Free Day

 Oh this girl... she is such a hot mess!  We had a free day today.  Went to the zoo and aquarium.  She had to put on all her bling before we left the room.  She recited Confucius poems all the way to the zoo, to the amazement of our guide and driver.  She has been taught SO MUCH!  She can sing ABCs and Twinkle Twinkle and Happy Birthday in English-and does so often as well.  When we arrived at the zoo, she said she wanted to see the pandas and the "fush." (Her pronunciation of fish.)  After seeing the Pandas, she saw a Panda umbrella she had to have.  She said she liked the red best so Baba got it for her.  She pranced around with it like she was hot stuff.  Then Baba decided she also needed the pink, in case this one broke.  And he got one for his other baba's girl, Quinn:)

 From that point on, she had a one track mind for "fush."  We would say "Kahn.  Look!" " No.  I want to see the fush."  Oh geez.  This girl thinks she runs the show!  Well, we finally went to the aquarium to the dolphin show.  She wanted to hold baba's hand the entire time.  SO sweet!

After the zoo, we went to lunch.  On the way, Feng Lin told Susan she saw the dolphin street lights.  (All in Mandarin) "Yes Feng Lin.  How many do you see?"  "I see two, but there are more ahead."  By the end of our walk... "There are sixteen dolphins auntie."  Susan told us how amazed she was and I responded, "Oh my gosh!" To which Feng Lin replied, (in English) "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!"  This girl is going to give us a real run for our money!
Los of appointments tomorrow.  Wish we could speed things up.  The pollution is making us miserable.  Coughing, allergies, difficult to even want to step foot outside.  Sad to pull Feng Lin from all she knows, but so grateful she will grow up with fresh air to breathe and plenty of fush to catch with Owen:)
Love to all.
