Well, the first week of my mini retirement was really good. Lina is preparing for her L license Driver Knowledge Test – so she asked me to get Jet out of the house on certain times of the day (mainly in the morning) so she can concentrate and study.

So as a consequence I have been spending time quite a lot with Jet. On Monday – we went to the new Randwick Library, Tuesday – we went to Unigym Pool – trying to get him comfortable with water as he’s still afraid at the moment and then today we went to play basketball/soccer together.

One thing that me and Lina noticed is – Jet’s behaviour has improved dramatically this week. So it seems me being around more has a positive impact on him.

I also get to know him better, I noticed his conversational skills have gone up to another level, I noticed how good he is looking after Matt, there’s a soft side of him that I never really pay attention before. There’s just a lot of things that I would never know about him if I’m not having this break.

Lina is also less tired and less tense, so she can relate better to me and the boys as well.

Furthermore today we started to read the bible together again, hopefully we can keep the rhythm going. We used to read the bible every day before, but then busyness of life kind of kill the good habit.
