Scarlett Does Know a Bit More Chinese Than I Thought

I've realized that I failed in teaching Scarlett Chinese. Her few Chinese vocabulary words seem to dwindle more and more. But I was surprised that she remembers more than I think she does. This morning on our way to preschool, she asked if it was Saturday today. I replied that it was "TOO-sday". She then responded that "Tuesday" sounds like "rabbit" in Chinese (at least the first syllable does). I was surprised that she remembered the word for rabbit because we don't use it normally and the only times I've used the term was when I read her picture books when she was a baby/toddler. Ahhh, there's still hope.
