I have time for a very quick update.... I'm am procrastinating vacuuming!
Hanlin is doing great! Obviously we all have adjustments to make, however all in all I have to say things are going very smoothly.
I don't think he is using his Chinese very often any longer, even though we use Chinese words, and encourage him to use it also, but he seems to be using broken (almost baby talk) Chinese and bits of english. He already knows, "all done, bye, hello, pee, thank you"
Lily has decided to take it upon herself to help teach him. So she has developed this new language and he repeats it with her! "coo cu lup wiwi" Over and over again!! There are a couple other phrases she repeats too. Poor guy, doesn't have any idea!
He loves to be outside!! LOVE LOVES LOVES it.
The bigger girls started school today, and Lily will start preschool on Monday, Hanlin will follow suit the following Monday.

Great pics!
Glad to see he has the important ones down... Wen's list is similar: bye, pee, more, puppy and belly. That's hilarious about Lily teaching him, my guys haven't thought of that yet, though they prefer to use the three or four Mandarin words they think they know from KaiLan than any real English words.
Good luck with the start of school.
