Day 168

What a day! Started off OK - got Robert off to school OK, then I had a few minutes peace before it was time for me to join Richard at Kindergarden!
All the kids were still excited but you could tell they were tired! Richard had his camera with him and he got some fun shots of the disco they had in their pyjamas!

At the breakfast the kids were also given some presents from the Kindergarden teachers, here is Richard getting his.

The folder contained all the pictures that had been on the walls of Kindergarden over the years. Richard will have been at Kindergarden for 4.5 years when he leaves at the beginning of July, so there are a LOT of pictures in the folder!

After breakfast we went shopping, we needed some food for lunch! We looked at all his things when we got home, he was most excited about the pencil, biro and ruler he got. But he also got a book, some stickers and a few sweeties!

Robert came home then. He told me he is writing a test about telling the time next Tuesday, so I asked him what the time was now. OH DEAR, it was 12:10 and he reckoned it was 2.30 - uhoh! I gave him some more time to work it out, but it just got worse and not better and I was getting slightly annoyed, blaming it all on him not paying attention at school. Then he got his homework out to start on it whilst I was cooking, then he was going to go to see his friend. Mmmh! I had a look at his homework, and it seemed a bit strange he had two sheets copied from a book, and he told me he had to copy them. I of course asked if everyone had to copy them and he shrugged his shoulders - I'm getting really suspicious now - I then asked if it was extra work for being naughty, and at the same time got out the message folder to see if there was anything in there from the teacher - and OOPS, the teacher had written in there. Only I couldn't read it, I managed to determine "In art class Robert ____________ Janina's hair!" In English it is quite obvious what goes in the blank not so in German, so I started shouting at Robert, what did he do to Janina, he finally squeezed out "cut" and "it was an accident" - I DON'T THINK SO!!! And then he burst into tears and I could make no sense of anything - I sent him to his room.
I tried to phone Janina's Mum, but they weren't in, so I then phoned Mum for some calming down, I was livid! Mum calmed me enough that I was able to call his teacher to find out, just what had happened, and phone his friend to cancel his playdate!
So yes, Robert did cut Janina's hair, luckily it is not visible, but that is not the point, his scissors should have been nowhere near anybodies head! MONSTER
He came down for lunch then had to do all the homework and extra work! Then watch Richard be picked up to go to his friend's house to play and watch and help me with the tidying up! He was NOT a happy chappy, but neither was I!

We still have to somehow manage to teach him how to tell time by Tuesday, really don't know how, nothing seems to be going in. Florian is going to try tomorrow, whilst I am out taking wedding pictures!

This evening I watched some NCIS and CSI so that the England team could get on with winning the match against Sweden, it worked! England 3 : Sweden 2!

CU tomorrow!
