Day 11- Beijing

Another short post since I need to get to bed. Today was a busy day at the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and the Silk Market. The weather was HOT so we again were all sweating like crazy. Channing woke up in the usual way, but as soon as we went for breakfast Yulin had a little chat with her and she was an angel all day!!!! We are making progress and she is starting to be so brave. She will call out for me if go out of her sight, but is still reserved about getting too close to me, Po Po or Gong Gong........baby steps!!!
We went for supper at the usual restaurant which was awesome again. I love going there......real Chinese food and good cold beer. I'm still having issues with getting Channing to eat so Yulin has to be around when she eats....the she eats like a champ with her big appetite. Today she told me in her sign language when she was hungry which was a 1st.....its so cute!!!!
Also....I'm not going to say too much here, but Channing found 3 pictures of her foster family tucked away in some of the things that came with her.....it was so cute!!! When she found them tonight she yelled out "she was so HAPPY now"........thank god Yulin was here to translate that. What a treasured gift we now have!!!!!!
I have a little artist on my hands. We cannot believe the pictures she can draw and the photo-graphic memory she has. She is amazing!!!! I love her so much.......
Ohhh.....and we had a tragedy today. Channing was so hot when we were at the Forbidden City, she took her "bunny" ears off and lost them. So tomorrow when its time to get ready for the day I imagine we will have a melt down. They were special to her as David picked them out for her in Nanning. Hopefully I can find some more here tomorrow!!! So for now...no more bunny ears in the pictures!!!
Well tomorrow is the medicals for all the kids and then a SHOPPING day!!!!!!
