Sightseeing in Guangzhou

Today we went to the Six Banyan Tree Temple in Guangzhou. Here I had Taylor blessed by a Buddhist Monk along with the other kids in the group. Afterwards we went to the Chen Family Temple. This was really nice and the carvings on the roofs were beautiful. In the afternoon for those interested we went to a fabric market to select fabric to have traditional chinese clothes made. Of course we went. I am having a really pretty purple jacket with a Chinese design sewn in gray on the material made and another jacket (different style) of black and burgundy with a Chinese design . We get to go back and pick them up on Thursday.

Tomorrow we hit the jade and pearl markets and get the results of the TB test that was taken on Saturday. Keep your fingers crossed that it is negative. We are really enjoying the warm weather here. Get to spend lots of time outside enjoying it.

Taylor continues to amaze me each day. Baths are getting better...doing them at the sink. Maybe by the time we go home we will advance to the tub. She has a new ball to play with and loves throwing it around. She has started waving hi and good-bye more often and gives kisses when I ask her for one. She is enjoying having other kids around. There are a total of 6 families in our group, including us. Everyone is really nice and we are having a great time with them.

Taylor also likes helping more with undressing and dressing. Still LOVES her squeaky shoes especially running around in them. Haven't had to take the squeak out yet!!!!! Had her first lollipop today. she knew what to do with it. Also had her first grilled cheese sandwhich....didn't go over as well as the peanut butter and jelly did last night. Still a champion sleeper and eater.
