We got to take Jodi to her first big show which was an amazing performance by Chinese artists. The dancing was so beautiful and the singers were unbelievable. They had a full orchestra and the show overall was incredible. It lasted a full 3 hours and we weren't sure how Jodi would do. Believe it or not, she was great most of the way through (a little squirmy at times since she is 5) but she seemed very interested in the dancing and beautiful costumes. She'd look back from time to time and say "beautiful!" When the curtain first opened, I (Mama) starting tearing up because the dancers and set were so pretty. It made me feel so proud of our daughters culture and Fred and I are so grateful we got to experience it firsthand when we went to get her in March. Jodi of course loved getting all dressed up in her dress that "twirls" and kept asking us if she looked pretty. I think she knew the answer!!!
Fred and I also learned firsthand that when your child gets sick, you very often manage to get it too! Fred battled the cold first and now I'm coughing and sneezing my way through. Oh well!! So much for my Labor Day projects. Love to you and yours and Happy Labor Day!
