Chinese Children

Chinese children are pretty weird. (At least from my US-raised perspective.) Here's the thing:

-they go to school for 10+ hours/day during the week
-they take extra classes on the weekend (like history and language)
-when they're not in school they're doing homework
-the little ones are crazy (running around their English school, sitting on each other, getting completely out of hand)
-they like to eat weird things--like dried squid and chicken heart for a snack
-they (want to) wear pink when they are boys
-they wear very trendy split pants so they can relieve themselves anywhere (young children)

Chinese children are also pretty cute.

-They sing English songs with their cute accent
-When you ask them "how are you?" they answer "fine sank you, how are you?"
-They are entertaining (a little girl on the bus sang a song about all the things she loved "wo ai...wo ai...wo ai...")


Although not a Chinese child, we have a pretty weird one of our own. :)

she finds unique ways to carry her baby

putting things in her shirt is way fun

she's very good at hide and seek

and playing dress-up

she likes to feed herself

or just use her food as makeup and hair gel

she watches Curious George with her dad

Her style is one-of-a-kind

(one leg out of the pajamas)

oh so fasionable

She begs to get on the little rides, but cries when they start moving

She loves shoes

a lot

She likes to work

She may be a little odd, but we sure love it and think she's pretty darn cute! We're enjoying these last few days before our family of 3 becomes 4.
