Sometimes, when Nora pulls every square of toilet paper off the roll and stuffs it carefully into her potty, taking a picture of the result is the only way I can retain my composure and my sense of humor.

I’m hoping that your disgust at the revelation that I allow Nora to suck on the top of the sea salt is tempered by the extreme cuteness of baby curlers.

…and then my mom came over and dressed Nora in all of her China souvenirs at once.
Love you guys! It’s good to be home.

I find it’s best to greet your relatives after a long separation by shoving as much of their jewelry as you can into your mouth.
China, day 14
Tuesday morning before heading to the airport, we stopped in for a quick visit at the Summer Palace. It was gorgeous and huge, but chilly and crowded–and Nora was just about through with being carried. For good.
The play area at the Seoul airport on the way home was much more what she had in mind.

On Monday we went to the Great Wall, and Nora wanted to walk every inch of it herself.
China, day 12
We wanted to do something that would be fun for Nora, so we spent the morning at the Blue Zoo aquarium. She loved it–especially the BIG, naughty shark.
Later, we walked around the old part of Beijing. This is either in front of the Bell Tower or the Drum Tower (I admit I’m not sure which).
China, day 11
Here we are at the Forbidden City…
and the Olympic Plaza…
and of course, engaging in some international race relations.
