Shaolin Temple

Yesterday we toured the Shaolin Temple.  It was a long bus ride, but it was really need to visit the home of Kung Fu.  The temple is an active monastery with a Kung Fu Academy.  We had lunch there.  We then toured the Pagoda Forrest and the Temple itself.  The we watched a Kung Fu show in a room with no air conditioning..  Micah loved it.  It was a very sweaty day, but a very neat experience. 

Noah is eating more and more table food.  He's only taking formula in the morning.  We weren't able to get the same kind that he had in the orphanage, so that could be it or it could just be that he's preferring real food. 

Noah is strongly preferring Mama at this point, though he will go to Baba as well.  The Ergo has been priceless as he doesn't want to be more than 6 inches from one of us at any time. 

Evenings seem to be a rough time for our little guy.  He seems sad and his huge eyes just brim with tears.  He likes to be sung to sleep and mostly sleeps through the night.  We're not sure what to do with a child who's a good sleeper!!!

Micah is doing an awesome job as the big brother.  He really tries to play with Noah and shows him toys and tries to share trains and trucks.  Noah wants nothing to do with him most of the time.  He will slap at Micah and yesterday threw a train at Micah's head.  Micah just takes it in stride, though you can see it hurt him physically and emotionally.  I am so proud of my big boy.

Today we go to visit Noah's orphanage.  This could be a hard day for our little one.  Say a prayer if you think of it.
