Getting to know Medora Xingtong

Medora has a sweet, funny, clever, happy personality. She's prone to breaking out in a grin at times that just melts your heart. She has definite likes and dislikes, and is happy to tell you about them!

LIKES
  • Having her hair done. We can't leave the room in the morning until her ponytails are in place. Ponytails must be redone if they come loose during the day.
  • Eating. Voracious and omnivorous aren't overstatements. Green vegetables, any kind of meat, noodles of any kind. You name it, she likes it.
  • Stacking toys and bubbles
  • Orderly things -- the playmat must be smooth at all times, crayons go back in the box, etc.

DISLIKES
  • Removing the ponytails for bedtime.
  • Bedtime in general is a tearful event.
  • Mealtime ending, especially if there is still food on the table

That last one is interesting. I had heard that eating all the food on your plate in most Chinese cultures is rude. Of course, orphanages would have a different focus so that does make sense.

Your daughter is just adorable. I hope the transition is going smoothly. We leave next Tuesday to go adopt our son. Can't wait!! Any tips/advice? Our son is 2.5.

Does she like animals?
Does she realize how many brother and sisters that she's about to have?
