So what do the kids think?

People have asked us what the kids think about moving to NZ... so here you go!
Joanna obviously doesn't really know that anything different is happening - as long as Mum and Dad are around, she's happy.
Ben on the other hand is an inquisitive 2 and a half year-old who likes to ask why. Repeatedly. So, when we asked him if he wanted to move to NZ, he looked thoughtful for about half a second and then said "yeah". When told that there was lots places to go bushwalking there, he got really excited and wanted to make sure that Mum and Joanna could come with as well.
Most mornings, Ben asks us what we're doing that day. Usually it's something like going to the park with Rohan, or going to church, or mother's group. Sometimes now he asks "Where are we going today? Are we going to New Zealand?" So we have to say, no, not today Ben. A few more weeks still.
He's also included New Zealand in his playing - I've been told that Newzealandpark is in his room. So now you know!
So he's excited about it, but doesn't really have a clue. As you'd expect for a 2 year-old. As long as Mum and Dad are there...
