Maddie's In!!

We got notice that Maddie Mae was finally accepted to the Singapore American School. She is really excited. Only problem is that the acceptance doesn’t start until next school year. This girl needs to get out of the house!! She is so much more happy when she has social time with her friends. She misses Reagan and Owen and wishes they could come play with her here in Singapore. Poor girl.

We are connecting with a friend from Fairfax that lives across the street from us so we can walk over. The Allens have been here since October so they are a little more settled than us (i.e. they have toys to play with). When we went over last Monday for the first time the smile on Maddie’s face was absolutely priceless. I could tell she felt like she had walked into an alternate universe from the world she is living in. There were more toys than she could hope to play with in a month as far as she could tell (i.e. they had more than three small things per kid which is what we’ve got here).

I am grateful for little girl friends in walking distance for now and incredibly grateful that the schooling situation is worked out for next year at least. I’m still asking around for referrals on schools for the remainder of this year. Our contract was finalized today on the house so I can move forward with more assurances that I know what neighborhoods to look in now for public preschools. There is a Joy School group in the neighborhood we’re moving too so if there is room maybe we can do that if none of the neighborhood preschools have space.
