I can’t believe this kid, he amazes me every time I’m around him. Yesterday he said ” what did we learn today grandpa?” We went under the house and looked at vents and ducts and talked about switches . Oh and he told me I needed a hair cut! He is only 3 isn’t he?

We’ve been watching Kai-lan like crazy and our kids are picking up on it, too. I need to start paying better attention, myself, and then maybe I’ll have a few words to whip out in Taiwan!

I was thinking the same thing Tisra! I noticed that they were speaking Chinese the day we were watching it,but it is amazing that he would catch on to it so quickly!!!!
