Monday - One Week since Sonia Day!

It's hard to believe that it's only been a week since Sonia Day! I feel like she's been a part of my life so much longer... yet at the same time, I can't believe we only have a few more days in China. I'm so ready to be home yet enjoying the chance to have this dedicated time to spend with her (and also the wonderful support of Lacretia and Lori during the trip!!)

Today we went to the "Six Banyan Temple". It is an incredible place. It was a great place to give thanks for the gift of being Sonia's Mom! I'm so incredibly blessed and want nothing more than to be the best Mom I can be to her! There was also a "baby blessing" given by a Monk at the temple which was quite special to be able to experience.

From there, we went to a Pearl Market. I bought a strand of pearls to give to Sonia for one of her special birthdays or Graduation.

We went back to our hotel for a quick lunch and some playing with bubbles and toys before taking a quick walk to a nearby Starbucks for an iced coffee. It was a chance to have ice for the first time in China! Then we had a "playdate" in the play room in our hotel with another family traveling with us. It was fun and relaxing.

Sonia went to sleep shortly after (fighting sleep all the way - yikes!) but is now resting peacefully...

(Note: Today, I also added a post for yesterday and some pictures to the post the day before ...)
