Good day today.  There was an 'icecream social' after school at 1200 in the school playground.  That is where we met the American woman who had adopted her two kids.  We ended up heading back to our place where the three mothers (another one came along) had a good chat (I was at the dentist most of this time) whilst the kids played for 90 minutes, played very well.  Then after lunch and 30 mins of downtime, Joey and Izzy were out again playing with the local kids until dinner.  All went very well.

And Ms Hofman was v pleased with Joey's behaviour at school.  And we were able to watch him play and interact with the other schoolkids during the social and he was v comfortable.  Full of energy and running around and very much participating on an equal basis.

Finally, when Anne asked Joey this evening what he wanted to do tomorrow - stay in school all day or have an extended lunch at home, he chose to stay in school.  Hurray!
