9/4/07

Thank goodness JR had a good day at school! He got in the car and said he had “an awesome day”, the teacher didn’t tell me otherwise, so we’re going to go with “awesome”. JR’s highlights of school today include: getting to help the teacher, one of his friends having an accident (in his pants which JR so vividly described), learning how to spell the word “red”, and playing with “lots of friends” at recess. Alas, we still don’t know any of these friends’ names, except for his friend Miracle. Best I can tell, Miracle and JR are big buddies. JR still hasn’t learned the advantages of learning his friends’ names. In China everybody has a title so the Chinese really never learn anybody’s real name. JR still calls Melissa, his Beijing best friend, “Mei-Mei” which means “little sister”.

In other exciting news we are leaving in the morning for the Bahamas. My sorority sister, Marcia, is getting married on Saturday. I’m a bridesmaid in the wedding, and we are going down tomorrow to have a little mini vacay before the festivities. The wedding is at The Atlantis and we are staying there too, so I’m sure I’ll have some fun stories for when we return!
