Reese, recently

Reese has been having some awesome adventures in China so far.  Here's just a smattering of the last month of her life.  More installments of "Reese recently" to come soon.  :)

At the mall, in one of those silly rides that toddlers love. 

 

Possibly, one of my favorite photos of her ever.  Here, near the school, by the flower vendors, where you can get roses, carnation, orchids, lotus, and much more for very little.  Love it.

 

At dinner, last night, these three "princesses" made an appearance among 20+ adults.  Of course, they were the life of the party. Chiara, from Brazil, on the left, and Olivia, from the UK, on the right as you look at the photo.

 

Here, Princess Olivia (aka Cinderella) gets every last bit of sauce.

And Reese gets every last noodle.

And, don't forget the ice cream dessert and final droplets of that yummyness.

Reese at the aquarium, where we now have an annual family pass "petting" the fishies.

 

Getting ready to walk to school with Daddy, on her first day, in her official hat and backpack.  Loads more of these to come... she loves wearing the gear!

 

Her best attempts to eat with chopsticks.  Mind you, these are connected together at the top, so it's more like tongs, but she gave it her best effort.

At soccer practice... still hasn't figured out that she can touch the ball with her hands, but we'll get there.

At an indoor soft play area, shooting Nerf balls out of a (low-pressure) air gun.  Truly brilliant toys there, I tell ya!

One of the couples hosted a party with a teacher-band a couple weekends back and Reese and their little one, Alice, really got into it playing the "drums."

While waiting for our residence permits at the visa office, Reese starts playing with this little girl.  There's 200+ people in this big hall, and of course, we meet the one Turkish family there.

With Chiara at the expat expo in the kids' corner.  Reese is reading to Chiara... it was pretty adorable.
