Parents-Teacher's meeting

I went to Matotea's first parent-teacher's meeting this afternoon. It's funny there are just these little things that make me feel weirdly grown-up, and going to your daughter's parent-teacher meeting is definitely one of them, even if it is as laid back as ours. Matotea's teacher Monsieur Helden is a very gentle and slightly effeminate young man, the tahitian word is mahu, he's always beaming enthusiastically and is seemingly unflappable in the face of his throng of pre-schoolers. Matotea adores him, in no small part because he speaks some English, and I have to admit he does seem quite adorable. She's thriving at school and is now more talkative than ever, even if she does have the odd fall-out with her nemesis Florida, another of the girls at school....I'll have to get some pictures of her at school before the end of the school year!
