It's nap time again! Hard to believe we have had Cao Fu Hai for almost 3 days now...
Here are some fun things we are discovering about him
1) he can feed himself with a spoon, fork AND chopsticks!
2) he loves kicking a ball
3) he puts things away after he uses them (future Montessori kid!)
4) he LOVES to sing- in fact, he sings all the time! totally cute!
5) he likes to be helpful- he brings us our shoes after we put his on, puts things in the fridge, and hands us kleenex.
6) he HATES taking a bath and getting his teeth brushed- last nite I told him, "gan jing ya chi" (clean your teeth) and he got upset (he knew EXACTLY what I was saying!)
Last night we ventured across the street to a restaurant our guide recommended to us- she wrote out items for us to order- which we gave the servers- we had Kung Pao chicken (which originated here Guizhou), sweet dumplings, a pork dish, some vegetables, and steamed egg for Fu Hai. The local food here is spicy- but good!
Today we toured another famous Guiyang landmark- Jia Xiu Lou- and then went to a government run museum and store to buy some gifts for Zach from his province.
XiXi continues to be a trooper- yesterday at the monkey park, she had a terrible episode of diarrhea and managed to hang in there with the sub-par squatties!!! More than I could have done! She is loving her little brother!
My sister, Jennie, has been a HUGE help- can't even begin to describe how amazing it has been having her along!
Gotta go- someone just woke up!

Hope she didn't have to use the squatties in the monkey park... They're Terrible!
One minor correction on the Chinese in #6:
* "Gan1 jing4" is most often used for the adjective sense of "clean." For the verb sense, some other different term would be used. If the imperative is intended here, you could say "shua1 ya2" for "brush [your] teeth."
