Hello again! Last week the ladies of the household ventured out to one of our fav places! Can you say ....Ice Cream? Haagen Daz at that? The top photo shows a pic of Katie...just a few hours after we had gotten her...in our hotel in Nanchang. She had had her first bath (ever) and at 11 months, was wearing size 6-9 months (still swallowed her!). She couldn't even sit up yet. The orphanage had given us her daily 'menu' which said she ate certain things... but it soon became crystal clear that this child had never eaten solid food in her life! (all the girls had the same 'schedule' given to them) AND no matter how hard we tried to encourage her with tasty tidbits and morsels throughout our trip....this stubborn lady refused all and any food except her bottle....UNTIL...we found Haagen Dazs bars in our hotel's gift shop freezer! The child dove at them....so we spent $$$$ every day on the $6 vanilla bars just to see the child eat something. When we got to Hong Kong, we found an actual Haagen Daz store at the Peak.... and again....this tiny female got her own cone....and scarfed it down. This was the only food consumed by this child on her continent of birth....and believe me...we tried. True story. NOW.....1 1/2 years later...emerges a new, healthy, happy little girl that still dives for ice cream. Had to take pics at our local Haagen Daz of all our ladies indulging in one of our favorite passions! And especially our Asian princess who will always get her own way at Haagen Daz!
