Student of the Day

Today Reister was chosen to be the Student of the Day at the boys' preschool.  He was really excited to have this job. He gets to stand at the top of the stairs where the kids come into the school and greet them with a "Good Morning" or "Zao Shang Hao".  His teacher said he would also be her helper for the day.  I'm so glad that Reister was excited about this - he doesn't always love going to school, but I think this special role made it more exciting for him.

I'm proud of Reister for learning Chinese and doing well at his school. His teachers really felt like he really "grew up" while we were in Thailand.  He is one of the oldest in his class now, whereas in the past he always gravitated toward the older boys in his class.  Now he is closest with a girl in his class, who is also 5 and is tall for her age (not the one in the picture).
