Ten

Emma Lee is definitely getting adjusted to her new life. In fact, she’s turning into a wild woman.
She woke up this morning full of energy and ready to play. While we were talking to the boys via Web cam, she was running around the room and jumping up and down on the bed like a crazy person. Then she got her chopsticks and started acting like she was playing the drums.
I think we’re going to have to take her back and see if we can trade her in for a calmer model.
We bought her some toys today at Wal-Mart, and that pretty much killed nap time. After rolling and jumping around in her crib for about an hour, she got out and tore into her crayons, coloring books and Legos. She’s been wide open ever since.
They told us in one of the letters from her nanny that she likes to play. Boy, was that an understatement.
She also likes McDonald’s. She had some chicken nuggets and fries today, and then snatched Missy’s cheeseburger away and starting munching on it. She took each one of her fries, though, and offered them to Missy and I. Her letter also said she likes to help and share with others. That’s true, as long as you don’t try to take her stuff without it being offered, or try to make her do something she don’t want to do.
Lord, she is going to be a handful.
We also discovered today that she knows how to use chopsticks. We’ve been feeding her with a spoon, and we wondered why she wouldn’t take the spoon and feed herself.
That’s because she doesn’t know how to use a spoon – she uses chopsticks.
She’s was sitting on the bed this morning snacking on a bowl of Cheerios. Missy handed her a pair of chopsticks and she immediately commenced to using them to eat her Cheerios.
At breakfast, she used them to eat Chinese noodles – we call it Lo Mien – which she apparently loves.
She also keeps jabbering in Chinese, and we have no idea what she’s saying. We don’t know if it’s just baby talk, or Chinese words some uses for something. She might be cussing for all we know.
More later, after we get her wound down a bit.
