International Children's Day!!

Today, In China, is International Children's day! They celebrate children, They have fun, be merry, happy and do fun and exciting things with children. I remember when we were in Hohhot, the guide was a little worried that we may not be permitted to visit the SWI because they might have already started preparations for this event. I would love to see what all happens on this day in Chinese orphanages.

Today, we are going to celebrate all the children that within my childcare. We are going to do paintings, special chinese snacks and do special activites. I will say a little prayer for all the children in all orphanages, foster care or where ever they maybe, that is needing a forever family, fines the love of a family soon.

I want to thank Hohhot SWI for taking such wonderful care of our princess and loving her unconditionally,knowing she will one day be adopted. That's genuine love folk's, not many people in Canada, including myself will offer our hearts that know will hurt in the end. These nannies in orphanages, offer their love,support and hearts at any cost. Thank you Hohhot SWI and especially Wang Feng Yan's nanny.
