The Language School Routine

Well we've been here at Language School for over a month now and are settling into the routine of things. Breakfast is at 7 AM. Then Gina goes to classes from 8 to 12 in the morning. We get to see her at 10 AM for a "tea-break". After lunch we usually try and take a nap but Esther is pretty good at preventing that. At 2:30 PM Gina goes back for more language drills until 4 PM at which time we have another tea break. 

While Mommy is gone Esther and I stay "home". I read her books and we memorize and review our Bible verses. After that Esther plays on her own while I try and get some reading and studying done. Esther is quite "normal" for a 2 year old so naturally, quite a bit of my day is taken up with disciplining and instructing her and teaching her "common sense". (I have found common sense to be quite uncommon in children). I don't know why she can't just behave like an adult (just kidding). Esther loves going to the farm to see the cows and pigs. Esther is for the most part "potty trained" although occasionally there are some accidents. She usually needs a nap in the morning and one in the afternoon, otherwise she gets really grumpy. It is sometimes difficult for me (Luke) to be the "mom" at home so I would appreciate your prayers for me concerning that. 

When Mommy is done with school for the day we try and go for a walk either before or after supper. By 6:45 PM it is almost completely dark so we go back to our room. We usually check email and then have devotions (singing, reading and praying) before putting Esther to bed. Then Gina reviews her notes and does her homework before going to bed.
