October 7^th 2010 Yun Tai Gardens

Yesterday I forgot to mention that  Kai said “daddy” and “da da” for the first time! We only worked on it once! He is so smart!!!! It was clear as day!

Kai slept well, but he is not in the best of moods. He isn’t grumpy, but is not smiling and laughing as much as usual. His abdomen is distended and I think he is uncomfortable. All things considered, he is very well behaved. I still have not completely caught up on my sleep, so I am tired. We are getting tired of the same breakfast every day. I think tomorrow I will just have toast.

It is very humid and warm today. We went to the Yun Tai Gardens, a HUGE park and garden, the biggest of its kind in Guangzhou. I loved watching the kids play in the fountains. Several children wanted to say Hello to us! How sweet! I loved talking to them! Kai on the other hand, gets so jealous! He gives the kids a dirty look and won’t talk to them at all! It looks like he is telling the kids telepathically, “Hands off! These are my parents!” It is kind of cute. It only happens to the children that we pay attention to. He loves to watch kids until they start talking to Roger or me.

After we get home, Kai goes down for a nap and wakes up with a full diaper and a happy smile! Yay, my baby feels better! He is now himself and as happy as can be. My sweet baby keeps kissing me and talking to me with a sweet loving voice. We are so blessed to have this angel.
