It's been a busy time. We're leaving Monday morning for our 25 day trip back to the states. I'm really excited. I haven't been home in a year and it makes it all the more special this year being pregnant. The morning after we arrive, I have an appointment with an OB Doctor out there. I'm hoping to get an ultrasound while I'm there so we can find out the sex of the baby. I've invited my Mom to come with us thinking it would be nice for her to experience (considering she's missing so much with me so far away). Now, my sister has asked if she can come. It's turning into quite the event! I'm going to be so embarrassed having so many people come with me for a routine Doctor's appointment, but I didn't want to say no. I only hope that my brother and step father don't ask to tag along as well! Those who know me, know that my family isn't always so supportive so, I'm going to take advantage of the enthusiasm while it's there because you never know when it might change!
The other mother and I went into the school to meet with the teacher and the assistant head. We both let them know how upset we were that we were not informed that our children were sent to the office and how much we were against the children being allowed to play fighting games on the playground. I told them I wouldn't allow it at home and I'm really unhappy that it's being allowed at school. They admitted it was a problem and explained that they are planning to introduce a a scheme to teach the children to play in a safe way. They will be calling it 'Super Hero Training'. They plan to give out capes & masks out to children who behave well as rewards at playtime. They will have assemblies where they will teach the children to play fighting games without making contact. I find this to be absurd. The problem has gone on to long and I doubt they will be able to teach little children to change their games when they have sixty other children to look after on
