Toilet Training, step 1

Eleni has been asking to use the toilet so we got her a potty chair. She has discovered a new use for the (still clean) inner bowl. Safari anyone?

Chinese New Year Party




Thanks to the Phoenix Chapter of FCC (Families with Children from China) we were able to enjoy a really great Chinese new year party last Saturday! Well.... "enjoy" is a relative term. The party was fantastic but it was right during naptime so it stopped being that enjoyable after an hour.


FCC is a great organisation for families with adoptive Chinese kids. They have chapters all over America, and organise monthly dim-sum outings, play groups, have a lending library of adoption materials, and has a mentor program which matches little girls with bigger girls.

Chinese new year is their big fundraiser, and there seemed to be hundreds of families there. Here are some photos of Eleni (in her padded Chinese outfit and hot pink squeaky shoes) in the bouncy castle. Of course she wanted to go in the big one for 3 year olds+, but she wasn't allowed. So she and a little boy named Joey made the most it together.

CHRISTMAS!





Better late than never, even when posting on a blog!


Eleni got a new trike, a Chinese babydoll (and baby gear from our generous friend and neighbor, Shirl) and lots of beautiful clothes, puzzles, music, books... Christmas sure is different when there is a toddler in the house!
