We watched a woman dance in the square and then walked around to look at the stadium and architecture.
Our other stop was at a local museum, Makenna decided to throw a fit, so much of our time was spent calming her down. The only time she gives us a hard time is really when we are out in our travel group. There is a 7 year old big sister in the group, and Makenna would rather be with her and do what we ask or stay with us. We are trying to separate a little more, but occasionally she freaks out - that's what happened this time. Each time we get through one of these episodes helps her learn what family is about. We decided to take it easy the rest of the day and spent most of the time playing together in our hotel room to reinforce who we are and how much we love her - she is getting it one step (or fit) at a time!

Starbucks!
Papa John's for dinner!
We went to that same museum. I actually really enjoyed it. Our guide was such a great teacher throughout the tour and I loved him, so that probably helped. Glad you got some free time and sightseeing in. Glad she is pitching fits so you have opportunities to teach her what a mommy and daddy are and that fits won't ever stop you from loving her and she can't ever push you away. But I'll pray she saves some of those fits for home where she can speak Chinese and no one will understand her :) lol
ReplyDeleteJust caught up on all the last posts.... sounds like you are having a good time, getting to know each other and forming relationship. She's adorable and I love the sassy pics of her all decked out in her stuff. What fun she will have with a big sister :) Can't wait to see you and meet her. HUGS!
