Same Bat Time, Same Bat Channel

We had a breakthrough today!! Mike carried Maya from the playroom on the ground floor all the way up to our room on the14th floor with very little protest and lots of smiles. We had to bypass our room and go to the Lazars to show them our progress. We didn't have our camera and they have some really good pics that we'll have to get. Mike was so happy and they were both sweating. We may try the Bjorn tomorrow so Mike can carry her a little more.


Who knew paper could be so fun? Our guides slip tomorrows detailed itinerary under our door each night. Tonight when we went to answer the door for our turn down service, Maya spotted the itinerary and laughed as hard as we've seen her laugh while crumbling up the paper. It was really cute...I know you may have trouble believing that.


It was quite chilly today. We ventured out to Carrefour (like a Wal-mart) and had to bundle the girls up like snowmen. Maya needs to get used to this anyway. It really did feel like winter after the 70-80 degree days we've been having.


Maya took a couple of steps last night in the playroom all on her own. She loves to be held up like this but so far hasn't offered to step. The progress that all of these girls have made in such a short period of time is incredible.


These trees are at the Guangzhou zoo yesterday. There are paper lanterns and things like these hanging all over. Just like you would imagine China would be.


This is a family shot at the zoo yesterday. It was a beautiful day compared to today.


Goodnight Moon and goodnight bloggers everywhere!
Congrats on your TA Carrie...you'll be here soon!
We are getting so close to coming home. We can't hardly wait. We are almost as excited to come home as we were to come here. This trip has been nothing like we had in mind. Our itinerary for tomorrow says at the bottom, "You can start packing today!!" We are so happy to hear that.
