Last day in Nanjing







Today is our last day in Nanjing. We are having a quiet day in the hotel until we leave at 2:30. We walked to Starbucks this morning because I needed some real coffee. Before we leave I would like to list some things we have learned about Mia so far.

She likes:
1. Kyle
2. Anything Kyle does
3. Copying Kyle
4. Eating
5. Giving Kisses
6. French Fries
7. Books
8. Walking on her own
9. Her stuffed dog
10. Did I mention Kyle??

She Dislikes:
1. Anyone other than mom and Kyle talking to her
2. Transitions
3. Getting her diaper changed
4. Mom picking her up when she is playing with Kyle
5. Ice cream
6. Anything cold
7. People touching her

It has been an amazing week getting to know this special little girl. I still cannot believe that she is mine. The transition has been so smooth. She hardley ever cries. When she does all you have to do is put something in her hand or her mouth. She will carry a plastic spoon around all day long and cry if you take it from her. She goes to bed at 8:00 and sleeps until 6:00. When she sleeps she shakes her head and soemtimes she puts her arms up in the air and waves them back and forth. She looks like she at a rock concert but she is sound asleep.
She is the sweetest little girl and I am the luckiest mom in the world to have her.
Only a few more days and we will be home. Yeah!! Kyle has already taught her some many things, like "touch down" When he yells touchdown she throws her hands up in the air. When he says "you" she points directly at him and laughs her head off. He has shown her how to give him some "skin" with her fist hitting his. I can only imagine what the rest of the boys will teach her. She is a quick learner and I know I am in trouble especially if Logan shows her any of his "finger" tricks....
