One great part of school for Danny is he now knows children closer to his age and enjoys getting together with them outside of school. This week we played with his friend Liam on Tuesday and Tayton on Friday. Both of these boys are American and are about his same age. For his playdate with Liam, we headed over to his house and played there with his older brother Mackenzie. The kids had a great time and we finished the time off by going to the park. Friday we had Tayton over to our house, and the boys really had a great time. They played with the trains and cars and then ended up downstairs with our pretend swords (made out of that foam rubber material).
On Wednesday, I had a great morning with my friend Erin. I had Josh stay home with Hong Li and it was nice to just visit and not have to worry about what Josh was doing (i.e.--ready to pour the salt and pepper out on the table, etc...) We again went to the pearl market and browsed around and then headed over to eat lunch.
On Saturday we went out with our friends Lindsay and Joel to celebrate Joel's birthday. We each had our ayis come and watch the boys (we did not leave until almost 7, so the boys were mostly ready for bed) and we headed out for sushi. This was my first time experiencing sushi (unless you count the airline's version of it), and it was really good. This gave me a small preview of what we might experience on our trip to Japan next week.
Overall, the week was great. It has really cooled off here--going from 80 to 50 and now 40 in a span of a couple of days. It is finally feeling like fall and I am looking forward to the holidays. It is so nice to see Danny meeting and enjoying friends here in Shanghai and I am enjoying meeting all of their moms a little more in depth.
