New Insta post
For those not following me on Instagram, I had my little boyโ€™s first parent/teacher meeting last night. Although my language is improving, I really felt the cultural differences in their feedback. Nothing negative, just different in what they focused on and their expectations. Have any of you felt the same thing? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSKELtSDOoD/?igsh=ZDFmOWZoaHQybDM1

When we were living overseas I homeschooled my boys until they were 10 so parent teacher conferences were easy! ๐Ÿ˜‰ After that the boys went to international schools. There was a subtle difference between the US and UK school system but nothing major. My ex-husband is Italian, and I definitely did see differences in how his family raised and educated their children and what they prioritized. They thought I was a weirdo! ๐Ÿ˜‚
Celebrating milestones
For those not in the know, Iโ€™m half way through my second pregnancy. Having my ultrasound today, I was reminded as to how far Iโ€™ve come with my Italian (especially medically related Italian!). This time around Iโ€™ve seen the specialists all by myself and have been able to handle most of the conversations with ease. It helps sometimes to celebrate these milestones, especially when it involves learning a new language! ๐Ÿ‘‡Belowโ€ฆ.a little foot to share ๐Ÿฆถ๐Ÿฅฐ

Oh how beautiful! Congratulations on your new favourite human and for your progress in Italian, especially when it comes to medical language - which can be challenging in any language!
Reflection time
The pain of the expat mother: knowing your kid is experiencing a great lifestyle in another country, but also wishing it was your hometown. Anyone else have these moments? For me in particular itโ€™s living a 5 min walk to the beach, which would be impossible to afford back in Australia now.

@Maria White No, they don't. Not even Italian, which is my ex-husband's language! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

@Maria White I know, right?! They should at least speak Italian!
Lessons to learn
Well one thing you can say about boysโ€ฆtheyโ€™ll just keep on trying! Hereโ€™s my little one using a stick 3 x bigger than him to try and reach the oranges at the top of the tree. Life lesson reminder: never say never! ๐Ÿ˜‚

@Maria White I loved having boys - still do! But I get a little โ€œgirl powerโ€ from my niece! ๐Ÿ˜‰
Appreciating my adopted country
Itโ€™s easy to fall into the trap of constantly comparing your new country to your homeland, usually with a sense of homesickness or frustration. It does help sometimes to make an effort, however, to appreciate the little things that perhaps youโ€™ve become so accustomed to that you forget how โ€˜newโ€™ they once were. Today I was reminded how pleasurable it is to be able to pop down to the local street markets, soak up the atmosphere and buy locally grown, absolutely fresh and seasonal produceโ€ฆUsually sold directly by those who grew them. It always makes me feel connected just a little bit more to the seasons and natural passage of time. ๐Ÿ’› What could you say is a simple pleasure for you in your new country? ๐Ÿ‘‡ Post below

@Maria White ah yes, my mother-in-law, La Nonna, used to go to the market bright and early in the morning. I have such fond memories of helping her shell the fresh peas for pasta e piselli, still one of my favourites! My "simple pleasure" in the UK is the ability to browse through a book store or library, sometimes for hours! When you live in a non English speaking country, books in English are either very hard to come by or very expensive.
