Yesterday I took my Chinese princess to the Chinese Center not too far from our house (actually very close to the mall…smile). The director, Yu Li, spent some time with her and determined that she definitely does remember her Chinese. At one point, Jia was across the room, and the director told her in Chinese to put down what she was playing with and come back to where we were sitting. Jia did it!!! She asked her what different items were in Chinese, and Jia would answer her in English. Of course, Yu Li told me what I already knew, which is that Jia is very bright!! She’s going to start taking a class on Thursday for one hour in Chinese. I’m hoping I haven’t just added something to my schedule and that it will be worthwhile for her. I think if she has Chinese in that smart brain of hers, I need to help her keep it and grow. Of course, one day soon, I’m anticipating her chewing me out in Chinese, then smiling her sweet smile and telling me how much she loves me! Amy’s anticipating it, too, which brings me little comfort!! Here goes!!!
