The Monday 1 week after school restarted is usually a difficult morning for kids to re-orientate to waking up early again after the weekend. Kristine had trouble waking but Kimberley was excited as ever to begin her kinder day. I must admit I am now a bit nervous about what they feed Kimberley at school. Just wondering how much MSG the chefs throw into their meals. She just seems excited before going to kinder, and she remains excited after we collect her from kinder. And it is a long day from 730am to 515pm. Is that a sign of being hyperactive?
Since last week, Grace and I have to start cultivating a new habit of telling waiters/waitresses we wanted no MSG in our meals, and half the salt. So far they have been taking us seriously, even checking back with us if certain pre-made gravy contained some MSG. MSG is prevalent here. They occupy more shelf space than salt in the supermarkets. We briefly watched a cooking program on TV over the weekend and all the meals contain significant amount of msg.
