Day 3 - a visit to a school

We visited a school on Sha Mian Island today. We met a 5th grade class who are learning English and got a nice tour by 3 5th grade girls. Reese then led the class doing animal tai chi in the public gardens in front of the school.

Sarah is doing well, but very clingy to mama. Just don't leave Reese & Elizabeth too far behind or she gets upset. If she is walking, she will turn and beckon them to come. She is already learning English words and can say nose, water, pink and red...and of course daddy and mama! She takes a 2 hour nap mid-day, allowing me this computer time. Elizabeth has her ups and downs (nothing in between!). She is a great big sister, making sure Sarah is cared for, but also wants her share of the attention and wants to be carried! Elizabeth proudly introduces her new sister whereever we go.
