Wednesday, January 20

We had a really low key day today so there is not much to report. We mostly hung around the hotel except for when the room was being cleaned (in other words, our afternoon walk). I am looking forward to tomorrow's all day trip to another village, though the 6 hours in the car should be interesting.

Katie continues to talk almost exclusively in Chinese, but she clearly understands quite a bit of what we say. She will occasionally repeat phrases that we give her - like "I'm three" (while holding up 3 fingers). She knows and says "bye-bye" without being prompted. She doesn't always respond to "Katie", but she does often enough that I am convinced that she knows we are referring to her when we say it. She doesn't always respond to Jiayi, either for that matter. Selective hearing is what they call that, I believe. She absolutely loves sweets and is a good eater in general. She seems willing to try most foods - unless they are green vegetables! (again, sounds familiar). She likes some spice in her food, but not as much as we thought at first. She loves KFC and french fries so at least I know she will eat something when we get home.

Sorry no pictures today - not really anything to take pictures of. Hopefully tomorrow there will be more.

Have a great day and keep praying.

Karen
