She laughs!!!!!! She cleans?!?

It only took a few hours, a good nap, half a vat of chicken congee and 2 fish sticks, but Miss Ke Xin has started to come out of her shell!!! Amazingly, she is laughing and playing with all of us. She is totally entertained by her big sister. Olivia was re-energized by a several hour nap (thank heavens!) and the remaining fish sticks, and she was in the mood to get to know her little sister better. The funniest part of the evening for me was when Ke Xin held out her comb to Olivia - and when Olivia reached to take it, Ke Xin pulled it back, fast as a whip and laughed and laughed. That is exactly how Mark used to play with Olivia when she was a baby!! So, the child has a sense of humor. Yeah!!!!

She also likes to clean! She and Olivia were playing tug of war with some wet wipes and Ke Xin proceeded to clean her sippy cup, legs and shoes with one of them. She was very thorough. She's tried on all of her shoes, but her old sandals are her favorites.

For Debbi's friends - I don't think she will be emailing you tonight. It's 9pm and she is totally sacked out on the bed with her mouth hanging open. I would take a picture of her, but then she would kill me. And she got the lucky chore of changing not 1, but 2 poopy diapers while I was out doing paperwork. Ha! Ha!

Everyone is asleep but me. Let us pray that no one wakes up bright as a bunny at 3am like they have the last 2 nights...
