Chinese Heritage

I'm sorry I am not creating enough opportunities for you to connect more with the Chinese side of your heritage.  It is just a little bit hard out here in (semi) West Texas.

During Chinese New Year, however, we do try to get into the spirit of the whole thing.

We made CNY cards and couplets for Qi and Xia Yu,

Random Schoolness

Groundhog Day and Shadows

Phil, we beg to differ. We in Texas, saw our shadows.  Maybe we'll finally get to see some winter.

Wonderment

One of the things you love to do at meal times is notice the different things you are eating and if you find an unusual shape in one of your foods, or something interesting, you would ask me to tak e a picture.

eg :  a ) Super Huge Chip

b) "Longest French Fry Ever"

When we are at Walmart, you also gravitate towards toys that you know from the movies that you watch, and so when you saw Kion from The Lion Guard, you first asked if you could carry him around with you while we shopped, and then for a photograph.

And then we were at Sam's the other day, and you spotted Stampy's book and immediately asked for  a photo for "posterity".
