Week 2 Chinese camp Completed

What a relief! Week 2 Chinese camp finished today.  I had so much fun meeting new students and working on this play with them.  Of course, all of this can't be possible without the support from my awesome family!

Cheers.

What Would Nanny 911 Say?

Days like these are hard to come by. Even though I am surrounded by family, I feel alone.

B tells me his director is sympathetic and will approve the move to Boise. I can only think of the sadness of losing another part of me.  It is hard to lose the teacher part of me. But I must be strong for the children. Because by resenting my decision to stay home, the children are affected by a mom who is less sympathetic, emotionally unavailable, and affects the entire home ambience.

I've made a decision. I decided I would stay home with the kids. Must make peace with this decision. It is literally eating me from the inside.  Being a guest teacher in Chinese camp, brought back old feelings of resentment because being "Ms.Wan" makes me feel important, valued, and contributing member of society. This is a process that i am currently trying to get through….

ARi crawling

Super exciting Ari crawled today.  What fun to see...

Exciting Week!

Not only did I start with my Summer Job this week, but we also had Bry's family from North Carolina and Idaho come over. It was a bit crazy driving back and forth from SLC but it was nice to have the company.

My first week of Chinese camp is officially complete.  My reflection is that it was a fun experience for me. To feel like a real teacher again.  The first day was crazy because some did not want to obey, but I had to get to know them before I knew what I could use as pawn.  Recess and Candy always seems to work great! But by the third day, these group of kids from all over SLC felt like my students.  On to second week of project....

Cherry Wednesday

Today took my parents and the kids to Payson and Santaquin for some good ole cherries.  The one in parson we got to pick off the tree.  Pretty fun activity with little Wes.  Gong gong stay back with Ari for the cherry picking. Fun day of road trip 10am-3:30pm.
