Big boy Bren has started nursery! =)
Hi,
Well last week Brendan had his first two days at barnehage (nursery) and loved it!
I am so pleased he is getting the interaction he needs from other children and there is so much for him to do there. He is just going for two days a week at the moment but we may increase this as he seems to love it so much. There are 8 children in the 0-3 year olds section he is in and that is on their full day, they take up to 10 a day so as they are not full I can change his day if I need to one week which is great to have such flexibility.
A girl I know who is from South Africa originally has also just set up an english speaking mothers and baby group and we had our first meet last week too. There are a few Norwegian mums who speak english and want their children to speak english and so play with English speaking children, and some that are married to English guys and have children with them. SO not only have I met more English speaking mums Bren has more english speaking friends too. The group is being run as a bit of fun but she is going to put some structure to it so we will do a story, nursery rhyme, and letter of the alphabet every week.
Now I just have to focus on improving my norwegian!! :roll:
Hope everyone else is good, sorry I don't get on here as often, my two little men are keeping me busy as you can imagine! xxx

i think its good fopr them to interact - they learn so much and have much more fun than being at home all the time with us... fab its only a small group unfortunatly all the nurseries here are massive so fin is at childminder! he's settling well with new chilodminder although cries when i leave him now which he has never done!

we're also hoping to join a few more groups in September while Ive got more time to spend with only zachariah and help us both socially!
Sounds like Bren is doing fantastically and must be nice for you to spend a bit of quality time with Jacob too
Max is being a pest about nursery at the mo - he has only been going 1 day a week over the summer hols and has got really huffy about me dropping him off again even though he loves it - hoping once he is back there more and in his usual routine he will be happy and run off when we get there again!
I am very lucky with Jacob as he is so easy going, I've been extremely lazy today and been on facebook messing around tut tut!! Every time Jacob wakes up though I have made a fuss of him and had a play but he is still sleeping loads at the moment so I am making the most out of it!
My plan today was to go for a walk but it is piddling it down outside so I've given up on that one! xx
I'll be back to work part time again in Sept so I'll be going to the baby and toddler group again and Alfs is going to nursery for a morning on a Fri so I'll get some 'just Gracie' time. In January, Gracie will go to Alfie's nursery part time when I'm at work and part to her ch/m.
Enjoy your little man time Liz, Bren clearly loves his big boy time!
