Progress is made in baby steps

Hi all, this will be a short post. Gale and I are making progress, but as they say in baby steps. Today, we went on a bus ride to this area in Nanning called the Green Mountain. It was beautiful, and it was just nice to get out of the hotel and explore some sites outside the area. When we returned to the hotel, we took a stroll to the Peoples Park and visited this amusement park. It was fun, until Li Na had a memory spell or something, and just sorta started crying. So, I whipped out her Cheerios, and voila - she was smiling and happy again. So, just when we think we have made progress, we take one forward, and then two steps backwards. But, it's all good, and each day her personality shows. She is a very particular individual, loves to mimic, strong willed, loves to be clean, but hates baths, sweet, and very, very smart. She's learned a couple of words already, i.e., "what's that", pink, bathroom, daddy, mama etc.... She, also knows how to use chopsticks, and boy, does this girl like to eat. And, did, I tell you, she loves to dress up. She loves, stockings, shoes, anything - she just enjoys dressing. The 24 mos. clothes we have are kinda big - so they swim on her,. She's tall but lean. But, maybe after being with us in a month she'll fit them perfectly.... Anyway, Gale will be returning tomorrow to post. I believe little Li Na wore her daddy out today. Who knew a 2 1/2 foot little person could have so much energy....Tomorrow we are headed to a Nanning Village in the country side...
