Lately JD and I have spent a bit of time learning about our origins, culture, countries, languages we speak, the colour of our skin, eyes, hair and etc. It’s a great topic to learn but sometimes it can get quite confusing for him at times.
On Monday, I brought JD and all his little friends to a playgroup. But because we had a non-English speaking child in our group, I had to speak a fair bir of Mandarin that day. A friend overheard me speaking in another language and got curious.
Later on, as we were heading home, the rain started to pour and my friend helped to look after JD while I escorted the other little ones to the car first.
Today my friend told me this little conversation they had:
L: So Jayden, do you speak Mandarin too?
JD: Oh no, sorry. We are finished with all the Mandarins now. We have only got oranges left at home.
Hahahaha!

Waigong, I can only do my best with Mandarin. I have so man things to learn everyday, alphabets, phonics, numbers, additions, subtractions, science, geography and I also need to squeeze in time for play!
The thing is I am not afraid of people making fun of me, because the main thing is I try!
