Juju is the youngest in her class at preschool. The other children are at least six months older than her. However, her lack in age and stature does not prevent her from getting what she wants from other children.
When I went to pick her up last week, her teacher told me a funny story about her. During playground time that day, her classmates joined in a game and filled up all the spots before she could join.
Seeing that there was no spot for her, Juju went up to a three-year old boy named Alex and said, "Alex, it's peepee time for you!"
Alex obediently left his spot to go potty immediately, upon which Juju took up his spot, and made a face at the teacher standing by. Obviously she was fully aware of exactly what she was doing.
She's only two years old. I fear what she might be capable of conjuring up as she gets older.

I found you via Kimchi mama. Wow! And I'm so glad I did. I'm a Taiwanese-American, working mama to two young-uns on the right coast. I spent close to a decade in Asia (Taiwan/China/Indonesia) before coming back to the US to have babies. But now I'm so nostalgic for Asia, it's just killing me. I like your balanced approach to things in Beijing. And I know exactly what you mean when you talk about the conflict of being angered by blatant anti-Chinese sentiment by the expats and at the same time exasperated by the very same things.
I really hope you keep posting as you start working. Please email me, as I have been thinking about moving to China, though the idea of doing it w/ two kids in tow makes me want to throw up in my mouth a little.
