what for have a made triplets, huh? if all they ever are is elsewhere? they sleep at night, they are away during the day. and inbetween i gotta go to work... mighty sad, such parent life... :)
but enough moaned... finally, we are there: our dragon goes to the SAME kindergarten, TOGETHER now! an integrative kindergarten. for thankfully the respective officials have waived the usual obligation that "normal", healthy kids go to the nearest. so now vicky & collin can hang out and enchant the kindergarten teachers together, all at the same place. which not only gives us soome more ease to breath but also makes for a stronger bond in the dragon. and that, after all, is what was intended. still, it is a strange and difficult feeling, when the big white bus leaves out of our driveway in the morning. wet roads, through the woods, 35 long kilometers... makes you wanna grab the bottle and have a stiff calm-downer right there, a true tequila sun-RISE, so to speak. but that is not always practical... :) so, valerian seems to be the cure of choice. at least collin seems to enjoy it: the drivers report that he lives up to his reputation as RADIO COLLIN, the CHEERLEADER & GHETTOBLASTER, and even the traffiic rules i taught him seem to stick: at every red light he informs his surroundings that now one has to stop. well, looks like they are pretty safe, no? let's just not get rid of the valerian alltogether there, just yet... :)
