Caden and Miles have been in school in France since September 2015 and it is going well.... ! I really never thought I would say that. I think it has a lot to do with the home environment here and the actual school itself. In a way the circumstances are ideal for the school start here in France, more than anywhere else... I will explain.
Bella and Caden are both 7, approaching 8. They are in the same class at school. Jan and I have encouraged their friendship and they are now very close. They do almost everything together in the way that Miles and Caden used to. They are even having sleepovers in each other's rooms which is so sweet. They have spies night together and get some little privileges like staying up a bit later than the little ones because they are older and things like that.
Here are some photos of the things they were up to in May 2015
We took them to the Exideuil fete
The newborn puppies, we kept two of them.
Marc and Miles are 6 months apart, you can tell that Miles is the youngest but they are both in the same class at school and they both like the same kinds of games. They actually get along pretty well but there are some behavioural issues that have taken a LOT of consistent parenting to make headway with, with Marc and there are a couple of other issues that I now working on with Miles as well. In general they are both doing very well and they take it in turns to play with Caden and Bella and each other. It's reassuring to see them make progress.
One really great thing about having 4 kids all the same age almost is that they all are into the same stuff. If I put Despicable Me 2 on, they all shout 'yessss!' and sit for the film together. None of this, 'its for babies' stuff! It's a real bonus!
So the kids are all doing well, they mostly get along well and the house is slowly becoming beautiful now that all the dirt and rubbish has been removed from it. It is taking time but we feel we are doing well.
