Photos from our plane ride:
1 - We found a bracelet for Lili at the Shenyang airport - a souvenir from her hometown. She was very pleased with it - she would show it to people who were walking by. . .
2 - reading her favorite book with flaps to lift and find animals inside. (I love the little feet sticking out in the picture!)
3-4 - One of the toys we brought to play with on the plane was a book of blank faces with sticker eyes, mouth, eyebrows, glasses, etc. Lili put a few of the stickers on the blank faces, but seemed to prefer to put them on her own face. . .
We've arrived in Guangzhou. Lili did really well on the trip. She dozed off in the van on the way to the airport, but then she woke up and was wide awake for the rest of the trip until we finally got to bed at about 10 pm. We had some toys that she hadn't played with yet, and that seemed to help a lot. Her personality is continuing to emerge. She can be quite bossy at times! She points her little finger and says something in Chinese in an authoritative voice. I think she's going to give us a run for our money! She is very particular about her clothes too. She knows what she wants to wear and she doesn't take suggestions! Sometimes she is happy to have us help her with things, and other times she can be very independent and insist on doing things on her own in her own way. And she has started giving us some "sass." She gives us the evil eye and tells us how it is. Please continue to pray for us to be able to guide her gently but firmly when necessary. The language barrier can be quite a challenge in these situations!

Thank you for the post- I was starting to go into withdrawal. Smile! I am so glad the trip went well! She looks like she was really enjoying those stickers! So cute! She just seems full if life and personality. I think she is going to fit right in to our lively group. Praying for guidance and insight as you parent this little soul.
