Lilly and Ellie hanging out around Green Lake. Lilly has said several times "My mommy!" Then I tell her "I am Ellie's mommy too". Her reply "Lilly's mommy
first!" The "first" is really exaggerated! It is too funny.
Lilly wanted to ride, but she wanted Mom right beside her the whole time!
Fulton and Solomon riding the kiddy toys. David and Fulton also rode on bumper cars. Ellie cried as soon as the ride started moving.
Tonight we went for a walk around Green Lake with our friends Nathan, Rebecca, and Solomon. We had a fun and enjoyable evening. Ellie finally consented to sitting in the stroller although it took juice and cookies to get her there. Lilly enjoyed walking so it was a nice, relaxing evening unlike this afternoon at the Flower Market.
It is hard to get a good picture of Ellie. It's like she tries to avoid the camera. I sat outside the bathroom door and knew when she came around the corner and saw me , she would smile. It worked!
After our trip to the Flower Market, it was time for Kathy to leave. We really enjoyed our time with her and are so thankful for her coming all the way to Kunming to visit us and meet Ellie.
We passed by the hospital where Ellie recently had her cleft lip repaired. I saw Yunnan #1 People's Providential Hospital and yelled to the driver to please stop so we could get a picture.
Lilly and Ellie playing in the play area at the restaurant. We spent the morning at the flower market which was full of vendors selling beautiful cut flowers as well as dried flowers. There were also other vendors selling various items. We had a good morning and got some shopping done for our girls back home. Lilly and Ellie only wanted Mom. Kathy was with us and was a huge help!!! Ellie hated the stroller as did Lilly. I got very tired and did not get to do as much looking and shopping as I would have liked. The day got better after lunch and nap time though.
Little Lilly with Mom's sunglasses on at lunch. Due to her fever, she has had very little appetite which makes meals difficult because she is bored and doesn't want to eat. At this restaurant, there was a small play area and that helped to occupy her some.
Lilly and Ellie watching "Culture Cubs". This is a DVD with a panda bear who speaks Mandarin and a teddy bear who speaks English. There is singing, dancing, and lots of Chinese culture represented in the video. Lilly has always liked it and now Ellie does too!
The girls are really starting to connect. They share food with each other without being prompted and tonight at dinner, they started giggling as they were kicking each other's feet under the table.
