Weird title. I agree. Couldn't think of anything better though.
We are nearly smack dab in the middle of the Empress' month. Last week was her 2nd grade play. She was so excited. She had a solo singing part. The Empress loves to sing and happily sits in the car singing along with the radio, belting out Adele songs from her bedroom, or singing Karaoke in the living room, when she thinks no one is watching. So, the 2nd grade play popped up. She auditioned and got a tiny solo. She talked about it non-stop for a month. When the time arrived, she marched into the gym with the rest of the 2nd graders. Smile from ear to ear. On her, and on me! Then her moment arrived and she sang the most glorious little piece of the whole play. Wow. My girl can sing. She was loud and proud. The play, or more aptly described, musical, was about the folks coming over on the Mayflower to the new world. In my humble, non-biased, mom opinion, she was the star.

Sunday (10th) was Chinese New Year. Yahoo. Year of the Snake. We put up our meager decorations and I cooked a lovely little dinner of Beef and Broccoli, egg rolls and spring rolls. The children were given their red money envelopes, chocolate coins, and zodiac animals. Cute little snakes. And after dinner we all ate our fortune cookies. Yum. We didn't do fireworks this year. Bummer. On Monday, the Empress, dressed in a beautiful blue Chinese silk dress, took books, Pandas, zodiac animals, red envelopes, chocolate coins, and fortune cookies to school to share with her class. We have been so blessed with teachers. Ms. Hash devoted the whole day to Chinese New Year and they did calligraphy, watched videos, and read books. Grayson shared her Chinese story and answered questions for the class. Surprise....my girl was the center of attention...and she loved it!!
