Last Wednesday Nils had his school trip to Plaswijk Park near Rotterdam and Mom had the chance to see him off, he had a great time and the whole week before he was so nervous, he just couldn't sleep. The night before he came down and asked if we knew that we had to get up earler then normal because he had to pack his bag with drinks and all sorts of things you take with you on a school trip.. In the afternoon, dad made it back again from work in time to see him arrive again. Saturday Wende's teacher of the dance club invited her to join them at a demonstration afternoon in Wijk Aand Aalburg. Wende practised at home until the very last minute but once there at the market square she suddenly lost all her courage.. Stage fever.. So we ended up just watching them all from the side but she did shared the lemonade and the sweets the children were given as a treat.. Sunday we had our usual breakfast together and after that dad took Wende to the swimmingpool while Nils and Ingmar styed at home with mom. Ingmar was a bit ill yesterday and the day before so we didn't take him to the swimming pool and Nils wanted to play with dad's old train track. At the swimmingpool we saw Mels, Wende's friend from day care and school. Mels was practising with his dad to jump from the side of the deep end into the water but Wende didn't dare.. Strangely enough Wende had no problem jumping from the dive board..?? In the afternoon dada went to help Niall rig up his new (used) sailing boat. Some pieces were missing and parts of wood were not in a good shape.. Lots to do for him and dad will help him out a little with advice and tools.. Yesterday dad finally did some adaptions to Wende's bike so she can practise to cycle without extra wheels mounted. Mom bougth her a vest with a "handle" on the back so she can hold on to her.
