Yay for bigger roads!! I have been keeping the driver in the center thing in mind and I think (hope!) that the corners are intuitive based on that. I should brush up on the US road rules though My friend is a non driver so it is all up to me.

Bummer about the tantrum. Sounds pretty spectacular! It always makes me feel better when I see someone else's kid is having a go - it isn't just mine that are walking disasters lol. Is M getting overwhelmed by all the different that is going on? Does she have a lead up where you can tell it is going to happen or is it a sudden switch?

E's play centre has been cancelled for the rest of the week and possibly the end of the year because there was a horrific outbreak of a V and D bug. Tuesdays usually have about 18 kids, this week there were 2! Those that don't have it are too scared of catching it. It was just a few kids to begin with but went like wildfire after the christmas party.

And life has made my schooling decision for me - there are no girls returning to W's school next year so it would be plain mean to send A there. She will start at the future school and I will have to juggle the two bus runs I guess. She is totally excited about starting school
