Chao lei's school work, while not much. took some extra effort. It seems that if it is not done in school, there is no reason to do it at home. Each assignment seemed to be a negotiation on par with North Korean nuclear talks. This was unusual for him. Normally, he enjoys his school work. I am believing his current reluctance is a result of his time away from school. He only required getting caught up as his mother does.
I was fortunate to acquire an OB appointment so quickly on my return. There is nothing wrong, but the gender reveal was satisfying. We will have a girl this time.
Jared is beyond excited. I have already received packages with little girl clothes that he has ordered. Some have been less than... attractive. I give him credit for trying though.Of course, the packages cause me to be curious of when he makes orders since there is only sporadic contact with his son and I through Skype. I will need to question him of this when he arrives home.
Speaking of arriving home, the ship is on week nine with no indications of their return time. They have posted some pictures of their activities. One would believe that in the number of photos they posted, at least one would have had Jared in it. Not so. At least we get to see they are doing well.
School is early in the new term so getting caught up there is easier than if it were the end of term. It is surprising how much students can forget in only a few short weeks. I would not have believed that a review would have been required so quickly.
I am returning to my routine though. I wish I could be as Chao lei and return so quickly to what normal.
You know what's funny? Ryan's never in any of the troop photos we get either. Ever. In allllll the photos we get, he's not in a single one. I'm so thrilled you're having a girl, and it's adorable Jared is sending girly clothes haha Ryan prefers not to buy, but rather critique my choices after the fact ;)
ReplyDeleteI am surprised that he buys girl clothes since he left buying boy clothes to me. Lol
