Day 5 - First Kisses




Sarah has been doing just fine in bonding with us (mostly daddy!). Today we visited a beautiful gardens. We borrowed a stroller from Sherry's Place and Sarah pushed it through the gardens which gave Reese's back a rest. After strolling the gardens, we had ice cream and convinced Sarah to get in the stroller to eat it. She then discovered it was fun to ride in it and makes brrrmmm brrrmmm noises to tell us she wants to go faster.

On the way to dinner tonight, there was a battle of wills as Reese wanted Sarah in the stroller and she wanted him to carry her. She threw a major, head flinging tantrum in the stroller that ended in a tearful compromise of her walking and holding daddy's hand. After a good dinner, she went back in the stroller with no problem, so two points for daddy!

The families we traveled with in Beijing arrive from their respective provinces tonight, so we will be with a group for the rest of our stay.

We ended the evening with another fun bubble bath for 2 girls and cuddles in bed. Sarah gave us her first kisses, starting with a peck on the cheek for daddy, then one each for mama and Elizabeth. Elizabeth continues to be a great big sister. She claims to do half of the diaper duty. Mom, of course, gets the first half!
