Hmmm….

I’ll give you one guess to tell me which one is mine.

Today was our first day of Chinese school. Ashlyn insisted that she wanted to sign on the dotted line and commit to this. I discouraged; she persisted. I knew it would be hard; she persisted. I assumed she would be one of few non-Chinese children there; she persisted. And, eventually, we said, “If anyone can do it, this girl can.” So, to Chinese school we went today for 2 hours. And, it was hard. She was the only caucasian child we saw there out of many children. And, she struggled a bit. But, she’s already told me what supplies she wants to bring next time to make it easier. And, she requested that I sit in with a paper and pencil and write down phonetically some of the phrases as a cheat sheet for her. 

Guess I’ve enrolled in Chinese school too.

I also promised her a date night after the next class to Dunkin Donuts for hot cocoa. Don’t want her to get too discouraged without a reward for her efforts.
