Belated Gung Hei Fat Choy!!

We have been SO busy over the last couple weeks! Fin's class went on a little field trip to Kowloon on the Star Ferry last week - very fun! I am finding Fin's class more and more difficult as it involves a lot of getting up and down from carpet time to craft table and back down to the carpet etc. Fortunately Fin seems ready to move on to the next level, called Stepping Stones, where he will just be dropped off and I won't have to stay and participate. We also started Fin's swimming class last week and it was a TOTAL success! He has been very leery of the water in the past and has cried and made a fuss every time we have gone to the pool. He seemed to love the class though and cried and made a fuss about leaving the pool this time! He was very happy splashing around in the water and even put his face in the water....on purpose!!!

I met another mom in our complex that has a toddler close in age to Fin and is due with twins in the same week as me! It will be so nice to have someone around to compare notes with! I had another doctor's appointment today and the twins are looking great. They are as big as single babies are at this stage. The boy is lying head down and the girl is lying crosswise at the moment. They both kick and wiggle ALL the time! The doctor is very pleased with how everything is going but tells me I need to take it even easier. I feel like I'll practically be comatose if I take it much easier!

Our building put on a really wonderful Chinese New Year celebration and carnival. There was a bouncy castle, which amazingly enough Fin actually ventured into, and some traditional treats, acrobats and lion dancers. Fin was particularly impressed with the lion dancers (although we could not dissuade him of his belief that they were dragon dancers!). He still talks about them all the time and asks to go see them. After we saw them he turned to me and said "I lub dragon dancers!".

Apparently we are raising a very fiscally responsible young man. I gave him a $10 HK bill and he handed it back and asked me to "put it in the bank"! Ah! Somebody to look after us in our old age!
