Year of the Dragon! Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year!  Our first as a Chinese-American family.  We celebrated at dinner with about 40 other people...families who've adopted Chinese children.  We had a great time together and enjoyed some awesome food.  Kell, of course, was enjoying every bit of "real" Chinese food...Mommy just can't catch on!
I met Kell last January at his orphanage while the children were preparing for CNY celebration.  As he's learned more English, we've been able to talk about the day we met but never had we spoken of their dancing for CNY.  When I told him we were going to celebrate CNY with our friends he said, "Mommy, member Kell and Mei Mei dance (as he shows me some moves)?  Member (remember), Mommy looking?"  Yes!  I do remember seeing them dance and the cutest boy ever kept looking at me with that charming smile!  (Mei Mei is his foster sister).  Mutual love at first sight!

Anyway, we had a great evening but Kell was a little disappointed there was no dancing. Maybe we'll work on that for next year!
