The Chinese word for teacher is Lao Shi and Landon is becoming our Chinese teacher or Lao Shi Landon. While driving in the car he enjoys giving lessons in counting. He can give his entire birth day, month and year all in Chinese. He is also picking up the local dialect known as Shanghai-nese. As he is imparting all his daily Mandarin learnings to us, our driver Mr. Dong is listening in and every once in a while will turn around and give a big smile, thumbs up and a hearty "Hen hao! Landon" We are very proud of him. Of course Mason and Regan are also quickly surpassing me - no surprise there - in the local language. I still have one up on my lovely bride however.
Regan's class trip to Beijing leaves on Monday morning and they will be gone for 5 days. In preparation for the trip the teachers asked the students to bring in their digital cameras for some lessons in photography. Regan did a really nice job on some of the shots and I have posted some of them here. I am looking forward to what images he will capture in and around Beijing.
