Caily visits Graydon and Ethan's grade 2 and 5 classes at Farley Mowat Public School in Barrhaven

On Friday, Graydon and Ethan presented their slide show on their visit to
Vietnam. Their teachers asked Miranda if Caily would come to visit the
classes on Monday. Of course! Any chance to see her big brothers.
It was a great visit. The students were fantastic! Very kind and
enthusiastic. We had lots of great questions like: what does "Vietnam" mean?
How long did it take to adopt Caily? Why did I choose Vietnam? What's her
birthday? What's her favorite thing? Did she like having Graydon and Ethan
there? Does she say any English words yet? We talked about all the
motorcycles in Hanoi and how a "force-field" appeared around us when we
crossed the road. Miranda showed the kids the Vietnamese currency (the
dong) and they were envious of Graydon when he told them the toothfairy left
him 200,000 dong. When I asked the group what they remembered/liked about
the slide-show they said: "the waterslides"... ha ha ha...
Caily did not disappoint. She sat there eating her cheerio's and trying to
share them with the kids in the first row. It was a great pleasure to visit
the school and see all the kids in her "big brother's" classes. Thanks
everyone!!!
