So on day 7 of being here the unbelievable happened... Ev finally slept until 7:30am!!!!! Until today both she and Elijah have remained on the time at home. We (actually just Todd) got to get a full nights sleep. The first time in over a week. YEAH for sleep. Just as Ev looks like she is getting adjusted to the 14 hour time difference we will leave and go back home.
Ev's English has really been improving since being here. She is using a lot more words and phrases and short sentences and she isn't speaking as much Chinese as she usually does.
Yesterday it got up to almost 60 degrees so we played outside in the leaves. My mom had bought bubbles so Ev enjoyed bubbles and the outdoors. One of the first days we were here it was also 60 degrees and my mom, Todd and Ev played outside in my grandparents backyard. But Ev wouldn't walk in the grass until Todd showed her it was okay. Back home there is not much grass and what little grass there is it is off limits to walk on. It was really funny to see Ev walk around the grass until she was told it was okay. We didn't realize she hadn't walked in grass before nor that she had picked up on the cultural thing from home. Too funny.
