As Much as She Knows

First we gave her the idea that we are going to visit China. Sienna has frequented the country in the past two years and has good feelings about it. Everyday she rushes us to go. All is happy except the lack of swing set. The big part of reason is, as she puts it, "my grandma gives me whatever I want." Then I told her we are going for a long trip. "Like 6 weeks?" she asked. I'd mention that Rachel would probably go over to visit us for Christmas. She looked at me, "that long?" Later I told her that everything in the house must go including her bedroom set. We will get a brand new set for her when we come back. "The bed will have a canopy on top?" Yesterday, Daddy hinted that she is going to a different school in China. This morning, she asked if she would be 7 years old when she comes back here. "I better spend my 7 year old birthday in China. My grandma will buy me a piano." I said we will go there and feel it out. We will come back early if we like it. Or we will stay longer.
