We went to the cultural diversity festival at the UI yesterday. I enjoyed listening to music from different cultures and countries. Some Chinese students wrote my sister's name on a card using Chinese characters, we'll put it in her life-book. I also ran into several friends from my school and I talked to them. It was a lot of fun.

Enjoyed my gymnastics class this morning. I have one more class next Saturday. Flat Stanley is going back to Irvine after a two week visit. I helped setting up the table this morning and I am practicing how to write letters. Dad and mom are very happy with my writing.

Why do some kids make fun of others? why can't they entertain themselfs with something else? are they hurting inside and want others to be hurting too?

Starting a new blogspot for Assen

OK. I have realized how easy it is to create blogspots. So, it's about time to create one for Assen. This will be a way to keep track of his progress, events, etc. Today, A and K went to Bethany's Playshop. H could not go because he had to work from 12:30 to 4:30 PM. Assen likes to play saying how many fingers I show him with my hands. He can do very well when I show him fingers with one hand. He also learned six, seven and eight, but he has trouble with nine. We'll keep practicing. He likes to be tickled when he says the number right. Height: 121 cm (47.6 in), Weight: 53 lbs.
