Carli-ism 1

Whenever Carli has to go to the bathroom she says "mamala" and point to her bottom. We say, "potty" and start walking to the bathroom. She runs in ahead of us laughing and goes to the wall or the corner, giggling until we come in to help her go the bathroom. She has done this since the first day we got her. My theory on this is that maybe in the orphanage they went to the bathroom as a group, would run in and line up to wait their turn. Lining up may have been fun with a bunch of kids all waiting to go the bathroom. Who knows, but that's my theory.

The journey continues...

Well, we have now completed our family and this is the start of a hopefully regular update on life with the Walches. If you want to see the journey of how we got our 4th (and last) child, see http://carliyuan.blogspot.com for a detailed trip journal.

Posts here won't be daily and mostly I want to do this for our own records. But, please feel free to check in often and leave comments. Technically, this is an easy way to keep a journal and also share it with others, so I'll try to keep it up.

An updated family picture will be coming soon.
