Out And About

We did a bit of sightseeing today around Guangzhou.  We started at a beautiful Buddhist temple - The Temple of Six Bayan Trees - where Sofie Hongyan was blessed by a monk - it was quite lovely and very moving.  We can tell she has been raised a Buddhist.  When she sees a photo of Buddha, she bows with hands in prayer...amazing.  Then we headed off to some sort of gallery or museum - I did not get to see it as Silly Sofie fell asleep on the way over and I did not want to wake her, so she & I stayed on the bus.  Back to the hotel for good quality family time and a movie to finish off the day.

"Aw" moment of the day...we've been watching Kai Lan videos (and reading books - thanks Nana Joyce!) I downloaded on iTunes and in one of the episodes Kai Lan teaches the Chinese word for happy and sings a song about being happy.  Sofie Hongyan & I were playing on the bed giving each other kisses and we decided to get Baba.  We each took a cheek and started planting kisses on and hugging Brandon.  Then little Silly starts singing the Kai Lan song about being happy...it was SO precious!
