She has got the hang of the pee pee part, but we are still working on the other number....but I don't think she will play in it anymore. At first, we would ask her if she needed to go and she would say...ummm MO! Meanwhile, we would insist we read her favorite book, ELNO!
(Her little bum is so cute in her big girl underwear....it is just so funny that when we potty trained Adayla, I couldn't find underwear that were small enough and they just hung on her. This is not the case for Tally!)
Since she is no longer getting milk before she goes to bed and right before her nap, Tim tried to pat her back a few times to help her relax. Now everytime before you leave the room, she will lay on her tummy with her bumb in the air, reach around with one hand to her back, and say, "Bei, Bei!" (Back in Chinese) One day she didn't want to nap, so I patted her back in her crib for a few seconds and then left the room. She immediately escaped from her crib, which she had only done a times a few days earlier. (If you remember the post from a few months ago, she was regularly escaping and we weren't quite ready to move her to a big girl bed. So we took out the thicker crib mattress and replaced it with our two pack n play mattresses, which fit perfectly. This made it so she was too short to climb out. It was like that for maybe a few weeks until we went to Beijing with my family. We came back on an earlier flight then them and the pack n play didn't arrive home until like 11pm. So we gave her back her mattress, the substitute mattresses must have been uncomfortable, she didn't even attempt to escape again for fear she might get them back! ) I guess it is time for us to think about transitioning her to the big girl bed.
She has started to mimick Adayla when she cries, she comes up next her and imitates with a fake cry! Cute little buster.
She was holding her baby the other day and brought her to the table where she shared some food with her (cute now, as long as she keeps only giving it to her baby!)
Today she wanted another breadstick, so she went to Josie and said, "Daddy, one more." As if Tim had sent her to get one, she ate it quickly! Tricky!
(She actually lets me fix her hair and likes to carry around little purses!)She is really part Chinese.....when the Chinese want you to come here, instead of using one finger or their hand with fingers toward the air, they point them down towards the ground and then motion you over. She will come find you and say, "Come on," waving her little fingers just like the Chinese.
(This is how I know she isn't totally Chinese, she still loves her sweets! You see that beautiful red cup....thank you ColdStone!)They also have a special squat that they do. They "sit" on their ankles instead of thier calves and they can do this for quite some time. Helper lady will frequently sit like that while eating lunch or dinner (she prefers this over a chair sometimes). So Tally will do this anytime she needs a break...you ought to try it, not comfortable for us or for some of us, impossible! I never have my camera, but hopefully I can capture it one of these day.

TAlly is quite the young lady. She looks beautiful with her curly hair. Good luck with the poop. She can hold it for days. She comes by it naturally. I like Adayla's shirt.

Tally is quite the character and a cutie! It's fun to hear how they are growing up and how their individual personalities start coming through.
