On Friday mornings from 8:00-10:00 I go to character writing class with N. Which means S has a babysitter. N and I call her "Wang Jie" (Big Sister Wang) and to S she is "Aiyi" (Auntie). S’s Chinese name is Qingze which means “clean/clear/pure pool of water.” To Aiyi he is "Qingqing" (an affectionate nickname). Aiyi speaks only Chinese.
Today when I came home from class, Aiyi and Qingqing said their goodbyes.
“Zaijian, Qingqing.” (Goodbye, Qingqing.) And S looked up at her from my arms and waved.
My kid can wave in Chinese. I’m a proud mommy today.
Amazing Child! Incredible how he learns. He is simply absorbing what you two have to work so hard to accomplish.
ReplyDeleteSweet! You guys are, of course, waaay beyond my Chinese communication abilities, but at least I'm even with Shep...for now. : ) And I like his Chinese name - way better than "health energy bubble." : )
