Today we were talking about going to the mailbox to see if our new headbands came in and then we heard the doorbell. It was UPS with a mysterious box. Not the headbands, but a special package from China. Our friends Laura and Clark sent Lina a real Chinese dress. Lina loved it and is still wearing as I type. It just fits Laura, so she can wear it for a while, but Chinese kids probably don't have the little pot belly that my kids have.
Lina also made me laugh today. I was telling her to be easy with throwing the ball and she said, "adagio". It took me a minute, but I realized she had learned that adagio means slow in musical terms (Little Einstiens). Don't ever say that kids are not influenced by t.v. She soaks it all up. A few minutes later, I was saying "let me think" and she starts singing the Pooh song, in a very Southern twang, "thank,thank, thank". Ok, so is she watching too much t.v. or just learning everything she hears?
That dress is adorable and Lina is absolutely adorable wearing it!
ReplyDeleteI love love love the dress! You are right, it does fit just perfect...when Clark picked it out, he said it was supposed to fit a 4 year old! :) I guess we just grow them bigger in America! :) You will have to tell Lina that Clark picked it out just for her, the color and all :) Thanks so much for posting the pictures, can't wait for Clark to see the cutest girl in the world :)
