A Happy Birthday for Mommy

The only thing missing is Madi. Daniel is on the mend, and he's a tornado! We are so thankful to see his bubbly, spicy side! We had a great morning of laying low and playing in the room. Mr. Daniel was all smiles and giggles all morning. He was totally enamored with Daddy's watch, which we borrowed from Grandpa Wharton for the trip. Jimmy let him wear it today, and he loved it! When we decided to venture out for shopping, his serious side came out again. At least now, we can read him pretty well and it's clear he doesn't like leaving the hotel, probably for fear that he'll be leaving us. Once again, more opportunities to show him he's staying with us. Daniel was very attached to Daddy today. I'm taking the back seat these days, and that's okay since he'll be getting lots of face time with Mommy when we get home.

Tonight our guide took us to another fabulous local restaurant. She surprised me with a beautiful birthday cake. We are ready to leave Nanchang. We've had a great stay, but we definitely feel ready to move on. Tomorrow we head for Guangzhou where the last leg of our trip will take place.
