Having fun...

Lexie and her pal DouDou singing Chinese songs and dancing. They are so cute together.

At the park. The bear she is holding was hers she brough with her when we met her. If you tap it it sings this terrible Chinese song and the eyes light up. She LOVES it of course. Yesterday she had to bring it out with us. Each day she picks one of her stuffed animals or dolls to bring out.

Cole and Lexie Tian Tian on a ride at the park they had sooooo much fun!

Well we have been having such a great time with Lexie Tian Tian. She is so funny! She knows exactly what she wants and doesn't want.

Yesterday we spent the day at Qianling Park. It was so much fun. The kids went on rides, walked around and enjoyed the scenery. We were walking up the hill to where the monkeys roam free and Tian Tian stopped dead in her tracks. She wouldn't move and then I picked her up and she tightened her legs and shaking her head no. So everyone else continued up to the monkeys and we turned around and found a nice seat for a snack. She clearly had been to that park with her foster family and knew exactly where the monkeys where and did not like them. She has been so happy and having such a great time playing with Cole and her friends. The other woman we traveled with adopted a little girl that Tian Tian was clearly very good friends with. They have so much fun together and speak in Chinese to each other all the time. Sometimes we catch them whispering to each other and of course we wish we knew what they were saying! Kysle jokes and says they are probably talking about us.

She understands a lot of what we are saying which is so amazing to me. When she doesn't want something she shakes her head and puts her hand up to. It is so cute. She loves to sing and dance. She will be playing and singing Chinese songs. She is very talkative telling long Chinese stories too. She has been sleeping amazingly well. She sleeps through the night no problem so far. Today she didn't wake until after 8 a.m and Cole slept till 8:45 so that was great for us, well I should say for me because Kysle has been waking up around 5/5:30 every morning.

Today we head to the notary in the afternoon then hopefully a little shopping. Tomorrow we are off to the Mao Village for a daytrip. Then Friday we get her passport and fly to Guangzhou to meet up with the other 11 families in our travel group. We are looking forward to meeting back up with all our new friends and their children.

That's all for now...
