New home!

Last week we moved into a new flat. It is perfectly located and 15 mins from Oma and Opa and 15 mins from the city centre. We now live in a beautiful apartment block that has several out door amenities, such as swimming pool, children play area (Indoor and outdoor), soccer field, etc. It is also 5 mins from a major mall and 2 mins from the main river here in the south. Each of the kids have their own room and Kaio is really enjoying it. He also has his own bathroom and loves 'decorating' it. (we got towls and a mat with ducks on it) Josefine also moved into her own room now and is adapting nicely!
Kaio started nursery on monday. He will go to a local school (15mins walk) and will be going there 5 days a week from 8am until 1pm. It will be great for him to learn portuguese. He adapted very nicely and everyone is really friendly. He talks about his new friends and is happy to return every day. The teacher said he seems to understand everything and makes himself clear (if he doesn't know the words in portuguese he points or grabs the teacher by her hand to point out what he wants). He did not cry at all and his classmates seem very nice and happy children!
We also rented a car this week and are more independent now (Oma was always driving us around). Kaio does miss his Oma and living at their house (they had a much bigger garden) but we still are very close and have seen Oma every day.
