It's been a bit since I posted, but life has continued as usual. NingNing is continuing to do well both at home and at school. He is already so different from when in China. Whereas in China, he didn't seem to be able to perceive situations where help was needed, now he willingly jumps in. He keeps himself organized and has a good standard of personal care. I just spoke with his math teacher yesterday and she said he is doing well in class and participates willingly...it's apparent he really enjoys math and though he said he wasn't good at it, neither I nor the teacher have seen evidence of it. The only thing he's struggled with so far is integers, positive and negative numbers. He's a voracious reader and we've managed to find several books in Mandarin for him for Reading class at school; he's even started on the Bible a little thanks to an app I found for my Xoom that shows the verses in Chinese and English at the same time.

He still prefers computer time over outside time, but we're working on that. We visited his friend SongSong last weekend and our families had a great time. We stayed outside all afternoon, playing washers and watching the "older" fellas take on James, Jaxon (NingNing), and Zane (SongSong). Tomorrow, all 3 families are getting together at the park to play and cook out....here's hoping for beautiful weather.
