Day 1694. Sammy now continues having horse therapy every Monday morning for a few more weeks, so he did not go to kindergarten this morning. Instead Randy took the other two straight to their kindergarten, meaning they got there earlier than usual. Sammy stayed home with me. When Randy came back home, he had just a little time until leaving the house with Sammy at 10 am to take him to his horse therapy. I enjoyed the quiet working until they came back home at 11:45. Then it was Sammy and me by ourselves again, as Randy left right away to pick up the other two from kindergarten, who therefore came home earlier than usual as well.
And that was a good thing as we already had to leave the house at 2:30 to go to ball-playing class. It's the class where Sammy can have fun as well without being enrolled. It was the last warm day, and dark clouds were already in the sky as we went to the school. We were the first ones there, arriving 10 minutes early, and went into the gym, where the teacher had already put the different balls out. The kids started playing ball right away.
After a few minutes of free play, the teachers gathered everyone on the big mat in the middle and told them what their first game was gonna be. Without having heard the instructions, it wasn't quite clear to me, but there was lots of running involved. Sammy had left us and crawled to the bit mat, then he spotted the cones and hoops and went there.
After the game they gathered again and explained the next game - the bears and the bees. It was another game of lots of running, and the kids had lots of fun. Then the teachers set up an obstacle course that went round the room and they included the vaulting box that they had to walk up to on a bench and then jump off of. Then they added some fabric they had to catch while jumping off. They also put a thick mat inside some hoops and moved them while they had to crawl through, which was lots of fun. Sammy also wanted to jump off the vaulting box, and Sammy took him there and helped him jump off, which he greatly enjoyed. Then he crawled to the ladder on the wall and pulled himself up into a standing position. Randy went to him and helped him climb up the ladder.
And then the class was already over. When we left the building, it was raining. Only Tammy and Emmy had their umbrellas with them, and the strong wind ruined Emmy's. We ran to the tram stop and were happy, when the tram arrived right away. When we got to the subway, Randy needed to go buy some bread at the grocery store. Tammy wanted to wait for him, while Emmy wanted to go home, as it had gotten cold with the rain. Sammy was the deciding vote, and he wanted to go home, so we did. Randy arrived a few minutes after us, and he went downstairs with the kids.
My 4:30 pm student had canceled, so I had some time until my 5:30 pm student. I then taught until 6:20, and the kids were already back upstairs. I went to the kitchen to make their dinner, starting our daily evening routine.
