talking about China

At night, before bed, I've been talking to Evie about China. I try to keep it short and sweet because of that limited toddler attention span! I want her to know about where she is from, even though I am so glad she is with us now.

We listen to a CD of Chinese folk music before bed, while we rock in the rocking chair. I told her that the music was from China, and that Evie lived in China before she lived with Mama, Daddy, and Emily. She signed back "China" and "friends". I asked her if she had friends in China, and she said yes. (that made me happy, that she remembers good things about China) She has also told me that China is hers. (Well, she said MINE and signed China!)
