Red Thread Chronicles

An invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but never break. -- Ancient Chinese Proverb

Bundling up the kiddos!

Adoptive Parents Coming After Us: What you have heard is true! If you travel with young, blondish girl, you will end up with a diva on your hands. And if you don't put your baby in long sleeves and pants – and, better, a goosedown jacket – even in 85 degree weather – you will incur the tsk-tsk of well-meaning women on the street! I have been chastised for having CC in a short sleeved shirt in the Hefei airport – it was about 87 and humid! – and for having C in a short sleeve dress – probably about 90 that day, and we were both sweating!!! It's clearly a cultural thing, though, b/c in the Hefei shopping center (unairconditioned) Don and I were dying in short sleeves, but the majority of the shoppers were wearing long sleeve shirts and pants. (Chenchen kicks her covers off every night, so I think she's doing okay!)

    Yikes! Just the THOUGHT of pants, long sleeves, and a jacket in that kind of weather makes me want to keel over.
