An update (August 2010) Kai's bit

Kai loves singing and dancing mainly thanks to his teacher Miss Jian in the playschool. Miss Jian is a lovely lady, she is kind, patient, energetic and enthusiastic. Kai has never had any problem with going to the playschool, as he knows he can see Miss Jian there.









Kai likes singing to show his happiness. It's great fun to watch him singing action songs in front of us.





Kai has made a lot of friends in the playschool, as well as in the neighborhood. He goes to the playschool at 8:30 in the morning and comes back at quarter to 12. (Only recently he started to go full-time, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm when mum is at work) After lunch and a nap, he plays with the little neighbors. We have a big fish pond in the communal garden. Kai's favourite activity in a summer afternoon was fishing baby frogs with friends.





Kai's friend has a little white dog. Kai loves to see it, but is afraid to go anywhere near it.





Kai loves books as well. Bedtime story is one of his most enjoyable times. We read some fairy tales to him, as well as some English nursery rhymes. His favourite fairy tale is Frog Prince, and his favourite nursery rhyme is "Pussy cat". When he is asked "Where have you been?", his answer is probably "I've been to London to look at the queen."!

Kai's Chinese is better than his English - he can beat his Dad on speaking Chinese. His listening in English is pretty good, he can understand most of the things. With speaking, he can say many words, but he is not so advanced in complete sentences. He does need more practice on it. In China, the most asked question is probably "Can he speak Chinese? What about English?"

Kai had been modelling for mum's little taobao shop (online shop). His image did attract some buyers for mum. Many of mum's favorite photos of Kai came from clothes photo shooting. Kai also had two more modelling jobs done for corporate use.








Kai is a very typical boy. He likes all the stuff other boys like, for example, Toy Story, Thomas and friends. He also showed very much interest in cars. He currently owns several car models, including Morgan, Lamborghini,VW, Mini, Mercedes. His father succeeded in teaching him many car symbols. Every day on the way to and from playschool his enjoyments are singing loudly to me and recognizing all the car makes of the cars parked on the road. He is very familiar with Honda, Toyota and VW, as we see them most on Chinese streets.

At the end, Kai is also a warm-hearted boy. He seldom asks me to carry him if he is not on a pushchair. One morning, after I woke him up, I felt like that I wanted to carry him out of the bed. He rubbed his half-opened eyes, and asked me:"Mum,is your back not painful today?" I nearly broke into tears when I heard it. How sweet is he at that moment.
