Little Annika is now 21 months old. This is significant because as of this month, she has lived in the United States for over half of her life. She was 10 months old when we left China, where she was born. Her citizenship is further solidified - at least for the time being - although her eligibility for the office of President of the United States is still a bit questionable (anyone recall the birther debates?)
This is particularly interesting to me because she is the only one of my kids to strike that mark so far. Lilly lived in the U.S. until she was 2 years old. She lived in China until she was 5 1/2 years old. She has been back for 11 months. That's nearly 3 years in the states, and almost 4 years in China. She should crack that mark while we're still living in Virginia.
Sophia moved to China when she was only 9 months old, and has lived her the same 11 months. At over 5 years old, her paltry 20 months in the states are a small fraction of her life. Interestingly, China will likely remain her longest home for a long time.
