Today at 5 pm, Mei Li will take her first airplane ride. We have to go to Guangzhou to get Mei Li a visa to enter the US. We will be there until Wednesday morning. I have heard very good things about Guangzhou, and we have enjoyed our time here in Nanchang.
Yesterday we went to the park. It was beautiful, and full of grandmothers with their babies. In China, it is customary for the grandparents to watch the children while the parents work. So the grandmothers really are close to the children. They were all very interested in our babies. I just finished giving Mei a bottle, and one lady just came up and sanpped it out of my hands and was talking in Chinese. Our guide, Mary, (who has been WONDERFUL to us) explained that she had never seen a bottle like what I was using. The Chinese have very succinct guidelines on parenting, and they do not hesitate to tell you when you do not measure up!
I will post tomorrow from Guangzhou.

LeeAnn - Love the pictures and updates. You definitely have that new mommy glow about you! I can't wait to hear all about your experience. I love seeing Mei Li wrapped up with her blankie. Think of it as a hug from me! :)
