26 LBS and Shots

Today I took Mia to the hospital to get her shots. She has been with us for almost 8 months now. When we took her to the hospital when we first came home from China she weighed in at 22 lbs. Today she hit the 26lb mark. She was having a great time at the clinic up until they gave her the shots. She screamed for a few minutes then she wanted to let everyone know she was hurt. She had a very sad face and kept pointing to her legs. She came home and took a nice long nap. When I pulled her pants down to put her on the potty she discovered the wounds again. She has her brothers feeling sorry for her. I took some pictures of her feeling sorry for herself.

Potty Training

We are in the process of potty training our Mia Mei. It has been tough at times and I think it is the language problem. She is starting to communicate to us when she needs to go. She will either pull us to the potty chair or drag the potty chair across the house to us. She has her own potty "station" complete with toys, a blanket and a place to rest her cup. I really thought she would be very easy to potty train. I have resorted to a sucker jar that she can see from her throne. When she successfully goes she points to the jar and she is rewarded with a sucker.
