Mama

Well, the word for today is "Mama" - always. Mama has to carry her. Mama has to go where she goes. Mama has to do everything for her. Mama can't be out of her sight. But as for "Baba", she doesn't want anything to do with him. Even though we were prepared for her possibly doing this with one of us, it's not easy to have it happen. It's good that she is beginning to come to Mama for her needs though and in time, she'll be doing the same with her Daddy.

This morning at breakfast she did let Daddy take her to pick out some food from the buffet. He pointed to the boiled eggs and asked her if she wanted one and she said "yes"! Later our guide asked her if she wanted something and she said "no"! We were very surprised to hear her English.

We went to a "clothing exhibition" today as we were shopping. In some ways it reminded us of a home show. Besides all kinds of clothing, there were salesmen with their microphones selling things like apple peelers and special clothes hangers.

I'm including a picture of the streets of Yinchuan City and a picture of Katie working hard with her chopsticks.

It's a beautiful day in Yinchuan today. We're heading to the park after her nap. Tomorrow it should go up to 60 degrees. That's a real switch from the last few days.
