Nee Hao!
Ethan started his Chinese boot camp today and it will last about 9 days. I was thrilled to make his first lunch box meal. The kids were divided into sun and moon classes. Ethan is in the Sun class. His day is half Chinese and half English and he happens to be in the class that has Chinese in the morning. So he got a dose of Chinese right away. We were greeted by his teacher and she kept talking to him in Chinese, he took a step back so I gently pushed him forward. Somehow he understood what she was telling him and found the desk with his name on it. I was amazed! Then I realized I had understood her too! He had a great time today and learned two colors in Chinese, red and blue.
Kailey had an appointment with her pediatrician today. She has grown 2 inches since birth and is now 19.5 inches. She has gained 6 ounces since she left the hospital four days ago and weighs 7 lbs. 8 ounces. Her head is 1 centimeter bigger. So far she is in excellent health and that is a huge relief! She does suffer of nursing laziness! She can’t keep herself awake for more than two minutes or sometimes won’t even open her mouth so nursing her is a challenge. Thank goodness for electric pumps.
