The Shower Luxury

Part 1: I always know that I am in new kid mode when a shower becomes my biggest luxury. Its not that I couldn't take a shower with Silin home because I probably could (strategy...put lots of toys that she might want to play with in the bathroom, close my bedroom door, pray she'll be fine, then shower as fast as possible while trying to keep my extremely nearsighted eyes on her through foggy shower doors), its just that it feels easier to wait until she is in bed so that I can take my time and actually wash my body, my hair, use conditioner, and rinse thoroughly, i.e. take a long shower. At this moment, that is a luxury....

Part 2: Photos....I know that is what you are thinking....where are the photos? I promise....soon....Its just that I'm back to my Mac (oh, yes, hurray!) and the photos are on my netbook and I need to upload, etc. etc. .....excuses, excuses....I will post them soon!

Part 3: Silin is starting to repeat some English words: more, doggie, Elmo, kitty-meow, ball, beep beep, baby....she definitely understands many things as well like "go throw this in the trash", "go get your shoes" "let's go upstairs/downstairs".....Tomorrow we are off to the International Adoption clinic at Tufts to see the famous Dr. Miller.....I'll let you know how it goes.....

Part 4: I love my Mac (I think I said that already) but the battery on it sucks -- I think I've been on it for about 12 minutes and my battery is about to die....conclusion....I need a new battery for this laptop.....second conclusion.....I need to post this post mostly unedited and uncensored......here it goes.....
