Learning Thai

Today was a big day for Claire. It was the last day of summer term AND she finally got enough stickers on her behavior chart to earn her new bike! For the last month she's been earning star stickers for doing her jobs without complaining, good work at school, obedience, getting along with Eliza, etc. (and losing a few stickers for the opposite thereof!) After all that hard work, we had a reward date this afternoon that included ice cream at Swenson's and Claire chose her bike (she outgrew her first one and we decided it was time to pass it on to Eliza).

With her reward chart. Oh the excitement with the 30th star went on today!

She thought she was quite the grown-up choosing coffee ice cream with extra chocolate chips!

As you can see, Eliza was pretty happy with her chocolate with sprinkles too.

Trying out her tricked out bike on our street...complete with a bell, a doll carrier and handle bar streamers. What more could you ask for? She's thrilled!

We're having a good week around here- finishing up school and getting in meetings and team odds and ends before Tom heads to the Burmese border again all next week. I promise, the next entry is Tom in skirts!
