1. Phew I have found my way into the blog, after many attempts and an email to you. I notice you are out of office. Out of what!! early bird wanting to close down already,
2. I have a grandson who is like a limpet. Everywhere Isaac goes Grandma has to follow. Very flattering but a little tiring. We are working on the English. Clear pronouncation you understand.
3. This morning I went to the Kindergarten - only ten children there at the moment. The holiday season has begun and they close for August. I am not surprised considering how hot it is here.
4. We had breakfast a slice of bread and jam. Just a slice of bread for me. Did not know what languages were buzzing around. I had to speak French as there is a small Belgian girl there and staff do not speak French. The children all seem to adapt to the language spoken at the school. I could see that Isaac understands Serbo-Croat to some extent. The staff are concerned that three languages will be confusing, but he does not seem phased. His words are beginning to form and we occasionally get two together.
5. I watched the video of the school performance - quite a spectacle. Written and composed by an actor. We had a tele vision star singing. No small affair. I had to ask for a translation so I could explain to the parents.,
6. Now back at the house for a few minutes peace. I have Thursday and Friday and then that will be the lot. Both in our ways will be pushing and caring.
7. I wish you a good Lourdes trip and hope your room-mate is amiable.
Montenegro remains the same.

1 I've registered what you said about the languages in the kindergarten. Confusing to the child? I wonder. My guess is that the child will cope in the way that we'd expect a child in England - in Tower Hamlets - to cope with the presence of different accents in the room and different vocabularies. In an unconscious way, the child may just be getting on with it.
2 However, think more about it. Listen (even more) carefully to what the young man says. Evidence of a mixture of different vocabularies?
3 When you return, turn to Piaget.
