So, we hired some nannies on Tuesday. Because Caden is so wild the school decided that we needed two. Consider this, in St. Albert you might pay your dayhome lady $1000/month for care everyday. We are paying two girls who will clean, cook, do laundry, etc. $100 each plus $20 for a food allowance. They will not eat with us so they cook our food, go eat on the street and then come back to clean up. In fact, they will not even use out bathrooms. They will leave, go to the nanny quarters and come back.
We did look into enrolling little man in to a preschool. Here, preschool is just that, too. It is math, science and languages for three-year olds. Caden did say that he did not want to go with a bunch of babies. That is because he is twice the size of any other student.
We had to buy a washing machine. The one we found has a maximum capacity of (wait for it) 16 pieces of laundry. We may be able to wash one sheet at a time.
Other then that, confirmed enrollment at the school has ballooned to 70 students. That means that each teacher should have an average of 6 students per class. I have two confirmed grade 10's. That should be perfect because I only have two test tubes for science class.
Sounds fun there guys. We sure take things like laundry and other things for granted don't we? I'm sure you guys will need a bit of time adjusting to the culture shock...and then again when you come back! Good to hear you all are there safely and enjoying the experience.
