Preschool is fun 幼兒園樂無窮

One of the things I planned to do when visiting Taiwan was to take Virginia to preschool so she could play with other kids and develop her language. The Wu family from my home ward of the church in Taiwan, ran a small preschool and they were willing to let Virginia go there a few days a week for a really good price. I then bought a little chair for Virginia so we could ride scooter to the school together.
此次回台其中一件我想做的事就是帶藹伶去上幼兒園,讓她可以和其他小孩子玩並發展她的語文能力。我家鄉永和支會的吳家庭,願意讓我每週帶藹伶幾天去她們所經營的幼兒園,並且僅收取不多的學費。於是我就買了一個小椅子給藹伶,這樣我好騎車載她去學校。



I rode scooter very carefully and thank God that we made it safe. Virginia really enjoyed our little everyday ride.
每次我看到這張照片心裡覺得很對不起女兒,因為我全副武裝有安全帽和口罩,藹伶卻什麼都沒有。我有買口罩給她囉,只是她戴了一陣子便不肯再戴了,至於安全帽,我則找不到適合她大小的帽子,於是我只有更加小心地騎車,感謝神我們旅途平安。藹伶真地很喜歡每天的機車行。

The first day of the preschool, Virginia cried and ran up to me when I went to pick her up to show that she missed me. The teacher said she was having a great time at the school She was doing extremely well without me at the school. The kids all loved her and she seemed to enjoy her time there.
第一天我去接藹伶放學時,她哭著衝向我,一副很想我的樣子,即使老師說她玩得不亦樂乎。離開媽媽身邊的藹伶適應地非常好, 學校裡的孩子也都很喜歡她,她似乎真地很享受在幼兒園的時光。



The boy right next to Virginia was so tender that he kept fixing her hair.
在藹伶邊的小男生一直溫柔地幫藹伶整理頭髮。



Virginia loves to eat and eating time probably is one of her favorite times at the school (or anywhere else for that matter). The teacher told me that Virginia could eat a lot and ate more than other older kids. She was so amazed by that. Oh well, it's not a surprise to all of our family and close friends. One day, the teacher put a plate of fruit on the table, and turned her head to focus on another thing. Just a little while later, when she turned back and wanted to have the kids have the fruit, the whole plate of fruit was all gone because Virginia ate it all!oops. I hope Virginia won't be like that when she grows up...:)
藹伶喜歡吃而吃東西大概是她在學校最喜歡的活動之一。吳媽很驚訝地告訴我藹伶在學校吃好多而且吃得都比其他比她大的小朋友還多,唉,藹伶這樣會吃的事對我們的家人和親近的朋友應該不是什麼新聞了。有一天吳媽切了一盤水果放在桌上,然後便轉身去忙別的,不一會兒就轉頭回來,赫然發現整盤的水果都被藹伶給吃光光了!希望藹伶早大些時別再像這般嘴饞。

It's kind of scary to see Virginia on a scooter without a helmet on, but I'm glad that you guys were really safe, and that Virginia had a great time playing with other kids at the preschool. Looks like she's got a secret admirer now!! Hahaha.... : )

It's nice that Virginia is eating a lot. Rainny is the opposite. She's very picky and doesn't like to eat a lot of the food we eat even if she already has 6 teeth now...milk is still her favorite food... : p

Haha! So cute. It's no surprise to me at all that Ailing can eat more than even the bigger kids. It's also no surprise that she did so well without you. She's always been so social and independent.

It's nice that the other kids were good to Ailing. Just recently, Taisei ran into he second bully (5 years old!) that really picked on him. It really made my blood boil to see older kids picking on my baby. >:(

Hey Amber - that scooter chair is COOL! Make sure you find at least some kind of helmet for her wear next time, ok?

Wow, so cool that you rode the scooter with Ai-Ling!! I wish we could get that kind of seat and ride with Taisei! Is the seat made for scooters?

Lucky that you found the school Ai-Ling could attend. That's something we plan to do for Taisei next time we go to Japan.
