Haven't we done this before?
Sarah, our social worker, paid us our first post-travel visit today. Unlike her previous visits, this one was very relaxed. The house was clean, but not spotless as before. I felt comfortable just playing with Emma and letting Lara handle much of the talking.
Until, of course, she asked how we're incorporating Chinese culture into our home and life. The smartass in me very nearly leapt up and said "Hey, look...most everything in the house is made in China! Whaddayawant?" Needless to say, I throttled that response and took a more diplomatic approach, pointing out things like our clothes and artwork.
She went away impressed enough, I guess.
Emma continues to move around backwards with great facility. With Grandma's help, we try to get her to move forward, but it doesn't seem to take. She'll rock on all fours, and even "crawl" with help from me positioning her legs, but when it comes to making all four limbs go on her own, the secret of coordinating them seems not to have clicked yet.
