Finally!!

I'm so excited grandma and grandpa was able to read the blog finally, after a month long trying! Now Keke - you need to watch out, not only mommy and daddy will write something about you, grandma and grandpa will too! :)

This week, daddy has been picking her up from school everyday. He got home kept telling me he’s so proud of her, because every teacher appraised her lot everyday. They kept telling him she's so smart, knows a lot more than other kids, she loves to read and write and writes very well, she acts as teachers' little helper (or "spy" as daddy joked about). Plus, she doesn't cry in the morning anymore!

At one point two weeks ago, after daddy walks her into her class, she happily put down her stuff in her box, walked around room checking out what everyone else was doing, and calmly sat on her chair, waived at daddy telling him it's OK to leave now! Of course daddy was so happy to see the change that she feels comfortable at school, but on the other side, deep in his heart, there was a little lost feeling - she's getting bigger now, and someday she will walk away from us just like that!

Anyway, we both noted she's so enthusiastic to learn anything now, especially likes to draw inferences about other cases from one instance. Even when she was a baby, she liked to read, sometime by herself for quite a while. And now, she wants to learn words in the book (both English and Chinese), and loves to write copybooks (funny enough, her teachers says, writing copybook is the best way to stop her from crying at school).

Now, her school work is not that exciting to her. She loves writing, but school doesn't do that as much as she wants, she does more because teachers noted that could keep her busy. She enjoys listening stories, doing crafts and paintings. She love learning new songs, and repeated at home a lot (those are so cute, I have to videotape more). She loves dancing, but school doesn't teach that. Maybe we need to start looking for more extra curriculum for her, or looking for a different school?
