A few more photos of Teddy's birthday at TAS

Here are a few more photos that Michael took of Teddy at TAS on his birthday!


This is from PE class.  Teddy got to wear a crown all day so everyone knew that it was his special day.



We brought cupcakes in for the kids to enjoy.  Here is the before picture.



And here is the after picture.  So cute!

Celebrating Teddy's Birthday at TAS

We brought cupcakes to Teddy's KA class yesterday afternoon.  It was fun to hear the children sing Happy Birthday in English and Chinese, and to see Teddy with all of his little friends!

Teddy wasn't too thrilled about being photographed.  He has had a lot of pictures taken of him lately.

First photo as a four year old!

Last photo as a three year old

Teddy's First Day of KA!

Cute Little Note

This is what Michael wrote to me after he went out to see Teddy get on the KA bus to go home after his first official day at school:

"Just saw him  off on the bus with Cayden and Kingston. He was very happy and relaxed, perfect little monkey! He had a nice painting. Rachel said he was perfect, chatty and busy. I went by earlier and saw him playing outside in the sand box, very determined and focused."

Teddy's First Day of KA

The "Kinder Cave" - the entrance to the KA and K part of the school.  The kids will all meet as a grade in this area.

Dinner at the Brennan's House

The Brennans invited us over for dinner two nights before we flew back to Taipei. We had a wonderful time catching up on summer fun and starting to say goodbye.
