Post from Dad 2013/12/21

The first day of winter saw three of my kids wearing shorts.  And many people asking them if they are cold in Mandarin.  We could actually understand them.

We needed shorts today, due to all of the physical activities we were able to do.  From some of the information we gathered from friends and from our guides from the adoption agency, we changed how we worked with Fu Lian today.  We were more ready for him today than any other day..  We had physical activities ready and allowed him to run a lot more.

We were afraid of being out with him due to not be able able to control him.  However, we had a great time exploring Guangzhou.  We went to 2 different parts and an island.  We had a great time and him and I had our best day together.

We are learning more and more about how Fu Lian has been taught these 6 years.  He may never have heard the words THANK YOU or have to say PLEASE.  He was a loved child in his foster care program so he got almost everything he wanted.  This information, your prayers and your information has helped us get more connected with our new son.

For dinner, we got away from Chinese - we went to The Coffee Shop - an Australian Restaurant.  We had 4 hamburgers and shared the fries.  It was really good, but Fu Lian ate his burger bun first, then the actual burger.  He loves dipping things and putting things in his drinks.  It is nasty to us, but he likes it....
