Our guide, Anita, surprised us with a cake and a special Chinese birthday candle at dinner last night. You light the candle, it opens like a flower and plays Happy Birthday. She said the celebration was of the birth of our family of four! Both girls loved the candle and the cake. Talia has been a trouper. She's teething, 6 teeth in and more are coming, and seems to have a little cold. She likes the infant's Tylenol that "Aunt Jacquie" gave her, and she's just not fussy at all, unless it's bath time. Apparently bath time was not so much fun at the orphanage. We've tried the baby bathtub :( and 3 girls in the big tub :( So far, not so good. We'll persevere--luckily she smells good! Today we're going to the Chongqing Zoo. This region is famous for its Panda Bears, and we'll see Giant Pandas too. Lydia and Talia are having their "sister time" on the big bed. Lydia has Talia in her sun hat that we bought for our outing, and and the girls are playing with stuffed animals and a music toy that's been a big hit. So have the stacking cups, but at the moment we're having a hard time finding them! Zoo pics to come . . . Pics are up. We loved the giraffe close up and Lydia took the two scenery pictures at a pretty pond--one looking down at goldfish, the other at the winding creek, look out Aunt Eileen, another photographer in the family!
