Ikey Long Legs

Recently, I've noticed that Ike's legs have gotten rather long and thin... he's always had rather chubby and short legs, I think he's gone through a growth spurt. He is starting to look really coordinated and fast on the soccer pitch!

We've got the results to their "brain fitness", they scored in the average region with a bit of weakness in listening so we've signed them up for some listening classes, I think for Ike it would be quite good as he still get ANIMAL and AMINAL and a few other words confused...

Long haired boys

I have been waiting for the boys to request a hair cut.... but they have yet to ask, there seems like just too much to do, like play than to get a haircut, so lets see how long it grows out to... oooh I should forward the pictures of Ike's passport photo's they look so much like loren.

Nate is home today as he had a fever last night and woke up with a rash on his stomach, his immunity must be down. Ike seems so much more independant these days too and his legs seem to have lengthened. I am hoping that their summer camp school in Shanghai will revert soon with a spot for Ike.

I spoke to Nate's chinese teacher today who said he is doing well but there are just nuances that are going to be hard to explain to someone who doesn't grow up in China... and so she wants to reduce the expectation bar for him in Chinese class. I am taking him to watch a chinese speech contest on thursday. Hopefully he will be interested to try for it next year.
