Sam talks to a new friend after church (he's looking at car pictures on her phone)
Sunday school!
Ready to go! (Sam with robot)
Pomelo mouse (from nursery school)
Yesterday I went to half of the teachers' retreat for our school. When I realized that we only had three hours planned this morning, but that it would cause a good eighteen hours of grief for Emily (from last night to this afternoon) I decided to come back with another teacher last night. A good decision! As I write this Emily is sleeping and Sam is looking to head towards and early bedtime.
It's mid-autumn festival here. We've been feasting on moon cakes (cakes filled with different types of paste: red bean, sesame, peanuts, egg, even chocolate), Sam decorated a pomelo at school, and the weather is just beginning to change.
Church was fun today. Sam went to his regular Sunday School class and then enjoyed playing with other kids and talking to some adults after church. He still sometimes resists talking to new people, but warms up quickly once he gets to know the person. He's just reaching an age where he's beginning to really be able to play with other kids. Yesterday he played in a wading pool with some neighbors he likes a lot and today he enjoyed talking to some of the other boys.
He also went to the potty by himself today, although he went into the women's bathroom and then got upset when he didn't know how to get his pants and shoes back on! He's also basically now pacifier free. Emily thinks maybe it was too early. He's sucking on his shirt some now. On the other hand, I remember reading that this is really the age where you can explain why they should stop and I don't want to still be dealing with this a year from now.
