Things we miss from America

Come October and we will be in Germany for 2 years and I can honestly say that time has flown by insanely quick! We are very much adjusted to life here but since Chris has business trips every couple of months, he makes our Target trips for us and I have to live through him :)

Here is a list that Chris went with this time:

glue sticks, coloring pencils and pencil eraser caps - it's back to school sales in America; here it's back to school season without the sales. Pack of coloring pencils runs upward 8 euros; same for glue sticks. And I mentioned before, there are not crayons but coloring pencils are used a lot.

low sodium soy sauce - doesn't really exist here and it's hard to go back to regular once you've been using low sodium
maple syrup - totally exists here, a little hard to find though and the containers are so small that we usually need to use an entire one for breakfast

chocolate chips - Chris prefers to use chips when making pancakes but other than that, everybody switched over to chocolate shavings

popcorn - for some reason Chris prefers American to German, no idea why
Lucky Charms cereal - by now boys think of it a treat
Lifesavers - the mint candies that Ilya loves, I am sure if I look harder I could find something here for him. Chris took it to his coworkers once and they all said that it smells like a toilet cleaner. No further comments :)
Sheets - the bed sizes are different so this time around Chris also stocked up on sheets for our bed.

I will work on things that we 1) don't miss and 2) like in Germany in the near future.

School update

It's been almost exactly 2 months since the last time I wrote here. Our summer has come and gone as well as 3 weeks of school have passed. The life has been busy but I knew that since all the kids are in new schools and our schedules are completely different from last year. We are still trying to figure stuff out but anyway ... Our house looked like that most of the summer Night before school Anton has started 1st grade. He goes to school for kids with hearing issues and from what I understood the kids in his class are all over the spectrum regarding their issues. Anton does not have a problem with hearing but his brain does not process what he hears at normal rate and Anton's teacher knows how to work with him which has been good so far. The school is a little bit further away but he gets picked up and dropped off right in front of our house and it's going good. He leaves the house at 7:15 and comes home at 15:40 3 times a we...

Random notes

Wrote this last week but never published :( My plan was to write about Anton and his school a bit. Or about how German language acquisition is (after being in Germany for 4 years). However ... life! Last week Andrei was home Tuesday and Wednesday because the teachers held parent-teacher conferences for those 2 days and kids had no school. First time it's happening this way because in other schools meetings were always held either before or after classes. After having him home for 2 days and meeting his classroom teacher, I learned pretty much nothing new - his grades are good but he needs to talk more in class. That's what I got out of a 30 minute meeting. Friday Anton was home because his school starts Carnival celebrations early. Monday and Tuesday all the kids were home because again Carnival - Rose Monday and for no reason for Tuesday. Anton's extended celebrations continued into Wednesday. I am not a fan...

Medicine in Germany

I knew two things about Germany before we got here - food and medicine are supposed to be really good here. Today's topic is medicine that we've encountered so far. It has definitely been different than what we are used to. Anton has had 3 bouts with bronchitis in 3 months and every time he had to use steroids to get rid of it. The last time we went for a check up to make sure he was in the clear, the pediatrician said that we should use the steroid medicine until the "bad season" is over which is somewhere in March or April. I questioned the use of a steroid as a preventative measure for 2.5 year old and she said that it wasn't a BAD steroid, so it was ok. I came home, looked it up and didn't like what I saw - not a lot of research has been done on this particular medicine so far and it might cause some psychological, growth, and other issues. And it's only being sold in Germany at this point. I forwarded that info to some more medically info...
