Emma and Dylan are thriving. We had to say goodbye to their Nanny 2 weeks ago which was quite sad. I don’t think that they really realised that she was not coming back. We have managed to find a wonderful Au pair. She is a young kindergarten teacher who is studying part time this year to become a teacher. Emma and Dylan have taken to her very well. She comes with a whole lot of new fun play ideas and has a lot of energy. You can see the sparkle in the kids' eyes as they experience new fun. Their new care giver came with a list of items that we were missing. Among them was a sandpit.
With all the rain we have been having, La Niña has really been on at full force. South Africa has had its own fair share of flooding along the Orange River. All the rain delayed our outing to go and buy the kids their sandpit. To take them along we had to go in two cars. We eventually got to it today. We were going to buy them a two piece clam shell but the ones they had did not fit together nicely. So we looked at the other options and found this car sandpit that has enough space for both Emma and Dylan. As you can see below they really enjoy it. However just after we finished taking the pictures it began to rain so we had to put the ‘canopy’ up and head back inside.
Their vocabulary has not grown much. Emma has a new word that comes from playing Peekaboo. It is “wezzie” as in “where is he” when Dylan is hiding for example. It is very cute. She also uses this when she is looking for her favourite sleep bear rag doll – “beertjie”.
