Here are some
highlights of Matilda’s life from September until December 2011. Our little
girl is now over 2.5 years old and talking, singing, negotiating, playing
football, building sand castles and the like. She’s going to ‘school’ every
morning now, which you could compare to a pre-pre-nursery (peuterzaal), and
enjoying very much. These were the months during which Matilda...
...was being potty
trained by a team of patient supporters, including her father, mother, nanny
Nida, and her grandparents LC. She is now the proud wearer of bright-coloured
underwear with cats and dogs and rabbits...
...spent time with
friend Luca...achterop de scooter...
...spent a night in the Omani desert – never a dull moment
...celebrated the
newly arrived furniture shipped from the Ikea store in Dubai...
...started to teach
the newly obtained skill of being potty trained to her peers, now being a patient supporter herself
...was impressed by
the arrival of St. Nicholas, not only at home – with grandparents B. – but also
at PDO club during the traditional annual arrival of St. Nicholas and the
corresponding distribution of pepernoten
and chocoladeletter goodies
...participated with vigour
in the Christmas celebrations at De Karavaan, her school
...enjoyed Christmas
in company of friends and family
...was being
incredibly helpful in the household with doing the dishes.
...and dressed up like Tom
and Jerry – we had never seen her that ecstatic before!
Hopefully the year 2012 will be again full of little and big steps in Matilda’s life!
