a picture's worth what again?

People ask me all the time 'how's Wyatt doing in school?'.  He's in Chinese immersion, like Henry, and perhaps people are thinking they better check on him since we are forcing him to learn Chinese (and plan on him saving us come their world domination) or maybe they're just curious since he's in Kindergarten, I don't know...

Wyatt jumped off the bus last week with a book in hand.  They make these little paper books, stapled together, pretty much weekly.  The books are pretty stinkin' cute and it's over-the-top-adorable when he reads it to me in Chinese.  And no, I don't speak Chinese.  Which is almost always the second question people ask me after wondering 'how Wyatt is doing'.

But Wyatt's picture book for this week was pretty easy to figure out.  One page says something like 'this is me and I'm xx years old'. 

(Worth noting is exactly how much detail he put into drawing himself and then notice the ones to follow.  Also worth noting is the freakish amount of candles on his cake, it's because he comes from a family who puts candles on anything.  I once even put candle on a hot dog, a birthday dog... so, yes, the poor boy is confused.)

Wyatt's 'this is me'
Next, 'this is my dad'
'This is my brother'

'My little sister'

and then there's me...

 
He told me that he meant to draw a smiley face, but he got confused and didn't have time to do it over... blah, blah, blah.
 
Anyone else not buying that?

Lol! Well- you win some you lose some :)

That is so cool that he is learning Chinese from such a young age.

That is hilarious and I would love to pick your brain about Chinese immersion. The hubs and I speak a little Mandarin after living in China for three years, but I'm scared of teaching it to my kids because I know my pronunciation is bad. "Grass", when said the wrong way, is... bu hao ;)
