The Dog Days of Dustin

One of the hardest adjustments Dustin has had to make has been going from having several friends at our house five days/week to spending all day, every day, with only Chris, Emilie & me.  Add this to the fact that we could only fit so many of his toys into our limited amount of suitcases and I would say he has been getting a little bored.  He has definitely been ready for a little social interaction with some kids his own age!  We were lucky to meet a great family from Florida right away!  They have a four year old daughter and she and Dustin get along very well.

We have been trying to fill his days with fun things like swimming, playing at the playground, going to the library and building rockets!

Dustin LOVES the library at the elementary school campus!  

And of course he has to get his haircut with Daddy!

Then there is Tennis!  Dustin has lessons once a week with an amazing set of instructors.  Finding a kid-sized racket was quite the process in Jakarta, but it has been worth it! (After about 3 full days of looking at countless stores with endless hours in traffic, we FINALLY found one - If only there were a Target out here!!!)

Dustin's favorite activity - His weekly circus class! Circus class is taught by a former traveling circus clown!  They have been working on juggling (first with scarves, then with balls).  They also spin plates (which might just be Dustin's calling in life!), balance wands, and have fun with all sorts of games and tricks.  

The tongue is always needed for a little extra concentration!

This is a fun game where the kids try to pass the spinning plate back and forth down the line.  They are actually pretty good at it!

What class is complete without a little air guitar?

And the pure agony when class is over...
