Travis and I aren’t really big fans of Valentine’s Day, although I do like the candy that comes out around this time… cinnamon bears and cherry hearts- a box of See’s Candy is always good. China gets hit, at least a little, with the Valentine Day dinner specials, roses, etc. They don't celebrate it but there's such a huge expat community that it does get its fair share of attention. I actual got a box of candy from a student and another made me a brownie and a card- quite a surprise since high school people usually don't get anything from students for VD. We spent the day at our friend’s house eating left-over food from their big party the night before. This particular "wing ding" party has become an annual event because they order a bunch of chicken wings and people bring food. It also happens to be our friend's birthday party. We had a great time. On Sunday, we had a play date with some people we met in our child birth class. They have a girl named, Sophia, who is two months younger then Gabriella. It was so fun watching her play- she was taking kid’s sippy cups and trying to help them drink. She was also sharing her toys- which I’m quite proud of. Its interesting watching her develop socially- she seems to really enjoy playing with other kids. She was even trying to engage with a seven year old boy. She kept giving him balls to play with. The poor kid had no idea what to do but then started playing ball with her.
We’re still trying to get that house in Capital… fingers crossed that works out.
