Thursday morning in China

Just wanted to post a quick update and will try to get pics up later of our Wed. 

We had a nice day, pretty relaxing overall... The only "event" was going to the provincial museum.  It was really amazing and Emma is getting more at ease with us every day.  If you want to see her laugh there are a few ways; 1. Tickle her tummy 2. Lay her on your legs while you are sitting and let her throw her head backwards and my favorite 3. Tell her "no" or "boo" in chinese.  This was the one that made her laugh most of the museum trip.  Yeah, we are in a museum where they have artifacts that are thousands of years old that are truly amazing and Emma wants to just run around and climb into exhibits etc.  "Emma, NO, Emma, BOO!... Boo yow, (Emma says, haahhahahahahah) and climbs into thousand year old exhibit in blatant disregard for daddy"

Well, nice to see her smile and having fun.  Today we may try swimming and see how that goes. 

We ate lunch at "new island coffee" kinda fun place.  The chairs are couches and it is very pretty/relaxing place.  Jonah got something really good, mine - not so good.  Got girls little bowls of soup than ended up being huge bowls of noodle soup that all five of us could barely put a dent in them. 

Emma loves rice and is really picky right now with food.  She likes what she likes, is open to trying anything but if she does not like it then she will not eat, end of story.

This will change at home :)

Lots of hours just hanging out in hotel hallway and letting the kids play together.  Lily especially enjoys playing with a big beach ball and singing/dancing ring around rosie with Lily and Avery.

too funny...she's really showing herself, huh? I know what you mean, I think they all come home with habits that were learned that are eventually lovingly broken :) A museum and coffee house? You've got way more to do than we did in Hefei!
