What are they doing?

It's 6:53 pm in China right now. Is Jewel ready for bed? Does she sleep alone in her foster mom's bed until they come to bed? Does she take a bottle before heading to sleep? Is there a special blanket or stuffed animal she needs? Her crib is in her room. Wether or not she uses it is another post. I can't post pictures of her room. It has become the staging area for packing. Everytime I run across something to pack we put it on her bed. But all of that will be in suitcases soon enough and out of her way.

Joseph is probably still awake. What does he do for entertainment? Is he the only child in his foster family? Do they play card games or puzzles? Is he running around outside after the rain, enjoying the cool? Maybe he is playing with his Ultraman action figures we sent. Or asking questions to his foster mom about school? Does he go to school yet?

At 7pm in our household we are usually just finishing with dinner, talking and watching a movie together as a family. Last night D was biking and E was on the scooter on our road. The store closes at 6pm on school nights for the past year so we can enjoy some of our evenings. Has Joseph ever ridden a bike? We know they have bikes in China but I'm not sure about training wheels. So maybe not. I did get him the cutest bicycle. It looks like a motorcycle with red, white & blue streamers all over. He can remove them if he doesn't like. It has training wheels too. And a petal go cart to try out in the yard or at the park. Jewel also has a baby scooter to ride. We are going to try to clean out the shop so the kids can ride even in bad winter weather.
