Sugar and Spice Meets Snails and Puppy Dog Tails

Hi, it is Wednesday night 8:30pm. Just watching Bernie and Caleb giggling and Clara sound asleep in bed.  Thank goodness for king beds as we are all sleeping together.. all we need is Ripley!
We all had a great sleep last night and we had an even better day!

This morning we went to the Hubei Provincial Museum. We saw items from digs and the Ming dynasty that were over 2000 years old. Caleb and Bernie had a fan club and got many stares and whispers from people. This is just beginning as we will get a lot more when we travel in a group.

After that we went back to the hotel for lunch and than headed out to a park. Caleb and Clara had a great time at the playground. It was so great to see them playing together and having fun.

We came back and chilled out in out hotel rooms and than went for supper. These days we are just eating in the hotel restaurant as they have a few western options. Clara and I had to leave early as we were told to keep her quiet, of course as most three year olds do she wasn't going to listen. This girl has spunk!

She is doing great today and is really beginning the bonding process with me. She will follow me where ever I go and I am the only one she will let pick her up. She even let me change her clothes and give her a bit of a wash. Big signs that things are going well. Of course she still has many moments where she gets really quiet and withdrawn, but the happy moments are happening more often. Her pictures did not due her justice she is a beautiful girl, just as handsome as her big brother!
