this morning, olivia and i headed out for her school orientation. it was a nice gathering of half of her classmates and their parents. i enjoyed talking with some other moms while olivia played with some classmates and spent some time with her new teacher. i got the schedule for the day and the calendar for the school year, but i am still having trouble tracking down information regarding the bus run. it looks like she will be able to take the morning bus for sure, but it's the afternoon bus that's up in the air. the end of livie's school day is smack in the middle of q's nap time. i am not sure what we're going to do here...i guess we will figure it out.
i had an interesting conversation with several of the other moms regarding the navy blue skorts. we were NOT the only family to run into issues; there will be a couple other girls wearing the "wrong" item next week, and the other families also had to order the skorts from the states...could not find them here. those families have been in hong kong much longer than we have, so i feel somewhat vindicated for not having been able to find these *&^% skorts. i had assumed that i couldn't find them simply because i am new and always lost and don't know the ins and outs of the city yet.
josh worked from home for the day so that he could manage q while livie and i were at orientation. when we got home, we all headed out for a nice lunch at cafe o. it was a pretty great day!
this is one of the little projects that olivia did at orientation today.
q insisted on trying on sissy's new uniform shirts along with her.

waffle curled up on a pillow. in keeping with his cog status, one of waffle's new tricks is to dig at fluffy things before he lays down on them. this is fine as long as i am not under the fluffy thing. i woke up at about 3 a.m. one night this week because waffle was digging at the fluffy comforter that was covering my legs!
