Fredrik

We have chosen another exchange student for next year. His name is Fredrik Petterson from NORWAY! I am so excited to have someone come from Norway. He is blonde and very tall and thin, kind of like Sebastian. The middle school and high school had semester exams this week and they got out before lunch Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. It seems almost like vacation again. The TV seems to be on constantly. I love having the kids home. I work so much better when I have someone with me, but it is nice having the morning quiet time. I wish it was like this all the time. I think I have gotten more done this week than I have in a long time. Allison is growing out of her naps. I put her down in her bed for her daily naps at 1:00 and she just plays and sings in her bed the whole time. I was amazed, she did not cry. She found things to keep herself busy, singing everyone's name she knows how to say. It was so cute. I couldn't help but smile and laugh at her. She will fall asleep at 5 or 6 though. She has discovered the TV and loves to watch PBS kids. Yesterday she wanted to get up and turn on the TV and she screamed when I tried to stop her.
