It's noon here on Thursday. We have one more day in Hunan and then it's off to Guangzhou tomorrow afternoon. We have late flight out around 8:30pm and it will take about 1 hr. We are curious to see how Reese will take her first flight.
We have had a slow day today. Just one outing to the embroidery plant. It was pretty neat. I think since it's so hot here, we just get one outing a day usually in the morning. The remainer of the the day we just spend in the hotel room playing with Yuan Yuan Reese. We found out the nannies had nicknamed Yong Ningyuan.. Yuan Yuan. So we have been calling her Yuan Yuan Reese hoping this will be a good transition to her English name.
We did hear her say one word yesterday. She must have been watching Mark phone home and she took her toy phone put it to her ear and said hello. Then of course it flew across the room. I believe her favorite pass time is throwing things. I told Mark we better put the wooden blocks we bought up for a while. I am fearing the damage this little one is going to be doing. But she's a good baby it's just going to take her some time to trust us and us to learn how to take care of her.

She is sooooo cute you guys! I can not wait to meet her.
As for food, do not hesitate to walk into the kitchen, point to veggies and then point to the wok and say "chow" (that means fried) If they still look confused, then point to the veggies again and make a motion like you are putting them all together and say "E Chee" (means together). Then nod and smile enthusiastically. They will grab stuff, put it together in the wok and fry it for you.
Try Kong Pow Gee Ding (kung pow chicken!) and Suh gee dough (basically lightly salted string beans - one of my favorites!)
Have fun, enjoy the culture and get some milk tea! I will be praying for you guys and again, am super excited about seeing you all before I move up to Boston. Love you
All toddlers throw things! :) Just God showing you that she is normal, healthy baby girl!!
