Chinese New Year is only two weeks away and somehow, someway we have a CNY event to go to nearly every weekend until the end of February. Our Families with Children From China group has an amazing group of families on the north side of Houston. The group is so big that they have broken into smaller groups for smaller events. Because we are friends with several families on that side of town, we have participated with them more this year. Today the festivities were kicked off with a late lunch at a Chinese restaurant (had some awesome chow fun) and then some shopping at a local Chinese store.
It really makes my heart happy to see Catherine hang out with the other girls by her own choosing. She really, really loves the older girls and wants to be a part of what they are doing. Over the last couple of months she has even shown favor over certain kids. She really does not like kids that are ‘in your face’ hyper. She likes the kids that are more gentle with her and engage her in a more toned down sense of play. There are three kids that I can think of off of the top of my head that always try to chase her or drag her around and she has now gotten to the point where she will run away from them or tell them ‘no!’ She has even told me on a few occasions that she does not like them. I’m trying to figure out how to deal with that situation. Anyway, I love seeing her make friends! I can’t wait to see what this year’s CNY activities have in store for us! It’s one of my favorite holidays!
Sorry for the junky quality of the photos. I can’t shoot a photo indoors to save my life and I didn’t bring my good camera with me.
