Qianyi’s going to new school in Jan, 2010. We first visited the school last week, we left her at the playground while we had a tour around the school with the principal, an American woman. She loved the playground especially the swing. She said, “Just like London!” Some kids were having water play then. They were so happy to see Qianyi.

When we were leaving, a lovely caucasian girl kept asking the principal, “Is she coming to my class?” She gave Qianyi a hug.

We enrolled her in the school two days ago because it’s the best place for special education. We left her in the OT (occupational therapy) room this time while we were going through the enrolment procedure with the principal. When all was done, we picked her up from the OT room. The Occupational Therapist said she’s very sweet. Both he and the American principal couldn’t pronounce “Qianyi” properly. I asked her if she wanted the teachers to call her Qianyi or Felicity. She chose the latter.

So, she will be at school from 9am-3.30pm next year. I’m getting really excited because I will have more personal time!

She looked pretty cool when we told her she’s going to leave the current school and join the new school soon. She said, “Old school finish, next is new school. Say Bye to old friends and play with new friends.”
