Today was a busy day! Saiya met her grandfather today while we stopped by there to pick up my mother. He spoke to her in Chinese and she was very shy, so she didnt say much. Although when he called and talked to her, she was responding like crazy, just in mumbles and whispers, so he couldnt really hear her.
We picked up my mother at lunch time and we all had a nice lunch together. We headed to the book store after that. Saiya LOVED the book store! She loves all kinds of books, especially the ones that look like the ones Chris and I read all the time. She had plenty of time in China to watch us read, so she has an amazing fascination with books. We bought her a couple of classics to read as bedtime stories and there are a few others I want to purchase online because the store didnt carry them. We also bought her a new coloring book because she has sped through her last three.
After the book store, it was on to Walmart for a few things and then we headed over the Nana's house to have some fun in the pool with her cousins. We were not sure how she would take to the pool since she wasnt really interested in the pool at the hotel in China. We thought that having her cousins there to show her how much fun it could be would be a big help. As it turns out, we were right! I brought stuff to blow bubbles with and the kids had a blast with the bubbles and the pool toys. We will definitely have to buy Saiya her own pool toys that are more her size. There was a small amount of bickering about who gets to use the donuts, but since Saiya can't swim, and she had it first, we let her keep it. Her cousin wasnt happy, but she found other toys to play with instead. By the time she got out of the pool for dinner, poor Saiya was so pruney!!! I dont think she ever spent so much time in the water before!
I'm glad she had a good day! Tomorrow we plan to take it easy. :)
