Today we visited a Buddhist temple and learned alot about the religion--there are many buddhist gods that are worshipped for different things. For example, one worships the happy buddah for have a happy life and the buddah of mercy to ask for the gift of a child. It was interesting and the temple was beautiful with banyan trees in the courtyard. After our tour, our whole group went out to eat at a Cantonese restuarant and sampled many different foods--all extremely delicious. I could eat like this forever. Grace threw 2 tantrums today--she is acting more and more like a 4 yr. old and getting more comfortable with us. We gently insist that she do what we have asked her to do (such as put on her jacket or sit in the high chair) and she eventually does it. She definitely has a strong will, but it has always, so far, ended in compliance. We praise her when she is compliant and reassure her over and over of how much we love her when we discipline her. 4 more days to go!!!

Sounds like you guys are doing well...it's a good sign that she's throwing the tantrums....she's trusting you enough to act like a normal 4 year old. I know this trip is dragging on for you both, only a few more days and you'll be a complete family again. I wonder why China makes you stay in the country so long? Have a great day! Thanks so much for keeping us updated- I'm always excited to check out you guys in the morning when I get up. Take care and lots of love.

Sounds like an interesting day!! What experiences you are having!! Grace sounds like just one of the family for a 4 year old. It looks like our Thursday drive may be rain all the way-more dangerous and diffucult with Lex. What would you think if we left very early Friday if that does remain the case, and Friday is clear? Stay safe. You are loved, Mom/Mia
