I need to share some of the stuff Jia has been saying lately.
Story #1:
Jia came home from school and the following exchange occurred:
"Mama, I have something to tell you. I think I'm falling in love with a boy."
"Really? Who?"
"Emerson. I really like him a lot. Promise you won't tell his mom."
I don't know if we're ready for this! I'm very happy, however, that she confided in me.
Story #2:
Joe was driving Jia to school one morning and saw a muffler in the middle of the road. He stopped and moved it to the gutter so no other cars would run into it. When he returned to the car, Jia said, "Oh, Baba! You're just like a Daisy! [Her Girl Scout troop.] You're kind and considerate, caring and responsible!"
Then, a few days later, she said the same thing to me when I was cleaning up other people's trash.
Nice to see that she's been soaking up the messages at her Daisy meetings!
Story #3
For her 100-day celebration at school, Jia had to write an essay entitled, "When I'm 100."
Here is what she wrote:
"When I'm 100, I will have memories of my great teacher Heidi. Heidi is the best teacher ever! Three cheers for Heidi! I love Heidi! I am still living with my parents."
That's fine with us.
