Learning Chinese

After 2 months, I am so proud of how Samuel is handling being in a Chinese school.
His class is a real black box.  We drop him off at 8am, and pick him up at 4pm.  We don't really understand the teachers very well, and we don't any other English speaking parents in the class, so we know very little about what goes on in his class, except that he gets lunch there (which he really loves), naps afterwards (which Samuel really hates because he has a hard time falling asleep), and he's learned how to jump rope really well.
But it is neat to see how his Chinese has been progressing.  He regularly speaks to his teachers now in Chinese:  "Xie Xie (thank you)"  and "Jia Jian! (goodbye)"
At home, he likes to say "Bu Yao (don't want)", "Shenme (what?)", "Haochi (tastes good)", "Ahya (oh no)", "Jiuming (save me!)", "Jendi (really?)".
While walking home today, he proudly told me, "Dad, guess what, I got a yibai today!"  At first, I thought he said he got some E-thing, but repeated "yibai!" and I realized he meant "100".  He is slowly incoporating Chinese into his speech.  :)

Bedtime Prayer

Samuel's Prayer tonight:
"Dear Jesus, please help mom have a good trip.  (Annette's back in California for a conference).
Please help me grow strong.
And please give me a new Ipad."
