Miss Bo-Geh

In the span of one week, Rui has dropped 3 teeth. 2 at the top and one at the bottom left. Now she talks like she is lisping and she claims she looks like a vampire. Can't wait for her teeth to all grow back.

When she is on vacation...

Here is how Rui passes her time during her one-week vacation when we are busy at work and unable to take her out.
1. Make pottery pieces.
2. Bake cookies with Yayu
3. Do homework or revision
4. Watch TV
5. Play Moshi Monster on computer
6. Read her books (she has completed almost all the books in the Princess Poppy Series)
7. Take pictures of herself
She is so good at keeping herself occupied at home she hardly stepped out of the house!

Her pottery pieces are little tooth containers



She took these herself. Cute eh?

Swim Meet

The 2 girls had their first taste of real competition during the recent Novice Swim Meet held by their swim school. Yan took part in the fun swim and treasure hunt events. Rui tried her "fins" at the 30M freestyle. Although they did not take away the top prizes at all categories (coming in 8th or 10th), we felt it was a wonderful experience as they walked away feeling more confident of themselves and both displayed true sportsmanship. We stressed to them that putting in their best effort was more important than winning the first prize. It helped that they both got medals for their efforts!
