This week has been a week of settling in for Rangimarie. She started with her childcare with a young woman down the road. It went really well - exceeding all my expectations. Rangimarie seemed very happy to be left there. There was no crying and she seemed content and animated when I picked her up. I think she had fun. Having only one other child her age and lots of attention from her carer and other family members who were visiting probably helped.
I haven't felt like I have had a lot of breathing room yet as she hasn't done her full two-and-a-half hour sessions yet but hopefully this week I will feel like I have enough time to achieve some things.
This week it seems we are pretty set on moving to California as soon as we can secure a job. I'm going to apply for visas when I get back from Australia.
So coming up next weekend I have a noho marae (weekend retreat) for my weaving class and then the following weekend I'm taking the kids to Australia for a week to visit my Mum. The start of our traveling rainbows adventure.
