Today was the second day this plan was to go into affect and already we are changing things up on him. Tina's class went to an "Apple Farm" today to pick apples, hazelnuts, carrots and pumpkins. This is a small family farm in the county that is open for U-pick stuff and class visits. Tina thought it would be fun if Hui-Hui and I came along too. So we gave it a go!
And like an idiot I forgot to bring the digital camera! So I shot few images on my little camera phone and emailed them to myself. This explains the fuzzy/wonky quality of the farm shots below...
Hui-Hui was pretty apprehensive at first, like he is in most circumstances meeting new people, but he got into it and really had a good time. It didn't rain while we were there, but everything was pretty wet. Hui-Hui liked how the water dripped down out of the trees on us when we picked the apples.
Tina brought a picnic lunch for us, Kai had a big soup thermos full of leftover mashed potatoes and chicken. The guy is still very serious about his eating. One of the other preschool families there had brought a bag of the little frosted animal cracker cookies which they were sharing with everybody. They asked if Kai could have one. I told them I didn't think he'd eat it. Everybody thought he should be given the option as this might be the thing he finally decided to chew, so I said, "sure, go ahead." But Hui-Hui gave them "The Hand". and turned his head. If it ain't "hot soup" he ain't eating it!
In my department at work, Hui-Hui isn't the only new arrival. Two of my colleagues wives also had babies just before, and during our trip to China. The wife of another friend in the department decorates cakes so she sent in special cakes for all three new babies!
Hui-Hui was interested but was willing to share with the rest of us.
This was a very busy day and when it was finally time for bed he went down hard. It looks like Tigger is giving Pooh Bear a little competition in the "favorite snuggly" department...
