Jason goes to the U.S.

Jason went to the U.S. on Monday so this week has been just the girls, Watson and me. We managed pretty well this time. With the kids getting older it is easier to handle everything alone when Jason is away. Having the car was also helpful too. The girls were really good about getting ready in the morning so that we could take Watson out before we left for school. They were also ok with taking Watson out right before bedtime as well. They did end up going to bed a little bit late every night since I tried to take Watson out as late as possible since he would have to wait until 8am the next day to go out again. Luckily we have a dog who can hold it for a long time! We went to my friend Natalie's house after school on Tuesday for a playdate. Natalie's daughter, Ellie, is in Ali's class. She has a son as well who is older than Sofia but Sofia loves playing with him and he is really nice to her. We had a lot of fun. On Wednesday we had an impromptu playdate at my friend Shanna's house. The kids were excited to play especially since they thought we were going straight home from school. On Thursday I brought Sofia to Czech lesson and then headed off to bring Ali to her frist gymnastics lesson. My friend had told me about this gymnastics class so I decided to let Ali give it a try. The class is taught completely in Czech but Ali doesn't seem to mind. She even told me that she was speaking Czech to the kids in the class. The teachers are really good with all the kids and Ali did great. I'm happy that she will have this activity to do while Sofia is taking Czech lessons.
