Lunar New Year

The year of the Rat has finally arrived - our little Taylor's year! She's going to be a rat. That just doesn't sound very nice...

Anyhow, since Jeff had to work today, I went to our relative's house (the big house) to celebrate the lunar new year (tradition). The only reason I am writing this entry, though, is because I just have the funniest story about my cousin's little daughter who is almost three years old, so here goes:

While all the ladies were sitting around the dining room table, the kids were running around playing, when all of a sudden, the little girl came by and placed her hand on my belly. No expression on her face or anything, but she just lightly placed her hand on my belly...and then she ran off again to play. A little later, she came back to look at the belly, and I told her that there was a baby inside. She got a very puzzled look on her face, and she felt her own belly. Then she lifted her dress and examined her belly closely. Then, she touched my belly, and lifted my shirt up to see under it! Then she smiled and said to me, "There's no baby. I checked." Her mom just stood there in disbelief, and then said to her little girl that the baby was inside the belly, not under the shirt. To this, the little girl replied, "Nope. I looked and there is no baby there." And then she went off to play again, not thinking any more about it. :)

Adorable. Happy Lunar New Year!

Love,
Rosa
