proverb






An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The red thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break. --Chinese proverb

Sneaky pants

Ani pulled a fast one on us at dinner tonight when she used her mastery of the Chinese language to order herself a coke without us knowing it.  Surprised the waitress didn't check with us first, guess she figured Ani was in charge! We made her split it with Neela, will need to watch her more carefully in the future. :)  


Starting to see an increase the competiveness between Ani and Neela in the past few days, and Ani has become increasingly whiny and combative to get her way.  We are being careful not to give in to this behavior and generally it is short lived. Largely seems a normal part of her need to test the boundaries and her learning process of what living with a family is like, but it can be unnerving when your 9 year old reverts to 3 year old behavior.  Will be good to get home where we can settle in to a more normal routine.
