Our next feat was trying to get her to eat plain vegetables, we have been traveling so much that the point is usually just to get her to eat a good meal. And she is a good eater. But she refused my carrots and green beans (boiled and bland). We were not backing down. She went without lunch, without afternoon snack, and refused. But then I realized that veg is veg and it really is okay if I add a little oil salt and pepper (aka, chinese style: stir fry). China has the best veg in the world and they make it taste so good. We ordered out for dinner and got stir fry veg, we added her carrots and green beans to the other veg and she ate it all like a champ. David says this is caving, and it probably is, but we live in China, why not eat China style? The Chinese diet, with all its oil and salt, is still far better than the average American diet. We are sticking with the stir fry veg! Sophia eat your heart out!

Sophia's 'shopping' bag, when I tell her what it is she repeats: 'hopping' (shopping)
she is repeating so much these days.

Probably one of her favorites was this purchase from Singapore, her own little stroller to push around, she LOVES it.
