Rainy day in Guangzhou

It was a good thing that we had to hang out in the hotel room today, because it was raining most of the day anyway.  Micalee spent most of the morning playing with her dolls & imitating how we care for her.  It was too cute!!!  She would mix "food" in her stacking cups & feed her babies.  She brushed their hair. She patted her baby on the belly (the way David does to help her go to sleep).  She would tickle their bellies & put her shoes on their feet.  Just TOO cute!!!  She is still favoring David, especially in the mornings, but as the day goes on, she lets mommy do everything for her.  I was even the one who put her to sleep last night when David wasn't able (she was just too cranky!).  Last night, while she was in the tub, I handed her toothbrush to her & brushed my teeth in front of her, and she started brushing hers!  It was our first try; I've been too afraid to push her too much with things that could wait a while!  She loved it & kept playing with the toothbrush long after the toothpaste was gone!  She washes her stacking cups while she's bathing & then washes the sides of the bathtub with the washcloth!  We finally had a break in the rain, long enough to go out to get some lunch (more watermelon juice for her - she can't get enough of it!) & do some shopping.  Then we spent the last 2 hours playing & together & eating Ritz crackers & cookies, until she fell asleep in my arms with a half-eaten cracker in her hand!  She is coming out of her shell more & more everyday & has the sweetest personality (when she wants to!)!  She is still a strong-willed little girl, but is letting her Mommy & Daddy squeeze into her heart a little more each day!
