It almost felt like a mini-vacation. An entire day just us, wandering around, having lunch and doing some shopping.
We have to keep reminding ourselves to take these moments... because our kiddos will only be this small once. We're so incredibly proud of them. Although Stella is still a bit shy about it, if anyone speaks to her in Chinese, she absolutely understands and will converse back. Bodhi is so outgoing and brave about it, that he speaks without fear, in his limited, only-one-year immersion training. When I doubt myself as a mama, I have to remember all that we're striving for - well rounded, worldly, good little people, and I think we might just be accomplishing that.
Happy Year of the Dog!
