Holy crow, we've been home a month tomorrow! That's gone by fast!! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, life with an active 7 yr old AND a very active 5 yr old has been busy!
I wanted to post last week that Hannah said her first sentence in English! Robin, Josh and her were playing hide and seek. Josh was hiding and Robin asked Hannah, "Where's Josh?" and Hannah said, "I don't know!" hahaha!!
Her english is coming along at breakneck speed. She understands soooo much now it's crazy. Her speaking in english is slower, but I swear every day she add a new english word. The other day she asked for "apple juice" and R asked her what is was called in Mandarin, and she couldn't remember! Oh man! That was a big of a shock. On one hand we can't wait to understand all her stories and detailed explainations... but I will be so sad when my little one no longer talks a mile a minute mandarin.
She basically has the Alphabet Song downpat now, and writes out the entire upper case alphabet with ease, using the fridge magnets as a guide. She can also now write her name: HANNAH we are working on the rest: Xing Juan Green. And lastly, she can now count to 30 in english as well.
She loves to cook and has helped make muffins, cakes and today we made wonton dumplings. She loves to stir everyting together. When it came time to fill the wrappers, she made hers into "HOCKEY PUCKS!" How much fun is that to eat HOCKEY PUCK wontons!
Right now she's snuggling with Daddy watching NASCAR. But don't worry, she still pretty much exclusively wears PINK.
Time to get the kids to bed
good night!
