Yes, it's true. Our little girl has inherited a playset from the neighbors who were no longer using it. We set it up yesterday. When she got off the school bus today, she bolted towards the house yelling "slide!" I'll go out and snap a couple of pictures of her in a few minutes. She is changing into her "play clothes" to head out. A swing, a glider, a slide and a playhouse...all for you!! I cannot possibly imagine what is going on in this little girls mind. She doesn't seem to remember any Mandarin...everytime I point to some Chinese characters and ask her what it says, she simply says "ni hao." However, she IS talking more about China, which she refers to as "my China". She remembers who Tao Ji Yuan is (her) and even corrected us on how to pronounce it...Tow Jee Yen...not WEN. We need to make notes because she's not gonna remember any of this in a year or so.
We are getting a package ready for our translator Evelyn who lives in Beijing. There is another group from our agency heading there in 2 days so one of the case workers has agreed to hand carry something to her. We got her a picture book on Chicago. We told her that when she gets a visa to come here, she can stay with us. Laura said she could be our nanny!
OK...I will add playset pictures later. In the meantime, here are some Easter pix.
This is adorable!
