swimming schools seem to follow the same schedule.
I have taken up a gym membership and have tryed out some new classes - like bosu (balancing on "half" of a fitness ball), pilates. I also tryed a yoga class with my sister and another one on my own. Will have to see which one to stick with. There is no Bikram studio here although these two teachers I talked to were keen about it. I miss it a lot.
On Sunday we went skiing - cross country. Raoul did amazingly well although it is very different from alpine. He was just so determined. Karl on the other hand just screemed for ages as he kept falling down and was so angry abut it. By the end of the trail he was doing better and calmed down. Beatrice did so and so. Not too bad but she is not very keen. So it seems I will just have to go with Raoul next time. Good exercise if you get to do it full speed. Must have been some 20 years since I did cross country skiing last time.
Yesterday had a night out for the first time - my sister's new film had the premiere together with 3 other documentaries of the same series. Enjoyed it a lot, also the after-party. So a bit tired today...
