Our main goal for coming to China as often as we do, is to have my kids become fluent in Mandarin Chinese. Both my husband and I know how hard it will be to ask them to take an interest in the language when they get older. As both him and I have struggled with our own parents against learning Mandarin.
One of the barriers of putting our kids in school here is they require some lab work. It’s not a huge barrier, but taking your kids to the hospital to get a needle stick is never fun. However, this year, our neighborhood school started a parent participation infant class that doesn’t require the lab work. It’s great because both my kids can also be in the same class. That’s twice a week.
For the other days of the week we’re going to Gymboree. Today my daughter started art class and painted with her fingers. My son went to gym. I think these next few weeks will pass very quick for them with classes everyday.
