Guangzhou - Aug. 2

Today was fairly uneventful... We met our guide at 9:30 and he took us to the ChenTemple.  We had gone there 4 yrs. ago but this time David (our guide) explained more to us - last time we were just let loose to figure it out on our own.  It was interesting... Afterwards, we went to the toy market to do some shopping for our precious gems back home:)  This was a "wholesale" market and no bartering there - We were fairly successful:) Tomorrow after we get Maylynn's tb test read (which looks good to us) we will go to the Pearl/Jade Market.

 

This afternoon we had a fairly successful time taking her swimming - there is a baby pool that we hung out in - i wanted to take some pics but they wouldn't allow it around the pool area...

 

She is such a good player - it is so much fun playing with her during our little "play therapy" sessions:)  She loves to copy my marks when coloring and whenever we are done playing with anything - she is SO good about cleaning up and putting her things away!  Oh and she loves the stacking cups - i've never seen any child play with them as long as she does - they've been a hit too:)

 

Maylynn is doing better - we are starting to think that her little crying/whining fits are out of habit now.  I've been able to do pretty much everything for her/with her -she'll cry a little bit but it's kind of a dramatic cry and she easily stops when we are done getting her dressed or help her go potty etc...  we try not to make a big deal out of it - we'll console her and tell her it's okay etc... but then we move on.  Like i said in an early post - we pick and choose our battles...

 

We've begun the countdown until we go home :)
