Well, the second time was a charm! This morning, I told Wu Yi we were going back to school and she nodded her head "ok". To sweeten the deal, I told her we would go to the "Happy Cat Room" at the local animal shelter to pet and play with the cats afterward. She was very excited about this! We arrived at the school and she walked confidently in, met Cheryl, took her hand, and headed to class! She remained with Cheryl the entire hour and was content the entire time! She participated in the "alphabet sounds" activity (she can identify almost all of her capital and lower case letters ~ although she won't try to say them) and she wrote her name in English letters (I taught her that) and in Chinese characters as well. She returned to me triumphant and "told" me she was ready to pet some cats. :) (I won't go into details about the moment I realized that the shelter is actually closed on Thursdays ~ my bad . . . . OK, to spare my reputation, I will tell you that I worked hard to track down some baby bunnies to pet instead.)
Oh, and she gave me a spontaneous hug today!!!!!
Ohmigosh, the news just gets better and better! That hug must have been worth its weight in gold.
