It was "bath day" again for this little man. We knew it would be hard but it had to happen. We heard from his nannies that he does actually love taking a bath. So, we figure it's the "being so vulnerable" that he is getting used to. The bath lasted longer, 2.5 minutes, I was able to wash more of him and he cried for a bit longer afterwards. We strategically followed up bath time with lunch. He was right as rain within minutes and back to his fun-loving self.
At breakfast he used a straw for his juice. He didn't seem to be able to drink from an open cup or use a straw as of 4 days ago. The nannies told us he still got a bottle each morning. I also taught him how to hold a spoon properly at lunch. He loved that. He seems eager to feed himself. We were also told that part of Chinese culture is that the children don't do much for themselves so teaching him these things is fun and he seems excited to do them.
Some bum-push-ups today with dad.
He hasn't been a fan of quick movements but today he enjoyed this little ride.
All smiles!
Sorry for the bum shot of daddy-O but I wanted to show little man checking on his little sister. This was the first time that he was awake before her at nap time. He really wanted to get her up to play. So cute. When one of them is awake they think the other one should be too.
Horsey rides with dad.
He loved this as you can tell.
It's hard to get a good picture of this little guy.
He's so quick.
Another blurry yet adorable picture of this sparkle!
Little mommy caring for her bro. This is one of his sad moments.
Literally LH runs to get a tissue and come rub his back to help soothe him.
Best parts of the day:
-- we (the parents) for to hang out during nap time, watch a movie and pack for our travels tomorrow. One of both of us usually nap when they do.
-- baby girl said to her daddy this afternoon,"Dad you go sit. I'm playing with TyTy."
They played together for about 40 minutes. So cool!
--little man rolled toward me during nap time today and fell asleep. We usually put him in the middle of our huge bed for his nap. He plays for a bit and then lays down to sleep.
Something very interesting:
Our guide from CCAI came to our hotel room tonight to deliver the official documents we need for the next city. Ty had just woken up so daddy was holding him. I needed to review each piece for accuracy (10 documents with 5 pages in each set) so we asked him to come in and have a seat. Daddy tried to put our little guy down and he totally melted. Out came the crying. Poor guy. We wondered if he associated our guide with the loss he is feeling. Daddy quickly picked him back up and he settled, oh and another snack. Our guide has been with us for each step of the process translating and taking care of the legal documents.
