Mike and Leigh's UnBlog

9.29.06

Above are the characters for Mary's given name: Yuan Hui Shan. It's a beautiful, but confusing language.

As I already wrote, we are considering keeping Hui Shan as her middle name, but appreciate the suggestions from all of you who think she should be named after you.
Heck, if what I hear about picking up cheap golf clubs in China is true, her middle name might be PING...I just can't bring myself to consider Big Bertha...that's just cruel.

We are currently having the characters strictly interpreted and will even have a pronunciation key with audio file to post so everyone can hear how it is said.

More on Mary from her Moron Father:
Although highly-social behavior is not unusual for children in institutional settings. Mary's report states very specifically that, beyond playing with toys or even gazing at her own reflection, she enjoys playing with other kids.

It also seems that she is a big fan of balloons. Maybe I should have waited for that little nugget...painting balloons in her room would have been easier than the pandas!

Speaking of little nuggets, I'm still looking for independent confimation of the 102 BMs a day... If she is capable of doing the deuce that often, we might want to begin looking for a tent and half-price barker because she's a circus-quality pooping prodigy!

I'm not 100% sure that I will post anything over the weekend. Sister (now Aunt) Lori is in town and Leigh begins flying practice tonight as Peter Pan. It's shaping up to be a weekend of fun and potential emergency room visits. For a dancer, Leigh is not what one might call, 'classically graceful.'

Coming up: More history on our arrival at this point and what's next.
