G'Day from the land of Oz!
Hi ladies!
It's been a while since I've popped on to see how life in Dubai is going.
For those who know why I left, DS began prep school today :) Such a better and more supportive start than last year. In fact, we've spent a few weeks with the headmaster getting him adjusted to school life in a bid to make today easier. He only went for a shorter 'get to know you' day today but he seems happy. Still a lot of energy and a long way to go, but at least it's with the helping hands of the school and myself working together for him. My daughter is really happy here, too!
He's still in karate and this past week he was only told to focus once, a big jump from the 20 times last year per class.
We were not affected by the floods but several of the family members were blocked into property, one house went under. Huge clean up ahead but everyone is helping and it makes you proud to be a part and it's good for DS and DD to see how supportive people can be of each other when need be.
I hope Dubai has been as enjoyable! DH just left, he stayed here a bit longer than he planned to so he could help with the clean up (I know, imagine an Emirati helping clean up QLD! But, he helped and worked away with all the old Aussie men who spoke to him about Sheikh Zayed!) He'll be back again in a month or so and then later this year I'll be back with the kids and hopefully have the foundation to have DS ready to begin a school there.
It's tough being away from DH but we'd do it again any day to see the progress of DS.
I don't think there's a cure for behavioural issues but they can be controlled as I've discussed with some people.
Here's hoping!
Ozzy
DR I read your post about the Queen and nearly spat tea onto my computer! Even my mother read on and she was not happy that they hadn't told you about the attire! :)
