Thursday morning

Mama is not doing so well this AM.  (If descriptions of physical illness upset you, skip to the next paragraph).  I had diarrhea last night and took some Imodium, but I just couldn't eat this morning due to the nausea.  No fever, just really upset stomach... 
 
Baba and Nai Nai  went with Quincy and Richard (our guide) to the notary office and a museum this morning and left mama to get some rest.  I just woke up from a nap, and plan to take another one when Quincy goes down this afternoon.  I'm feeling a bit better, and I'm sure I'll be fine, so don't worry about me.  It's probably just mild food poisoning and lack of rest.
 
I wanted to post the most precious moments that come to mind, so far in our journey:
 
When we were at the zoo, he was playing bubbles with Baba and I was looking the other direction.  He called out "Mama, look at XinYan and Baba!"  Of course it was in Chinese, but I knew exactly what he meant...  It's so cool that he wants us both to be involved in the fun.  He really does seem to be taking to each of us equally.  Mama's emerging as the disciplinarian, and Baba's definitely the more fun one.  But we all play individually and alone, and it's been great.  He will listen to me a bit better than Jason, because Jason's a bit of a pushover for that impish little grin...
 
Last night when I put him to bed, he didn't want to sleep in the little bed (mattress from Grandma's room that was moved to the floor in our room).  He wanted to sleep in the big bed.  So I let him sleep in the big bed.  Jason decided not to move him and slept in the little bed, so Quincy and I were sleeping in the big bed together.  This morning, when he was all groggy and just beginning to wake up, he rolled over into me and cuddled for about 15 minutes.  It was SO AMAZING!!!  He's taking to us far better than could be expected.  We couldn't be happier.
 
Tomorrow, we're planning to see the orphanage and possibly the hospital where Quincy was found as a baby.  Should be a BIG day!
 
Love always,
