Holly has grown so tall, and just never seems to stop growing. At eight years old she is now as tall as her eleven year old sister, Myleigh, with both of them being Chinese it makes a fair comparison. although, Myleigh does not like to be compared to anyone, especially not her younger sister.
Language is still progressing, and Holly is completely fluent in English, with not a speck of Chinese left. That makes me so sad, but, she flat refuses to practice any other language. It's to be expected, as most kids adopted internationally will end up losing their native language in order to be able to immerse themselves in their new culture. She does want to learn Chinese in the future, just not now, and I'm okay with that. After all, she has to be able to get through public school in the U.S., and without strong English speaking, reading, and writing skills, that will be a challenge.
