Having just flown in from Shanghai the day before, I returned to the Toronto Airport on August 12 to pick up Mary, Lucy and Geoffrey who travelled back to Canada from Kunming via Beijing.
Geoffrey had been there since the end of May. He was obviously very happy to be home this morning. He played quietly by himself with his toys that he had been away from for 2 and a half months. For lunch he had his favourite food, shepherd's pie into which he mixes some ketchup. After lunch we went for a swim in the condo pool (just the two of us in there the whole time). Geoffrey spent a long time in the bath afterwards playing with his boats and plastic figures of pirates, etc. For supper I made him a hamburger. He watched a video and spoke to me in English only all day.
Nothing much happened. But I feel that perhaps we could not have had a better day together. It has been a day to keep in memory for all its simple joy.
