Meiying has found the dolls house in the back bedroom and sits and plays for hours with it, the baby dolls go to bed every night in her room. They girls speak Chinese within themselves, which I think is cute but they English to us. Xiu Mei has been painting pictures for each of the children, it helps them bond. Alexi asks about is parents more than Dimitri and they both get upset. Alexi has been helping to cook with me and all the kids make buns every week. Dimitri is getting extra help from the teachers to help him to read and we read to them every night.
