Yu came to our house for the first time last Saturday. It was a good visit. She and Luci found their hometowns on our big map of China. Yu wanted Bryan, J.T. and Luci to call her Jie Jie (shjay shjay)--"big sister" in Mandarin. I thought that was really sweet, since she is an only child.
Yu's name brought some giggles, too--I told John that I needed to take Yu back to U.N.A. and he kept saying, "Why do you need to take ME to town?" Not YOU, Yu! Yu was in the hallway, laughing.
We learned some important Mandarin phrases. Mi Lao Shu was the most important so far. It means, "Mickey Mouse."
Our next visit is a week from now. J.T. has another soccer game, so I'll get to introduce Yu to the joys of being a soccer mom.
