on the way to school in the morning...

Millie on the bus going to school. As we are STILL in our temporary apartment (that's another post... we've had 3 move in dates, the 1st one was May 24th. It will be worth it because our new place is GREAT, but the waiting... oh, the waiting!) we have a bit of a commute in the morning from the city over the hill to the South Side. This one is a double decker, now when she sees a regular bus she says "Mommy, look at that tiny bus! It's missing it's top."

Millie had her first job interview today. Ok, well it was a school interview. They are very serious about it here. 'You want to go to kindergarten? You need to pass our screening!' Currently she's enrolled in a Montessori pre-school but needs to switch either this year or next to go to kindergarten.

Her 'screening' today was at Hong Kong International School, which seems a lot like Branksome but with boys and Chinese Studies. Jeanette, as a seasoned IB primary teacher, wrote her a lovely letter of support and based on the laughing and singing I heard through the door her interview went fine. I will let you all know if we get accepted. If not she'll stay at Woodland Montessori through 2011 and go to start at a new school in Senior Kindergarten instead of Junior.
