AL finds a little sister...

Here in China any little girl is referred to as 'mei mei' (may may) by older girls. Well AL has referred to all of the little girls our friends adopted as mei mei. But today she met one she has latched onto. While taking the couch picture of the kids in our group of travelers, AL reaches over and wraps her arms around Ana (ah na). Ana is an adorable almost two year old girl. I wondered if Ana was bothered by this, but when we tried to separate them neither one wanted to let go. It was so sweet. She then pushed her in the stroller along with Ana's mom for most of the day. She gave me 'the look' whenever I had to tear her away from the stroller. And she wanted to know where 'mei mei' was going when we got off the elevator but she didn't. I told her mei mei was going to go to sleep (acting out sleep and saying mei mei). AL's just too cute. I told Ric, "Ooooo, she needs a little sister!" Then I got 'the look' from him. Where's the love? Ana is a bright little girl. I'm amazed at how she is picking up the language. AL fell asleep in the car. She kept saying, "Lin Lin" and pointing. Her dad said, "Lin Lin is tired." Then she kept saying, "Lin Lin tired" while pointing over to Anna Lin and putting her hands along the side of her head like she is sleeping. Too sweet!
