TAC and Playdates

yesterday we had a mums coffee morning at School so they took Charlize for a couple of hours. First time to meet the other mums mostly Japanese with foreign husbands. Typically it was Emma and I doing most of the talking. Good that they are going to take C to the toilet with the Chrysalis group so that she is not held back with the potty training. Also asked for an afternoon ballet class as opposed to the one they run now from 12:30 to 1:30 right during nap time. Also its been a nightmare with the menu at school as the Japanese mums want Japanese food and the western mums more western and nobody can agree what should be served. I dont care, the food is actually really really good, very healthy no sugar and well balanced. If C doesnt eat it thats because she doesnt feel like it not because she doesnt like it. The kids are not even 2 yet so there will be days when they simply dont want it I think the mums are making a load of fuss over nothing. Still the school as its so expensive has to show it listens and acts on the feedback. So glad to have delegated the class leader role to Emma and Takako!!! They are moaning about it now though!!!

Emily and Alison popped over in the afternoon and C was grumpy I think she was still ill from the ear infection but after a poo (maybe constipation) she was soon playing dolls house with Emily again. They liked the box that Cliff had made in the morning into a pretend aeroplane!

Today C was in school again and I took Takako, Emma and her sister who is visiting from Korea to the American club where we had a lesuirely breakfast it was really nice. Shame its only gonna last 2 weeks until the trial is up as we cant rustle together 20,000 for the joining fee and another 800 a month ontop of that!!! It apparently has 10,000 members (has to all be corporate) as who the hell can afford that? The Japanese mums at my school probably who all own companies!!!

This afternoon had a playdate over at Silvia and Diegos in Azabu so just across the road. Silvia is expecting a boy in Februay and feeling really sick this time with the preganancy. Donna was there with baby Marianne so it was a mellow afternoon as the kids played ok Charlize is really play acting with toys and animals now so its a bit less intense although she ate all the cake and insisted she NEEDED more cake. When we got home she said she NEEDED cake for dinner too. I am afraid after Italy she is developing her dads sweet tooth. Still her fav foods are still brocolli carrots cheese and pineapple so I not too worries but think we need to have a break from the cake. C is in school again tommorow so off to the flower marlet with Sumire in the car as she has some students to teach over the weekend and I have never been so might be worth a nose around.

Caz sent a mail to say that baby Roman Bruce Townsend was born today but have not as yet had a pic. Also Sarah Maxs mum had Finnegan yesterday weighing in at a whopping 4998!!!

Feel a bit sick tonight probably overate a bit today. Need to watch diet carefully really dont want to gain too much pork. Right exhausted my new bed time these days is 9pm!!!
