Aiko was beginning to learn fast. She's smart and it's not going to be surprising if she would make a difference when she grows up.
She would be enrolled in a private school when classes opened.
However, for the time being, Aiko was stuck with me.
"Oneesan!" raising the princess coloring book, a silhouette of Cinderella was displayed in the opened page which used to be plain white but was completely colored now, Aiko was smiling cheerfully, showing her work to me.
"Good job, Aiko. You're getting better at it."
"Oneesan taught me well."
Picking up the language only took Aiko a few months. Back in Japan, she and I could hardly have a normal conversation with her only speaking her mother tongue.
Yet, now, she has become talkative, having a cute accent while at it.
Gently patting her head, she went back to sit at her mini work table, flipping the next page of the coloring book and went ahead to color that drawing too.
