The plane ride was a little scary for Katie, as she had no idea what to really expect. She did not want to get on the plane! A very nice Chinese woman helped make her feel more comfortable and talked her through it, and we are very grateful for that! She has many more plane rides ahead of her, so we are hoping that each one gets a little easier.
Mr. G. and Katie are now in Xi'an. They got to see the pagodas, which are very beautiful. Mr. G. took lots of pictures which we will develop and put on this blog once he is home.
Right now it is night time in China. We have discovered that Katie likes watching TV a LOT! Just like other kids, she does not like it when she has to turn it off and go to bed! She is getting used to having rules set for her, and she is not sure she likes that too much but she is accepting it.
It is hard to talk on the phone when both people speak a different language, but we try! So far she can say:
Hello
How are you? I'm fine, thank you.
Yes, No
1,2,3
half of her ABC's (remember, she knows numbers and letters in Mandarin, but not in English)
Go to bed.
Good night, Good morning
I like music.
Mama, Baba (Dad)
I'm sure there are other words, but this is all I've heard so far. We'll keep updating as we know more!

It IS so hard to talk to them on the phone, the first day I talk to Gwen, I was making all kinds of facial expressions and gestering with my hands...then I realized she couldn't see me! LOL
