Gwen got off the bus this afternoon looking quite down in the mouth.
"Mommy, I had a bad day."
She has never said this before, so I was really curious to hear what reason she would give.
I picked her up, and with bottom lip sticking way out, she said, "Teacher said she would give me a star if I spoke Chinese all day, but I forgot."
Ah, the trials of a child who is almost bilingual... maybe if I worked a little harder on my Chinese and practiced my extremely limited Mandarin vocabulary on her more often, it would help.
Poor girl. :-) She can try again for an English-free school day tomorrow.

impressive problems for a 5 year old!
It truly is amazing how not getting the award can color our whole day! But I suppose she learned of the problem just before she came home! Mom
