Day 15 Thursday
Day 16 Friday Mei-Mei and I did a
craft together, dyeing fabric for Christmas presents. She has a very long
attention span. We worked together for about 1 and a half hours. She was
delighted each time we pressed the fabric down and then lifted it up to see the
colors. Munchkin and I went to see the Nutcracker after dinner. He loved
it.
Day 17 Saturday
Day 18 Sunday After supper she was playing with notecards
and tape and kid scissors. She tore a card into a square and held it over her
eye. She wanted me to cut it into a circle, which I did. She took a large piece
of tape and taped the circle over one eye. Then she did the same thing on the
other eye. She was extremely pleased with herself and trotted off to show ‘Stache.
Day 19 Monday Rainy. I
cut the boys’ hair. Attempted to trim Mei-Mei’s bangs. She stood still but I
didn’t do a great job of it. All of her hair swirls from one point. There isn’t
a natural part. She had a sweet time with our cat: hugging, petting, forehead
bonking. Kissed the cat and thought it great fun. Stayed up until 10 pm. She
won’t kiss me yet.
Day 20 Tuesday We’re
seeing more normal sibling interactions. Normal wrestling, normal squabbling.
We went to Chik-Fil-A and while we were in the playplace, we overheard Munchkin
talking to a little boy, telling him about Mei-Mei with a very proprietary
tone. “That’s our sister. Our Mama and Daddy went to China to go get her. Where
did your parents get your sister?” The clearly non-plussed little boy said, “Uh,
uh, I think my parents got her in my mama’s belly.” Mei-Mei took a nap in the
afternoon and then did not go to sleep until after midnight.
Day 21 Wednesday No
nap, just stayed on the bed with me. She has an amazing ability to
self-entertain. She kissed me two times today and let me rub noses with her
several times. Don’t know yet if the kisses are a today-only deal. She stole
and wore my glasses several times and is completely delighted by it. Went to
sleep about 8:20pm.
