Arcade fun
Wu Yi had another breakthrough today ~ engaging and having fun with some friends of mine and their kids. We went to a local arcade/water park and she had a great time playing arcade games, climbing in the indoor play area, chasing people around, and watching the kids in the water park. She held my friend Cheryl's hand, offered her french fries to everyone, and teased anyone who wanted to play with her. She was also pretty bold in not needing to keep me in her sight at all times. She never went too far away, but she is becoming more and more confident. You would never know the trauma she has recently been through to watch her today! Too bad Don was up skiing.
The water park was too overwhelming for her. This didn't surprise me ~ I'm pretty sure she has never been in a swimsuit, and she seems pretty surprised to see such "scantily clad" adults and kids. She even seems surprised to see her brothers in their PJ's when they choose to not wear a shirt. She is a very modest little girl.

Glad you had a fund day at the arcade! Wu Yi seems to be beginning to trust others. Perhaps she will include Don soon. Clare was reading the past several entries tonight, and asked if Wu Yi had ever had a male caregiver or significant role model? I had actually not thought of that....
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the upcoming surgery.
I can understand the modesty thing. I think that China is like we were early in the 20th century in many things-modest about attire, modest about one's accomplishments, using toothpicks instead of floss, washing hands before sitting down in a restaurant, etc. She'll adjust, I'm sure.
