Day 3

Things are going well. Emma is coming around more and more. We slept through the night last night. She got up around 6:30 and was a little fussy but after a few minutes she was ok. We hung out in the bed for a while playing, then we went to breakfast. She had her usual congee and steamed eggs. Then we went to the zoo with Echo. Emma fell asleep on the way there and slept for a bit at the zoo but woke up in time to see the panda bear. He was pretty neat to see, but he was really dirty. The zoo was quite an experience. It was small with a couple of rides and about 20 different animals in there. Our first stop was the lion's den. Well let's just say if you were ever in the mood to hang out with two big tigers then come to the China zoo because the gate to the cage was open for anyone to just to walk in and be eaten by them. Then we were checking out the bear den which was a big open pit with a small wall around it. So off to our left was a family of three and I guess the little boy had to really pee because there he was in his split pants peeing while his dad held him over the wall peeing in the bear den. What a sight. I tried to get a pic but missed it, then ry said i am off camera duty because we can't miss shots like that anymore. So off to more exhibits, but wait first we saw turtles, mice, rabbits and goldfish being sold. I guess you go to the zoo for you pet mouse. The highlight of the trip was the .50 cent balloon that we got Emma. Which she loves, loves, loves. We came back to the hotel for a nap. After the nap we went swimming. Oh my Emma loved the pool. She was splashing, kicking and having a really great time. Dinner was really fun tonight, we kind of let her play a little with her food. She really enjoyed getting her hands dirty and we enjoyed watching her play. Not sure that restaurant liked us, but it was good for her to feel the food and get some different feel of things. She looked really cute with rice and noodles all over her. But of course tonight we forgot the camera so no pics. After her bath she feel asleep pretty quick tonight. She called out for her nanny a couple times but then rested in my arms and went out. She really wanted lots of my attention today. For the first time she put her hands out for me to hold her. She didn't even want to go to Ryan this afternoon which was a first. We really bonded today. She is really warming up to me and liked being held most of the day today from me. And of course i couldn't of been more happy.
