playing outside and shopping at the mall!

Except for the last few days, it has been in the 50s and 60s here! Bing a Ling looooooves being outside! She is so darn cute running around and riding her pony! There is only one problem, though, she puts EVERYTHING in her mouth! From rocks to rotten crab apples, there is nothing she isn't willing to give a taste! The worst thing she has taste tested is bird poop! Yep, she sure did! We were in the front yard and while I was inspecting my azaleas to see if they survived the winter, she bent down and picked up a dried pile and put it straight into her mouth! Thank goodness she had a good river of drool pouring from her mouth so it kind of just slid right out! YUCK!
I started Bing in Gymboree a couple of weeks ago and she really likes it! At first she clung to me like a baby baboon, but now she is having fun going down the slides and climbing thru the tunnels and singing songs! She has also made some new friends there! Bing also made another new friend named Lily! Gary and I met Lily's mom and dad, Rachel and Jeff, at our first international adoption class back in May of '05! They ended up getting logged into China a month before us and got there referral for Lily 5 months before us! How crazy is that! Anyway, Rachel and I met at the Somerset Mall on Wednesday and let the girls play together for the first time! Bing and Lily were so cute together walking around! Sweet little Lily with her Nordstrom's bag and Bing holding her hand! It was priceless!
