Titus has a new pal, LL., who came to visit for a few days. LL is 3 months older than Titus. He lives in the northern part of our province with his Grandma, while his mom works at the family-run bread shop near our house. LL's mom, a friend of mine, has been seeing her son every few months.
This living situation is not uncommon across China. Parents look for work to support the family, and the retired Grandparents care for the children. Sometimes these families are living together or close by; in other cases they are separated by many miles.
LL to Titus: "Dude, why does your family hang all the toys on this weird tree?"
Titus to LL: "Beats me dude! Let me show you how to pull this tree over!"
[Thankfully the tree has only been toppled once.]
Love your stockings! Really fun! How have you been feeling Rachel?
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got some decorations!! And wow! looks like Titus is a lil social butterfly already, just like his parents. :) We think of you daily here in Europe.
