Some Funny Sights of China and the Preschool Romances

So on our way home yesterday we saw yet another funny sight of China. People were actually cleaning by hand, with just a bucket and rag, the highway divide. Yes, the plastic (usually cement in the US) divide that runds down between the different directions of traffic on the four or more laned highway. Just wanted to share some things here that are completely normal to China, but we would just find unbelievable.

Onto a totally different subject, Danny has been going to preschool now for a couple of weeks, and I have enjoyed meeting the various moms at the school, and it is nice that some of my friend's children are in Danny's class. As we headed into the school today, Danny saw his friend Mia and they were talking as they headed in. Her mother stopped me and asked if this was Danny. I said yes and she said that Danny is the only one that Mia talks about from school. Pretty cute. As Danny got settled in and started playing, he saw his friend Alivia come in the door and he screamed out a welcome to her. (He really likes Alivia a lot). Her mom is a good friend of mine (probably one of the first people I met here), and I told her that Danny was excited to see Alivia. She smiled and said that her son last night was asking her about her wedding ring, and that she explained it meant she belonged to their dad and vice versa. Alivia then said she wanted Danny to give her a ring. Pretty adorable.

Overall, it is great to see Danny is definitely enjoying preschool and that the girls he talks about all the time to me think as highly of him as he does of them. Of course I hope the ring thing comes along closer to twenty-three rather than three. :)
