My first two weeks have been occupied with enrolling Z into after school activities. This is tough... firstly it's the FINDING then CHECKING and TRIALING.
We've had great success with signing Z up for 'Little Athletics'. It's run by the Aussie and NZ club and it's pretty amazing. It's on a friday evening for 2 hours. 2 weeks into the program and she's competing weekly (based on her age) 300 metres, 100 metres, hurdles, shotput, discus and long jump. While Z competes, I have been assigned to 'raking the triple jump pit' for the season. I'm really impressed with the organisation and Z loves it.
We're still in trialing mode with a music school for violin lessons, and a swim class.
Her school offers activities after school and on wed. and fri. afternoons, so Z's chosen Mini Tennis. We're waiting to hear if she gets in.
As a parent I'm finding it really difficult to balance the opportunity for Z to participate in great activities we can't easily do in France, and not overload the poor child... And Z wants to try it all!
