my busy girl...
Bingy loves to cook! She loves being in the kitchen, whether it be baking, cleaning, or putting dishes up out of the dishwasher, she is there! She's not as much into toys as she is into more creative play, like Playdough, painting, stickers, coloring, sorting, and basically anything having to do with helping mommy. She also loves to clean! Give this girl a wet soapy sponge and she's happy! She also likes to Swiffer the floors! Not only is Bingy going to be a fabulous domestic goddess someday, she is also so smart she scares me sometimes! Last night Gary pulled a bunch of scrap paper he got from work out of his briefcase and gave it to me to let Bingy color on. Mind you, she was asleep so she didn't see him give it to me. This morning I asked her if she wanted to color with her markers and pulled out the paper he had given me. She immedietly started saying, "Dada,Dada,Dada!" She recognized the letterhead to his company! She also knows most of her colors and can count to 10! I just love my girl!

catching up.....
making Chinese coconut pudding! (thanks for the recipe Auntie Stephe!)
our CNY feast
whole fish representing family togetherness(your suppose to steam it, but we smoked it instead)
helping mommy make the pudding
eating long noodles
bundled up to play outside
Winter is boring. Ever see that movie, "Ground Hog Day?" Yeah, that's pretty much the way things are around here! Gary and I are not skiiers, snowmobilers, or skaters, mall walkers, bowlers, or movie goers, nor will we ever be, so that leaves us with very little to do when the weather is bleak. We did celebrate the beginning of Chinese New Year and Valentine's day last Sunday which broke up the monotony a little. We spent Saturday cleaning and sweeping all the bad luck out of the house. On Sunday our whole family celebrated and it was great fun until I was struck down with an attack of food poisoning or the flu (still not sure which)! I felt crappy and kept denying my impending doom until about 2:00 am, Monday. That's when all Hell broke loose and lasted thru Monday. I will spare you the gory details, but I will probably never eat another eggroll or Kung Pao chicken as long as I live! Anyhow, I am better now, and thankful that my baby girl didn't catch it! She is one tough little cookie! Since we have been home she has never been sick! Not a fever, runny nose, or cough, nothing but a picture of health, so far! I don't even have a problem saying that for fear of jinxing myself because she has been exposed to so many illnesses and has never caught anything! I guess being in an orphanage for 10 months has some advantage! This girl is superhuman!
